What is BS EN 13062 - Thixotropy of reinforcement protection products about?

BS EN 13062 is one of a series of European standards dealing with products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures.

BS EN 13062 specifies a method for determining the thixotropy of products and systems intended for the protection of reinforcement.

Who is BS EN 13062 - Thixotropy of reinforcement protection products for?

BS EN 13062 on determining thixotropy of products for the protection of reinforcement is useful for:

• Manufacturers of concrete protection products
• Civil engineers
• Architects
• Testing and inspection personnel

Why should you use BS EN 13062 - Thixotropy of reinforcement protection products?

Thixotropy is the sagging of a protection product from a steel plate stored in a vertical position for 24 hours after its application. Products with higher thixotropy tend to get less viscous as the stress increases on them and they get accumulated at a lower level. This results in uneven coating of protection for reinforcements.

BS EN 14117 helps you to determine the thixotropy of protection products for the protection of reinforcement by providing you with detailed guidance on the apparatus requirements, and a step-by-step procedure of its test method. Overall, the test method described in BS EN 14117 enables you to identify the most suitable coating products used for the protection or repair of concrete structures.
