What is BS EN 13892‑9- Screed material dimensional stability about?

BS EN 13892‑9 is the ninth part of the multi-series European standard which discusses tests for screed materials. Screed is a thin layer of material that is typically made from sharp sand, cement, and water.

BS EN 13892‑9 specifies a method for determining the dimensional stability (i.e., the shrinkage and swelling) of cementitious screed, calcium sulfate screed, magnesite screed, and synthetic resin screed materials.

Who is BS EN 13892‑9- Screed material dimensional stability for?

BS EN 13892‑9 on dimensional stability for screed materials is applicable for:

Screed manufacturing companies
Retailers and suppliers for screed materials
Construction companies
Civil engineers

Why should you use BS EN 13892‑9- Screed material dimensional stability?

Screed is a thin, top layer of material that is laid over a concrete subfloor, that is made of sharp sand and cement which is similar to concrete. The purpose of the screed is to cover the structural flooring concrete and can be applied to the solid concrete floor slab.

BS EN 13892‑9 provides you with the test method and preparation of specimen for testing of dimensional stability. This test will help you improve the quality of the screed materials.
