Building Construction - Sealants - Determination of Tensile Properties (Extension to Break)
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 8339 standard provides a standardized method for determining the tensile properties of sealants used in building construction. The purpose of this standard is to ensure that sealants used in joints meet the necessary requirements for strength and performance.
According to the standard, the test involves applying the sealant to two parallel contact surfaces of test specimens. These test specimens are then subjected to tension until they rupture, and the resulting force/strain data is recorded. This information allows for the evaluation of the sealant's tensile properties and helps to determine its suitability for use in building construction.
By following the guidelines provided in DIN EN ISO 8339, manufacturers and industry professionals can measure and compare the tensile strength and elongation at break of different sealants. This information is critical for selecting the appropriate sealants for specific building applications and ensuring the overall quality and durability of constructed joints.
