Natural stone test methods - Determination of resistance to salt crystallisation
This European Standard specifies a test method to assess the relative resistance of natural stones with an open porosity of greater than 5%, measured in accordance with prEN 1936, to damage caused by the crystallisation of salts. The test is not necessary for low porosity stones.
Prüfverfahren für Naturstein - Bestimmung des Widerstandes gegen Kristallisation von Salzen
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren fest, mit dem die relative Beständigkeit von Natursteinen, deren offene Porosität > 5% ist (gemessen nach prEN 1936), gegen Zerstörung durch die Kristallisation von Salzen bewertet werden kann. Das Prüfverfahren ist nicht geeignet für Naturstein mit einer geringen Porosität.
Méthodes d'essai pour pierres naturelles - Détermination de la résistance par un essai de cristallisation des sels
La présente norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'essai pour évaluer la résistance relative des pierres naturelles, dont la porosité ouverte, mesurée conformément au prEN 1936, est supérieure à 5%, aux altérations causées par la cristallisation des sels. Cet essai n'est pas nécessaire pour les pierres de faible porosité.
