BS EN 14187-4:2017

What is BS EN 14187-4 - Determining the resistance of cold applied joint sealants about ?  

BS EN 14187-4 is the fourth part of the BS EN 14187 series of standards that describes a test method for determining the resistance of cold applied joint sealants to the action of liquid chemicals by measuring the change in mass and volume after immersion in test fuels or in liquid chemicals. 

Who is BS EN 14187-4 - Determining the resistance of cold applied joint sealants for ? 

BS EN 14187-4 on determining the resistance of cold applied joint sealants is useful for: 

• Manufacturers, suppliers, and testing laboratories of joint sealants  
• Road and airfield construction companies  
• Airport authorities  
• Construction industry   
• Civil engineers 

Why should you use BS EN 14187-4 - Determining the resistance of cold applied joint sealants ?  

The purpose of the sealant is to minimize the infiltration of surface water and incompressible material into the joint system. 

BS EN 14187-4 specifies the test method to determine the change in mass and volume which will help in understanding the mechanical performance, durability, and failure mode of cold applied joint sealants. BS EN 14187-4 will help you to manufacture sealants that are resistant to the chemicals.  

What is changed since the last update?
