BS 6319-7:1985

This standard BS 6319-7:1985 Testing of resin and polymer/cement compositions for use in construction is classified in these ICS categories:

• 91.100.10 Cement. Gypsum. Lime. Mortar

This Part of BS 6319 describes a method for measurement of the tensile strength of resin based mortars and concretes cast in the form of dumb-bell shaped briquette test specimens.

This method is not applicable to unfilled systems (see note 1), or to materials having fibrous constituents (see note 2) or to materials containing a filler that will not pass through a 3.35 mm test sieve as specified in BS 410.

NOTE 1 The procedure described in Method 320D of BS 2782:Methods 320A to BS 2782:Methods 320F:1976 is suitable for unfilled systems.

NOTE 2 Materials having fibrous constituents often give inconsistent results when tested for tensile strength and should not be assessed using the procedure described in this standard.

NOTE 3 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.

Specifies a method of test for tensile strength on dumb-bell shaped briquette specimens.
