Adhesives - Test methods for hydraulic setting floor smoothing and/or levelling compounds - Determination of flow characteristics

This document outlines the testing procedures for evaluating the flow characteristics of hydraulic floor leveling compounds and/or self-leveling mortars. It establishes specific methodologies to measure the spreading behavior and fluidity of these materials, which are critical for ensuring proper application on construction surfaces. The standard addresses the performance parameters necessary to assess how these compounds behave under defined conditions, providing a consistent framework for laboratories and manufacturers. By adhering to the prescribed experimental protocols, users can determine key indicators related to the material's ability to flow and level itself. This approach facilitates quality control and compliance in the production and use of construction adhesives and leveling agents. The procedures detailed herein aim to deliver reliable and repeatable results, supporting the technical assessment of hydraulic-based floor preparation products without requiring subjective interpretation of the physical properties during testing.
