Grouts for Tiles - Part 5: Determination of Water Absorption
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12808-5 standard applies to ceramic tile grouts used in both internal and external tile installations on walls and floors. This standard specifically focuses on the test method used to determine the water absorption coefficient caused by capillary action when the grout surface comes into contact with water, without the application of additional pressure. The coefficient is measured using prisms.
It is important to note that this standard does not provide performance requirements or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles. However, it mentions that ceramic tile grouts may also be used with other types of tiles, such as natural and agglomerated stones, as long as they do not have any adverse effects on the stones. This standard provides a standardized method for determining the water absorption of grouts, ensuring consistency and reliability in their performance.
