DIN EN 14187-3 PDF Download

The DIN EN 14187-3 standard focuses on the evaluation of self-levelling properties in cold applied joint sealants used for concrete pavements in various trafficked areas such as roads and airfields. Self-levelling refers to the ability of the sealant to spread and level itself evenly over the surface without the need for additional tools or assistance.

This standard provides a test method for assessing the self-levelling properties of both normal and fuel-resistant joint sealants. The test is conducted to ensure that the sealants meet the required performance criteria in terms of their ability to flow and self-level effectively. Proper self-levelling properties are critical for achieving a uniform and effective seal between the joints, which is necessary to prevent water ingress, maintain structural integrity, and minimize future damage or deterioration.

By establishing a standardized testing procedure, this standard allows manufacturers, regulators, and users to compare and evaluate different sealant products based on their self-levelling performance. It ensures that the sealants used in concrete pavements meet the necessary requirements for optimal performance and longevity. Adherence to this standard helps to improve the quality and reliability of joint sealants, leading to reliable and durable concrete pavement structures.
