EN 1015-12 Test Methods for Masonry Mortar, Part 12: Standard Test for Determining the Adhesion Strength of Substrate Hardened Plaster and Plaster Mortars

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 1015-12 standard. This European standard specifies a method for determining the bond strength between plaster and plaster mortars and a substrate.

EN 1015-12 Test Methods for Masonry Mortar, Part 12: Standard Test for Determining the Adhesion Strength of Substrate Hardened Plaster and Plaster Mortars

Adhesion strength is determined as the maximum tensile stress exerted on a substrate by a direct load perpendicular to the surface of the plaster or plaster mortar.

The tensile load is applied via a defined tension head plate affixed to the test area of ​​the mortar surface. The bond strength achieved is the ratio between the failure load and the test area.

Fresh mortar for this test shall have a volume of at least 1,5 l or at least 1,5 times the volume required to carry out the test, whichever is greater, or shall be obtained by reducing the bulk test sample.

EUROLAB assists manufacturers with EN 1015-12 test compliance. Our test experts, with their professional working mission and principles, provide you, our manufacturers and suppliers, the best service and controlled testing process in our laboratories.
