Products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures - Test methods - Determination of resistance of capillary absorption
用于混凝土结构保护和修复的产品和系统 - 试验方法 - 毛细吸收阻力的测定
This European Standard is one of a series dealing with products and systems for the protection and repair of concrete structures. It specifies a method for determining the resistance to water absorption of repair products and systems, as defined in EN 1504-3.
The method is based on measuring the increase in weight due to capillary absorption of water over a fixed time interval. The weight of water absorbed is expressed as a coefficient, indicating the tendency of the specimen to imbibe water by capillary action without external pressure applied.
