Building construction - Jointing products - Part 1: Determination of Extrudability of Sealants
Also Known As:
DIN EN ISO 8394-1 is a standard that focuses on the determination of the extrudability of sealants used in building construction. The standard provides a specific method for testing the extrudability of sealants, which is essential in assessing their overall quality and performance. It is important to note that this standard is solely intended for testing purposes and does not cover the classification of sealants.
The specific method outlined in this standard allows for the accurate measurement of the ease with which a sealant can be extruded. This process is crucial in determining the suitability of a sealant for its intended application, as it directly impacts the ease of installation and effectiveness of the jointing product. The extrudability test described in DIN EN ISO 8394-1 provides a standardized and reliable approach to evaluating the flow characteristics of sealants, ensuring consistency and accuracy in the assessment process.
By adhering to this standard, manufacturers can obtain objective and comparable results regarding the extrudability of their sealant products. This enables builders, architects, and contractors to make informed decisions when selecting sealants for various construction projects, ensuring optimal performance and durability of the joints. Additionally, this standard helps create a common understanding within the industry and facilitates effective communication between stakeholders involved in the construction process.
