27、; j) the end-point for the determination of final setting time is required to be confirmed by testing in two additional positions in the test specimen (6.3.1); k) the material of construction of the Le Chatelier apparatus for determination of soundness is extended to any non-corrodible spring metal
28、(7.1 .I); I) the minimum relative humidity in which specimens for determination of soundness are to be stored is reduced to 90 % from 98 % (7.1.3); m) the determination of soundness is carried out once (7.2); n) where a retest of the determination of soundness is required the relative humidity at wh
29、ich the cement sample is stored is reduced to 50 % from 65 % (7.4).

EN 196-3:2005 (E) 1 Scope This document specifies the methods for determining standard consistence
31、, setting times and soundness of cements. The method applies to common cements and to other cements and materials, the standards for which call up this method. It may not apply to other cement types that have, for example, a very short initial setting time. The method is used for assessing whether t
32、he setting time and soundness of a cement is in conformity with its specification. This document describes the reference methods and allows the use of alternative procedures and equipment, as indicated in notes, provided that they have been calibrated against the reference methods. In the event of a
33、 dispute, only the reference equipment and procedures are used. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced documen
34、t (including any amendments) applies. EN 196-1, Methods of testing cement - Part I: Determination of strength 3 Principles Cement paste of standard consistence has a specified resistance to penetration by a standard plunger. The water required for such a paste is determined by trial penetrations of
35、pastes with different water contents. The setting time is determined by observing the penetration of a needle into cement paste of standard consistence until it reaches a specified value. The soundness is determined by observing the volume expansion of cement paste of standard consistence as indicat
36、ed by the relative movement of two needles. 4 Laboratory, equipment and materials 4.1 Laboratory The laboratory in which specimens are prepared and tested shall be maintained at a temperature of (20 ? 2) “C and a relative humidity of not less than 50 %. The temperature and relative humidity of the a
37、ir in the laboratory and the temperature of the water in the storage containers shall be recorded at least once per day during working hours. Cement, water and apparatus used to make and test specimens shall be at a temperature of (20 ? 2) “C. Where temperature ranges are given, the target temperatu
38、re at which the controls are set shall be the middle value of the range. EN 196-3:2005 (E) 4.2 Equipment and materials 4.2.1 General requirements The tolerances shown in Figures 1 and 2 are important for correct operation of the equipment in the testing procedure. When regular control measurements s
39、how that the tolerances are not met, the equipment shall be rejected, adjusted or repaired. Records of control measurements shall be kept. Acceptance measurements on new equipment shall cover mass, volume, and dimensions to the extent that these are indicated in this document paying particular atten
40、tion to those critical dimensions for which tolerances are specified. In those cases where the material of the equipment can influence the results, the material is specified and shall be used. The approximate dimensions shown in the figures are provided as guidance to equipment manufacturers or oper
41、ators. Dimensions which include tolerances are obligatory. 4.2.2 Balance, capable of weighing to an accuracy of + 1 g. 4.2.3 Graduated cylinder or burette, capable of dispensing to an accuracy of? 1 ml 4.2.4 Mixer, conforming to EN 196-1. NOTE A more homogeneous paste is produced at the lower limit
42、of tolerance for the clearance between the blade and the bowl. 4.2.5 Water, distilled or deionized water shall be used for making the specimens. Drinking water may be used for storing and boiling specimens. 4.2.6 Timer, capable of measuring to an accuracy of? 1 s. 4.2.7 Ruler, capable of measuring t
43、o an accuracy of? 0,5 mm 5 Standard consistence test 5.1 Apparatus Use the manual Vicat apparatus as shown in Figure 1 a) and 1 b) with the plunger shown in Figure 1 c). The plunger shall be of non-corrodible metal in the form of a right cylinder of at least 45 mm effective length and of (10,OO ? 0,
44、05) mm diameter. The total mass of moving parts shall be (300 + 1) g. Their movement shall be truly veltical and without appreciable friction, and their axis shall coincide with that of the plunger. The Vicat mould (see Figure 1 a) to contain the paste under test shall be of hard rubber, plastics or
45、 brass. It shall be of cylindrical or preferably truncated conical form (40,O ? 0,2) mm deep and shall have an internal diameter of (75 + 10) mm. It shall be adequately rigid and shall be provided with a base-plate larger than the mould and at least 2,5 mm thick, constructed of impermeable material
46、resistant to attack by cement paste, e.g. plane glass. NOTE 1 Moulds of other metal may be used provided that they are of the specified depth and that their use has been calibrated against the specified mould, NOTE 2 It is recommended that a laboratory uses base plates of equal thickness in order th
47、at the scale of the Vicat apparatus has only to be adjusted once for several determinations. EN 196-3:2005 (E) 5.2 Procedure 5.2.1 Mixing the cement paste Weigh, to an accuracy of +I g, by means of the balance (4.2.2), 500 g of cement and a quantity of water, e.g. 125 g. When water is measured by vo
48、lume using the graduated cylinder or burette (4.2.3) it shall be dispensed to an accuracy of + 1 ml. Mix each batch of paste mechanically using the mixer (4.2.4). The timing of the various mixing stages refers to the times at which mixer power is switched onloff and shall be maintained within + 2 s.
49、 With the mixer in the operating condition: a) place the water and cement into the bowl taking care to avoid loss of water or cement; complete the addition within 10 s; b) immediately start the mixer at low speed whilst starting the timing of the mixing stages. In addition, record the time to the nearest minute as zero time; NOTE 1 Zero time is the point from which the initial (see 6.2) and final (see 6.3) setting times are calculated. c) Stop the mixer after 90 s for 30 s during which remove by means of a suitable rubber or plastics scraper all the paste adhering to the wall
