Buildings and Civil Engineering Works - Sealants - Test Method for the Determination of Stringiness
Also Known As:
The DIN ISO 11527 standard provides guidelines for measuring the stringiness of wet-applied sealants. The purpose of this standard is to ensure consistency and reliability in evaluating the performance of sealants used in construction and civil engineering projects.
The standard outlines a specific test method which allows for the objective assessment of the stringiness of a sealant. The stringiness of a sealant refers to its ability to maintain a cohesive and elongated form when subjected to external forces. This property is crucial for ensuring the effective sealing and bonding of construction materials.
By specifying a standardized test procedure, the DIN ISO 11527 standard enables manufacturers, engineers, and regulatory bodies to assess the quality and performance of different sealants. The test method involves applying the sealant to a specified surface and subjecting it to controlled elongation, monitoring its behavior. The results obtained from this test can then be used to compare different sealant formulations, determine their suitability for specific applications, and ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.
