What is BS EN 14694 - Resistance to impact puncturing of a waterproofing sheet about?
BS EN 14694 is the European standard on flexible sheets for waterproofing of concrete bridge decks and other concrete surfaces trafficable by vehicles.
BS EN 14694 specifies a test method for the evaluation of the resistance to impact puncturing of a sheet or sheet system.
Who is BS EN 14694 - Resistance to impact puncturing of a waterproofing sheet for?
BS EN 14694 on flexible sheets for waterproofing is useful for:
- Builders and architects
- Manufacturers and suppliers of sheet and waterproofing materials
- Concrete manufacturers
- Manufacturers of building binders and sealing materials
Why should you use BS EN 14694 - Resistance to impact puncturing of a waterproofing sheet?
Puncture resistance is a measure of the tensile strength of a material.
BS EN 14694 provides the requirements on apparatus and materials used for testing the pre-treatment impact puncturing of waterproofing sheets.
Preparation of test specimens and test procedure is described in BS EN 14694 to test the resistance of waterproofing sheets to dynamic water pressure.
BS EN 14694 specifies the expression of results of the test performed to verify the resistance to impact puncturing of a sheet for each test specimen as well as the test report on information about sampling, preparation, drying and conditioning of test specimens.
Moreover, BS EN 14694 provides guidance for effective waterproofing design in order to prevent water from entering or escaping from various areas of the building structure while assuring water absorption and permeability, shear strength, and tensile strength of the waterproof bonding layer improving its durability.
This way, you can acquire effective waterproofing systems that completely enclose all regions subjected to hydrostatic pressure and chemical contaminants.
