BS EN 13454 is a series of European standards on binders used in concrete for building construction.
BS EN 13454-2 is the second part of the BS EN 13454 series of documents that describes the test methods for binders for floor screeds based on calcium sulphate specified in EN 13454-1.
BS EN 13454-2 also describes reference test methods. If methods and conditions other than these are used, it is important to show that they give results equivalent to those given by the reference methods.
BS EN 13454-2 on test methods for binders for floor screeds is useful for:
A screed binder is a cementitious binder based on hydraulic binders and special additives to replace cement in conventional aggregate-based floor screeds providing quick-drying indoor and outdoor cementitious screeds with high strength and low shrinkage.
BS EN 13454-2 describes test methods for binders and made mixtures of calcium sulphate for floor screeds and gives the equivalent test results of parameters such as pH-value, setting time, mechanical resistance, shrinkage and swelling and working time.
BS EN 13454-2 instructs you regarding the igniting temperature and duration of ignitions of the specimen, such procedures help the user attain quality and control.
Overall, BS EN 13454-2 could help you manufacture high-quality binders for floor screeds for interior use in buildings to give a smooth and level floor with both high strength and rapid installation properties.
