INTERNATIONAL STANDARD IS0 10545-10 First edition 1995-11-15 Ceramic tiles - Part 10: Determination of moisture expansion Carreaux et da/es cbamiques - Pat-tie 10: D L is the mean initial length, in millimetres, of the test specimen. The moisture expansion, expressed as a percentage, may be calculated using the formula +x100 8 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) reference to this part of IS0 10545; b) a description of the tiles and the size of the specimens; c) the moisture expansion of each test specimen, underlining the maximum value obtained; d) the average moisture expansion of the tiles. 2 Copyright International Organization for Standardization Provided by IHS under license with ISO Licensee=NASA Technical Standards 1/9972545001 Not for Resale, 04/27/2007 03:14:00 MDTNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS -,-,- 0 IS0 IS0 10545-I 0:1995(E) Annex A (informative) Remarks on the moisture expansion of ceramic tiles The majority of glazed and unglazed tiles have negligible natural moisture expansion that does not contribute to tiling problems when tiles are correctly fixed. However, with unsatisfactory fixing practices and in certain climatic conditions, natural moisture expansion may aggravate problems, especially when tiles are directly fixed to inadequately aged concrete substrates. In these cases, a maximum limit of 0,06 % moisture expansion is recommended when the test is used.
