What is BS EN 13892-8 - Bond strength of screed materials about?
BS EN 13892-8 is the eighth part of the BS EN 13892 multi-series that deal with test methods for screed materials.
BS EN 13892-8 specifies a method for determining the bond strength between a screed and a standard substrate for specimens made from cementitious screed-, calcium sulphate screed-, magnesite screed- and synthetic resin screed material.
Who is BS EN 13892-8 - Bond strength of screed materials for?
BS EN 13892-8 on test method for determining bond strength of screed materials is useful for:
- Cement manufacturers
- Civil engineers
- Architects
- Quality control personnel
- Testing and inspection personnel
Why should you use BS EN 13892-8 - Bond strength of screed materials?
Screeds are comprised of various materials like cement, concrete, mortars and sand grains etc. The strength of screeds depends upon the bonding of these materials. Identifying the bond strength of the screed can help you determine the structural strength of the screed.
BS EN 13892-8 helps you to determine the bond strength of screed materials by providing you with detailed guidance on the apparatus requirements, and step-by-step procedures for the tensile load test.
Overall, the test methods described in BS EN 13892-2 help you to identify the build quality of the screed material and the quality of the materials used to make it.
