Overview
EN 14617-6:2012 - Agglomerated stone: Test methods - Part 6: Determination of thermal shock resistance is a European Standard (CEN) that defines a laboratory method to assess the effect of sudden temperature changes on agglomerated stone by immersion in hot water. The standard is intended to evaluate thermal shock resistance for typical building uses (notably flooring and wall applications) and specifies conditioning, cycling, measurement and reporting requirements.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Measures modifications (visual, mass and mechanical) caused by repeated thermal shocks (hot oven → cold water immersion). Test temperature selected is 70 ± 5 °C (hot) and 15 ± 5 °C (water).
- Specimens: Two sets of at least 7 specimens selected from a homogeneous batch - one set for reference, one for cycling.
- Pre-conditioning and drying: Condition at (20 ± 5) °C for (24 ± 2) h; dry at (40 ± 5) °C to constant mass (constant mass = ≤ 0.1% difference between two weighings 24 ± 2 h apart).
- Thermal cycling procedure: One cycle = (18 ± 1) h in ventilated oven at (70 ± 5) °C, immediately followed by (6 ± 0,5) h submerged in demineralised water at (15 ± 5) °C. Repeat for 20 cycles. Specimens placed ≥ 50 mm apart; water level (60 ± 10) mm above specimens.
- Measurements: Visual inspection (colour change, swelling, cracking, scaling), mass before/after (m0, mf) and flexural strength before/after (Rf, Rsf) - flexural testing per EN 14617-2.
- Results: Express mean percentage change in mass (∆m) and mean percentage change in flexural strength (∆Rf,20). Include observation of all visible alterations.
- Apparatus: ventilated oven, cooled water tank with supports, accurate balance (±0.01% accuracy), desiccator, demineralised water, linear measuring device.
- Reporting: Full test report including specimen details, dates, dimensions, observed alterations, percentage changes, uncertainty, deviations and signatures.
Practical applications
- Quality control and production acceptance testing for agglomerated stone products.
- Product development and comparative testing of formulations/binders (cement, polymer).
- Suitability assessment for flooring and wall cladding where thermal fluctuation and hot-liquid exposure may occur.
- Evidence for technical datasheets, conformity documentation and client specifications.
- Use in failure analysis where thermal shock is suspected.
Who should use this standard
- Testing laboratories and accredited QA facilities
- Stone and engineered stone manufacturers
- Product engineers and R&D teams
- Architects, specifiers and contractors evaluating material durability
- Certification bodies and compliance officers
