Ceramic tiles Grouts flexural and compressive strength test, ISO 13007-4, EN 13888‑2
The strength test for ceramic tiles grouts involves several methods to determine their performance characteristics. These include:
Flexural and compressive strength: To assess the durability and load-bearing capacity of the grout.
Water absorption: To evaluate the grout's ability to withstand moisture.
Shrinkage: To measure the grout's resistance to expansion and contraction.
Resistance to abrasion: To test the grout's durability against wear and tear.
Transverse deformation: To determine the grout's ability to maintain its shape under stress.
EN 13888-2: Grouts for ceramic tiles - Part 2: Test methods
ISO 13007-4: Ceramic tiles — Grouts and adhesives - Part 4: Test methods for grouts
These standard specifies the methods for determining characteristics for grouts used in internal and external installation of ceramic tiles.
Test methods:
- Determination of flexural and compressive strength (9.1);
- Determination of water absorption (9.2);
- Determination of shrinkage (9.3);
- Determination of resistance to abrasion (9.4);
- Determination of chemical resistance (9.5).
