17、dard (EN 413-2:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 51 “Cement and building limes”, the secretariat of which is held by IBN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by Decemb
18、er 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2005. This European Standard supersedes EN 413-2:1994. EN 413 Masonry cement consists of the following Parts. Part 1: Composition, specifications and conformity criteria Part 2: Test methods The main differences
19、 between this European Standard and EN 413-2:1994 are: Exclusion of workability (cohesivity). Introduction of an optional setting time procedure using the specimen storage conditions (in air) that were previously specified in EN 196-3:1994. This is necessary because the (under water) method specifie
20、d in EN 196-3:2005, is not suitable for some masonry cements which have low clinker contents. Diameter of filter paper used in the water retention test increased from 100 mm to the more readily available 110 mm size. Specification introduced for non-woven tissue to be used in the water absorption te
21、st. Weighing precision in water content test increased from 1 g to 0,1 g. Improved description of procedure for filling of air content test apparatus. Introduction of precision statements for determination of mortar standard consistency, water retention and air content. Clarification of requirements
22、 for retesting if mortar flow does not lie within the required range. Clarification of requirements for retesting if pairs of results for water retention or air content differ by more than twice the standard deviation of repeatability. Clarification of calibration procedures for flow table and air c

EN 413-2:2005 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard includes additional test methods to those described in EN 196 Methods of testing cement that
25、 enable the performance of masonry cement to be assessed when used in mortar for bedding masonry units and for rendering and plastering. EN 413-2:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard describes reference and alternative test methods to be used when testing masonry cements to assess their conform
26、ity to EN 413-1. It gives the tests on fresh mortar for consistence, water retention and air content. In the event of a dispute, only the reference methods are used. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references

Where the test is not part of a series subject to statistical control, two tests shall be performed to determine each
33、 property. 4 Determination of setting time 4.1 General The setting time is determined by observing the penetration of a needle into a cement paste of standard consistence until it reaches a specified value. The setting time is determined in accordance with either method A (4.2) or method B (4.3). Me
34、thod B is the reference method. 4.2 Method A The setting time is determined in accordance with EN 196-3. NOTE Experience has shown that the method specified in EN 196-3, in which the specimens are tested under water, is not suitable for some masonry cements which have low clinker contents. 4.3 Metho
35、d B 4.3.1 Test principle The equipment used and the specimen preparation procedures are as described in EN 196-3 but with the additional requirement for a room or a humidity cabinet of adequate size and maintained at (20 1) C and not less than 90 % relative humidity. 4.3.2 Initial setting time proce
36、dure Calibrate the Vicat apparatus with the needle, attached in advance of the test, by lowering the needle to rest on the base-plate to be used and adjusting the pointer to read zero on the scale. Raise the needle to the stand-by position. Fill a Vicat mould in accordance with 5.2.2 of EN 196-3:200
37、5 with paste of standard consistence mixed in accordance with 5.2.1 of EN 196-3:2005. Place the filled mould and base-plate in the room or humidity cabinet and after a suitable time, position the mould, base-plate and container under the needle of the Vicat apparatus. Lower the needle gently until i
38、t is in contact with the paste. Pause in that position for between 1 s and 2 s in order to avoid initial velocity or forced acceleration of the moving parts. Then release the moving parts quickly and allow the needle to penetrate vertically into the paste. Read the scale when penetration has ceased,
39、 or 30 s after the release of the needle, whichever is the earlier. Record the scale reading, which indicates the distance between the end of the needle and the base-plate, together with the time from zero. Repeat the penetration on the same specimen at conveniently spaced positions, not less than 8
40、 mm from the rim of the mould or 5mm from each other and at least 10 mm from the last penetration position, at conveniently spaced intervals of time, e.g. at 10 min intervals. Between penetrations keep the specimen in a room or humidity cabinet. Clean the Vicat needle immediately after each penetrat
41、ion. Retain the specimen if determination of the final setting time is to be made. EN 413-2:2005 (E) 7 4.3.3 Report initial setting time Report the time measured from zero at which the distance between the needle and the base-plate is (6 3) mm as the initial setting time of the cement to the nearest
42、 5 min. If the initial setting time exceeds 6h determine the final setting time. 4.3.4 Final setting time procedure Invert the filled mould and follow the procedure described in 6.3 of EN 196-3:2005 with the specimen held in the room or humidity cabinet at controlled humidity rather than under water
43、. 4.3.5 Report final setting time Report the time measured from zero at which the needle first penetrates only 0,5 mm into the specimen as the final setting time of the cement, to the nearest 15 min. 5 Preparation of standard mortar 5.1 Principle The properties of fresh mortar made with masonry ceme
44、nt are assessed on standard mortar prepared in accordance with EN 196-1, but with the water content necessary for the standard consistence. The consistence is measured using the plunger apparatus (see 5.2) as the reference method to achieve the required value of penetration. A flow table test (see 5
45、.3) is allowed as an alternative to the plunger test but it is important that the flow table spread equivalent to the required value of penetration is established, using the same type of masonry cement as that which is to be tested. 5.2 Consistence of fresh mortar by plunger apparatus (reference met
46、hod) 5.2.1 Apparatus The mixer and ancillary equipment shall be as described in EN 196-1. The plunger apparatus shown in Figure 1 shall conform to the dimensions specified. The shape of the baseplate (1) shall enable the mortar container (8) to be placed centrally below the plunger (7). The plunger
47、shall have a hemispherical lower end, be resistant to corrosion and not attacked by mortar. The total mass of the rod (6) and plunger (7) shall be (90 2) g. A release mechanism (5) holds the measuring rod in its initial position so that the lower end of the plunger is (100 0,5) mm above the mortar s
48、urface prior to commencing the test (the initial position in 5.2.2). The tamper (see Figure 2) shall consist of a round rod made of impermeable material with sheet metal protection and shall weigh (250 15) g. 5.2.2 Procedure Prepare the mortar according to the procedure described in EN 196-1 except
49、that the water content shall be that determined to give the consistence required. Before the start of each test wipe the plunger with a damp cloth. Fill the container in two layers immediately after completing the mixing procedure. Compact each layer with 10 light strokes of the tamper. EN 413-2:2005 (E) 8 Strike off the excess mortar, within 1 min of completion of mixing, by a gentle sawing action using the straightedge held at an angle of about 45 degrees. Then at a slightly flatter angle smooth the surface in a sing
