1 Scope This European Standard specifies methods for the determination of the coefficient of thermal expansion of hardened structural bonding agents. The first method provides a continuous measurement of linear thermal expansion using thermomechanical analysis techniques. This method may also be used for surface protection systems. The alternative method uses prisms of 40 mm × 40 mm × 160 mm. This method may also be used for repair mortar. Both methods are suitable for bonding agents formulated with fillers of up to 4 mm.
