Glassfibre allows the construction of very slim elements with good tensile strength. BS EN 15422 is a European Standard that discusses precast concrete products.
BS EN 15422 specifies requirements for glassfibres used as reinforcement in mortars and concrete for non-structural products.
BS EN 15422 applies to continuous filament glassfibre products in the form of roving, strands, or chopped strands and related products such as nets or mats based on these products.
BS EN 15422 on glassfibre strands nets mats for concrete specification is useful for:
Glass fibre is made up of several fine fibres of glass and can be used in the form of strands, roving, chopped strands, nets, or mats. Glassfibre is one of the most versatile industrial materials, and has comparable mechanical properties to other fibres such as carbon fibre and polymers.
BS EN 15422 walks you through aspects of glassfibre such the physical condition and properties, testing, and compliance for glassfibres.
As a manufacturer of glassfibre products, complying with BS EN 15422 helps you to demonstrate the performance and quality of your products, ensuring that they are fit for their intended use.
