What is BS EN 14117 - Time of efflux of cementitious injection products about?
BS EN 14117 is one of the European standards that fall under the general title of “products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures”.
BS EN 14117 describes a test method for determining the time of efflux of cementitious injection products, based on the measurement of the time taken for a standard volume of the product to flow through a standardised cone (Marsh cone).
Who is BS EN 14117 - Time of efflux of cementitious injection products for?
BS EN 14117 on test method for determining the time of efflux of cementitious injection products is useful for:
- Manufacturers of concrete protection products
- Civil engineers
- Architects
- Testing and inspection personnel
Why should you use BS EN 14117 - Time of efflux of cementitious injection products?
The time of efflux is a measure of the viscosity of cementitious injection products. The effectiveness of cementitious injection products depends on their viscosity. Products with a higher level of viscosity are able to penetrate through soil or cracks and faults in concrete structures.
BS EN 14117 helps you to determine the time of efflux of cementitious injection products by providing you with detailed guidance on the apparatus requirements, and a step-by-step procedure of its test method. Overall, the test method described in BS EN 14117 enables you to regulate the viscosity level of cementitious injection products used for the protection or repair of concrete structures.
