EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN 772-8 testing. This standard covers a method for determining the water absorption amount of aggregate concrete masonry units by soaking samples in water for a certain period of time.
The standard includes the steps required to measure the water absorption capacity of masonry units by soaking them in water for a predetermined period of time.
Masonry units are first weighed to determine their dry weight. Next, the units are completely submerged in water and left to soak for a specified period of time. After the holding period, the wet weights of the units are measured.
The water absorption rate is determined by calculating the wet weight increase as a percentage of the dry weight of the units. This ratio shows how sensitive the unit is to water and its effect on its structural integrity.
Samples selected for testing must comply with certain standards in terms of size, shape and other physical properties. Proper preparation and storage of samples is important to the accuracy of the test.
Water absorption testing is an important factor to evaluate the suitability of using aggregate concrete masonry units in construction projects. Test results help determine the durability of these materials against various environmental conditions and moisture levels.
EN 772-8 provides a standard method for evaluating the water absorption properties of aggregate concrete masonry units. This increases the comparability and consistency of different products.
