Surfaces for sports areas - Determination of water infiltration rate
Also Known As:
Three test procedures for determining the rate of water infiltration are described in the DIN EN 12616 standard. For synthetic, textile, synthetic grass, and bonded mineral sports surfaces, use Method A. While Method C was created exclusively for unbound mineral sports surfaces, Method B is appropriate for natural turf. The use of laboratory experiments is advised by Method C because they give a more accurate picture of how a surface will function.
In conclusion, this standard offers instructions and methods for figuring out how much water permeates various sports surfaces. The three techniques described cater to particular surface materials, ensuring precise and suitable testing for each kind. The inclusion of lab testing for unbound mineral sports surfaces points to the necessity of more accurate evaluations in such circumstances.
