Decline in the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity in Ceramic Tiles Depending on the Adhesive

Decline in the Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity in Ceramic Tiles Depending on the Adhesive

Paper in proceedings (conference paper)

The paper describes an experiment aimed at verifying the influence of the size of large-format tile segments and, primarily, the influence of various adhesives on the quality and behaviour of the tiles. Large-format tiles were attached in various ways to pre-prepared concrete panels with a thickness of 150 mm and surface dimensions of 2 m x 3 m. The adhesives used were varied as well as the size to which the large-format elements were cut. The quality of the tiling material was monitored non-destructively by running an ultrasonic pulse velocity test. It was found that while the size of the segments cut from the large-format tiles did not affect the ultrasonic pulse velocity, the adhesive used did.
