What is BS EN 13687-5 - Temperature shock resistance of surface protection systems about?
BS EN 13687-5 is the fifth of a series of five parts to assess the thermal compatibility of products and systems for the repair and protection of concrete.
BS EN 13687-5 is relevant only to surface protection systems and specifies a method for determining the resistance of surface protection systems to high-temperature shock.
This test method is also suitable for testing the resistance of surface protection systems against hot chemicals.
Who is BS EN 13687-5 - Temperature shock resistance of surface protection systems for?
BS EN 13687-5 on test method for determining thermal compatibility of repair products and surface protection systems is useful for:
- Manufacturers/suppliers of concrete protection products
- Civil engineers
- Architects
- Testing and inspection personnel
Why should you use BS EN 13687-5 - Temperature shock resistance of surface protection systems?
Concrete structures endure cyclical temperature changes over a long duration. These changes deteriorate concrete structures and cause cracks and faults to occur in them. To prevent these deteriorations repair products and surface protection systems are applied to concrete structures.
BS EN 13687-1 helps you to determine the thermal compatibility of surface protection systems by providing you with detailed guidance on the apparatus requirements, and a step-by-step procedure for the temperature shock resistance test method.
Overall, the test method described in BS EN 13687-1 helps you to identify and compare the effectiveness of surface protection systems against rapid changes in temperature.
