scope:

Specifies the general procedure to be followed in determining the dynamic viscosity of polymer binder based products used for the protection and repair of concrete structure. When the viscosities of products are being compared the rate of shear shall be approximately the same. The determination shall be made at a closely controlled temperature (23 +<9inf)->)°C unless otherwise agreed. The value gives information about the resistance of the material to brushing during the initial application period; no information is obtained, however, on the changes resulting from evaporation of solvents from the paint. The method specified in this Standard is suitable for all products used for the protection and repair of concrete structure whether they are Newtonian in behaviour or not.
