Surfaces for Sports Areas - Determination of Water Absorption of Unbound Minerals
Also Known As:
For testing the water absorption capabilities of unbound minerals used in outdoor sports surfaces, refer to the DIN EN 14952 standard. The standard is applicable to minerals with grains up to 6 mm in size.
This standard's goal is to guarantee that the sports surfaces have the proper water absorption qualities, which might have an impact on their durability and performance. The standard's procedure calls for soaking a sample of the unbound minerals in water and measuring how much water is absorbed over a predetermined amount of time.
Sports surface makers and designers can evaluate the feasibility of various materials for various outdoor sports activities by evaluating the unbound minerals' water absorption. This knowledge can aid in ensuring that the surfaces offer athletes the required safety, traction, and performance qualities.
The overall durability and quality of sports surfaces can be improved by conforming to DIN EN 14952, which enables them to resist a variety of weather conditions and preserve their integrity over time.
