What is BS EN 772-18 - Freeze-thaw resistance of calcium silicate masonry units about?
BS EN 772-18 is the 18th part of the multiple series that specifies a method of determining the freeze-thaw resistance of calcium silicate masonry units.
Who is BS EN 772-18 - Freeze-thaw resistance of calcium silicate masonry units for?
BS EN 772-18 on freeze-thaw resistance of calcium silicate masonry units is useful for:
- Construction industries
- Civil engineers
- Architects
- Designers
- Testing laboratories of calcium silicate masonry units
- Manufacturers of calcium silicate masonry units 
Why should you use BS EN 772-18 - Freeze-thaw resistance of calcium silicate masonry units?
Calcium silicate masonry units are used for several purposes in construction industries such as ornamental works in buildings, masonry works, etc. Sand lime bricks are popularly used in European countries.
BS EN 772-18 specifies calcium silicate masonry units that are conditioned by immersion in water in a prescribed way and are then subjected to repeated cycles of freezing and thawing. This will help you to examine the damage for compressive strength. BS EN 772-18 specifies similar samples that have not been subjected to the freeze-thaw regime. This will help you to determine the category of freeze-thaw resistance.
