Grouts for tiles - Part 5: Determination of water absorption
This European Standard applies to all ceramic tile grouts for internal and external tile installations on walls and floors.
This European Standard specifies the test method to be used to determine the water absorption coefficient due to capillary action when the grout surface contacts the water without any additional pressure. The coefficient is measured by means of prisms.
This European Standard does not contain performance requirements or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles.
NOTE Ceramic tile grouts may also be used for other types of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones, etc.), where these do not adversely affect the stones.
Klebstoffe und Fugenmörtel für Fliesen und Platten - Teil 5: Bestimmung der Wasseraufnahme
Diese Europäische Norm ist auf sämtliche Fugenmörtel für keramische Fliesen und Platten an Wand und Boden für innen und außen anwendbar.
Diese Europäische Norm legt das Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Wasseraufnahmekoeffizienten durch Kapillarwirkung fest, wenn die Oberfläche des Fugenmörtels ohne zusätzlichen Druck mit Wasser in Berührung kommt. Der Koeffizient wird mit Prismen bestimmt.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält keine Anforderungen und keine Empfehlungen hinsichtlich der Planung und Verlegung von keramischen Fliesen/Platten.
ANMERKUNG Fugenmörtel für keramische Fliesen und Platten dürfen auch für andere Arten von Fliesen und Platten verwendet werden (Natur , Betonwerksteine usw.), sofern diese die Steine nicht negativ beeinflussen.
Mortiers de joints pour carrelage - Partie 5: Détermination de l'absorption d'eau
La présente Norme européenne s’applique à tous les mortiers utilisés pour le jointoiement de carrelages
céramiques sur les murs et au sol, à l’intérieur et à l’extérieur.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie la méthode d’essai qui doit être utilisée pour déterminer le coefficient
d’absorption d’eau par capillarité lorsque la surface du mortier entre en contact avec l’eau sans autre pression
supplémentaire. Le coefficient est mesuré au moyen d’éprouvettes parallélépipédiques.
La présente Norme européenne ne contient pas de spécifications, ni de recommandations pour la conception
et la pose des carrelages en céramique.
NOTE Les mortiers de joints pour carrelages céramiques peuvent être également utilisés pour d’autres types de
carrelage (pierre naturelle ou agglomérée, etc.) s'ils sont compatibles.
