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 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 can 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 Klebstoffe und 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 ohne zusätzlichen Druck, wenn die Oberfläche des Fugenmörtels mit Wasser in Berührung kommt, fest. Der Koeffizient wird mit Prismen bestimmt.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält keine Anforderungen an und Empfehlungen für die Planung und Verlegung von keramischen Fliesen und Platten.
ANMERKUNG   Fugenmörtel für keramische Fliesen und Platten können auch für andere Materialarten verwendet werden (Natur-, Betonwerksteine usw.), sofern diese die Steine nicht negativ beeinflussen.

Mortiers de joints pour carrelages - 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 spécifie la méthode d'essai qui doit être utilisée pour déterminer l'absorption d'eau par capillarité lorsque la surface du mortier est en contact avec de l'eau sans pression particulière. Cette mesure est réalisée sur des éprouvettes prismatiques.
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 peuvent être également utilisés pour d'autres types de carrelage (pierre naturelle ou agglomérée, etc.) s'ils sont compatibles.
