EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 772-13 testing. This European standard specifies a method for the determination of the net and gross dry density of masonry units (excluding natural stone masonry units).
EN 772-13 is a European Standard that specifies a test method for determining the net and gross dry density of wall units. This standard is part of a larger series of standards that outlines test methods for wall units.
The net dry density of a bulk unit is defined as its dry weight per unit volume excluding the volume of voids in the unit. The gross dry density of a masonry unit is defined as its dry weight per unit volume, including the volume of voids in the unit. These measurements are important for determining the quality and durability of masonry units.
The test procedure outlined in EN 772-13 first involves determining the dry weight of the masonry unit. The unit is then immersed for a certain period of time to allow any cavity to be filled with water. The unit is then removed from the water, allowed to drain for a period of time, and then weighed again. The unit's net and gross dry density can then be calculated using these measurements.
Adherence to this standard is essential to ensure that masonry units meet the quality standards required for construction projects. Higher density masonry units are generally considered stronger and more durable and can withstand greater loads and stresses. By ensuring that wall units meet the requirements set out in this standard, builders can be confident in the quality and longevity of their construction projects.
