Overview
EN 14617-11:2005 (CEN) defines a standardized test method for determining the linear thermal expansion coefficient of agglomerated stone used for internal and external flooring or walling. The standard describes the principle, required apparatus, specimen preparation, temperature program, data acquisition and result expression to ensure reproducible measurement of thermal expansion for quality control, specification and product data sheets.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Applies to agglomerated stone products (resin- and cement-bound) intended for building floors and walls.
- Principle: Measure change in specimen length (ΔL) over a temperature change (ΔT) using a dilatometer; calculate α = ΔL / (L · ΔT).
- Expression: The linear thermal expansion coefficient (α) is expressed in standard units (commonly 10^-6 °C^-1).
- Apparatus:
- Dilatometer with expansion sensor, sample holder and moving slide
- Furnace (room temperature to at least +150 °C) governed by PC
- Push rod / measuring system to transfer length change out of heated zone
- Temperature sensor in direct contact with sample and data acquisition PC
- Manual linear gauge (accuracy 0.05 mm)
- Specimen dimensions:
- Minimum representative length ≥ 10 mm for materials with maximum grit size up to 6 mm
- For maximum grit size 2–6 mm, repeat measurement on at least three different samples
- For grit size > 6 mm, Annex A prescribes a theoretical calculation method
- Temperature program & behaviour:
- Heating recommended: room temperature → 130 °C at 3 °C/min
- Cooling rate depends on test conditions (may be less controllable)
- Resin-bound materials often exhibit a glass transition (≈ 55–75 °C); linear behaviour must be assessed in ranges below and/or above this transition
- A practical α for 20–130 °C can be averaged from appropriate ranges if needed
- Reporting: Reports must include specimen details, binder nature, test temperatures/rates, whether α was measured during heating or cooling, and any deviations.
Applications and users
- Who uses this standard:
- Materials testing laboratories and certification bodies
- Agglomerated stone manufacturers (R&D and quality control)
- Architects, specifiers and facade/flooring engineers
- Installers assessing thermal compatibility with substrates and joints
- Practical uses:
- Specifying thermal movement tolerances for flooring and cladding
- Verifying product data for performance and compliance
- Troubleshooting thermal movement failures (cracking, delamination)
- Supporting compatibility assessments with adhesives, subfloors and expansion joints

Not applicable.
3 Principle
The principle of the determination of the linear thermal expansion coefficient consists of measuring the variation in
length of a sample of agglomerated stone during a temperature change. The temperature change is achieved by
heating or cooling the sample through a programmed cycle. A suitable dilatometer measures the expansion or the
shrinkage of the sample, relatively to the initial length.
