ISO/TS 16774-3:2016 PDF Download

ISO/TS 16774-3:2016 is a standard that focuses on the evaluation of repair materials for water-leakage cracks in underground concrete structures. Specifically, this standard provides a test method for determining the water resistance, also known as wash out resistance, of these materials. The objective of this standard is to assess how well the repair materials can withstand the flow of water underground without eroding or washing out.

The test method described in ISO/TS 16774-3:2016 is conducted in a laboratory setting. It involves subjecting the repair materials to a controlled flow of water. The materials are exposed to specific water flow rates and durations, mimicking the conditions they may face when used in underground concrete structures. The aim is to evaluate their ability to resist erosion and washout under these conditions.

By providing a standardized test method, ISO/TS 16774-3:2016 allows manufacturers, contractors, and other relevant stakeholders to objectively assess the performance of different repair materials. This information can help in selecting the most suitable materials for repairing water-leakage cracks in underground concrete structures, ensuring their long-term durability and effectiveness in preventing water ingress.
