EN ISO 10563 Buildings and Civil Engineering Works - Mastics - Determination of Change in Mass and Volume

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN ISO 10563 standard. The EN ISO 10563 standard specifies a method for determining the mass change and volume change of self-leveling and non-sagging sealants used in joints in building construction.

This test procedure is not intended to determine the absolute maximum value of volume loss of a tested sealant, but is an indicative measurement of volume loss under specified parameters.

Test specimens consist of metal rings filled with non-sag sealant or metal molds filled with self-leveling sealant. The rings or molds are weighed in air and water, before and after filling, before and after special conditioning. The change in mass and volume of the tested sealant is calculated.

For Non-Sagging Sealant;

Sealant and metal rings should be brought to (23 ± 2)°C. Three test samples will be prepared for each feature to be tested. Each metal ring should be weighed using the balance in air (mass m1) and also in test liquid (mass m2) for volume testing.

For Self Leveling Mastic;

Sealant and metal molds should be brought to (23 ± 2)°C. Three test samples will be prepared for each feature to be tested. Each metal mold should be weighed in air (mass m1) using the balance and also in test liquid (mass m2) for volume testing.
