EN 480-2:2006 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard describes a method for determining setting time of mortar with and without admixtures. It is an adaptation of the setting time test described in EN 196-3. This European Sta
20、ndard describes the reference method; it allows the use of alternative apparatus as indicated in notes provided that they do not affect the results. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the editio
21、n cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

23、time is determined by observing the penetration of a needle into a reference mortar until it reaches a specified value. The reference mortar with admixture (test mix) shall have the same consistence as the reference mortar without admixture (control mix) that conforms to EN 480-1. For this purpose t
24、he mixing water required shall be determined in advance according to EN 413-2. 4 General requirements for testing 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 no less than 65 %. After preparation and
25、 between tests, the specimen shall be stored in a room or cabinet having a relative humidity of no less than 90 % and a temperature of (5 1) C or (20 2) C as appropriate to the test requirements. 4.2 Apparatus a) balance, accurate to 1 g; b) graduated cylinder or burette, accurate to 1 % of the volu
26、me measured; c) mixer, complying with EN 196-1. EN 480-2:2006 (E) 6 4.3 Materials Mortar shall be prepared by using the standard sand described in EN 196-1. Water according to EN 1008 shall be used as mixing water2). Cement, sand, water, admixture and apparatus used to make the specimens shall be st
27、ored at a temperature selected for the test (5 1) C or (20 2) C for at least 12 h before the mortar is prepared. 5 Setting time test 5.1 Apparatus Vicat apparatus as shown in Figure 1 a) with a needle as shown in Figure 1 b). The needle (Figure 1 b) shall be of non-corrodible metal with an effective
28、 height of (50 1) mm and a diameter of (1,13 0,05) mm. To prevent the needle of the Vicat apparatus striking the base plate of the mould, a stopping device (Figure 1 c) is recommended. A suitable device fixed to the central plunger of the apparatus such that the needle can be stopped at approximatel
29、y 2 mm from the bottom of the mould is shown in Figure 1 a). This device takes the form of a split clamp which can be fixed in any position to suit the apparatus, and when loosened should not impart any friction to the plunger. The total mass of the moving parts, including the stopping device, shall
30、 be (1 000 2) g. Their movement shall be truly vertical and without appreciable friction, and their axes shall coincide with that of the needle. NOTE 1 Devices for automatic determination of the setting time are commercially available and may be used provided that they can be shown to give the same
31、test results to those obtained with the specified apparatus and procedure.

It shal
33、l be of truncated conical form (40,0 0,2) mm deep and shall have internal diameters at top and bottom of (70 5) mm and (80 5) mm respectively. It shall be adequately rigid and shall be provided with a plane glass or hard rubber base plate larger than the mould and at least 2,5 mm thick. NOTE 2 Mould
34、s may be of metal or plastics and of cylindrical shape provided that they are of the specified depth and that they can be shown to give the same test results as the specified hard rubber mould of truncated conical form. 5.2 Preparation of the mortar The mortar shall be prepared in accordance with EN
35、 480-1. 5.3 Filling the mould Place the mortar in the mould (previously placed on a flat, lightly greased base plate) immediately after mixing. Seal the joint between the mould and the base plate to prevent bleeding. Fill the mould completely without undue segregation or vibration. Remove the excess
36、 mortar by a careful back and forth movement with a tool having a straight edge so as to leave the mortar filling the mould with its top surface as flat as possible. Transfer this specimen immediately to the storage conditions as described in 4.1. 5.4 Test procedure 5.4.1 Determination of initial se
37、tting time First, set the Vicat apparatus by lowering the needle onto the base plate to adjust the zero reference of the scale. Keep the filled mould and its base plate in the room or humidity cabinet specified in 4.1 and after a suitable period of time align them beneath the needle of the Vicat app
38、aratus. Lower the needle carefully until it comes into contact with the mortar. Wait for 1 to 2 s in this position so as to avoid any initial velocity or forced acceleration of the plunger. Then release the plunger rapidly. The needle should penetrate the mortar vertically. Read the scale when penet
39、ration is complete or 30 s after the plunger has been released whichever of these two time limits is the earlier. Record the reading, which indicates the distance between the end of the needle and the base plate together with the time, which has elapsed since completion of mixing. Repeat the penetra
40、tion test on the same specimen at suitably spaced positions more than 10 mm from the edge of the mould or each other and at suitable time intervals, for example at intervals of 10 min. Keep the specimen in a room or humidity cabinet in accordance with 4.1 between penetration tests. If using an autom
41、atic setting time meter determine the initial setting time by drawing the characteristic line. The time measured from completion of mixing until the time at which the distance between the needle and the base plate is 4,0 mm is the initial setting time for the mortar. For manual and automatic methods
42、 select time intervals between penetrations so that the initial setting time can be determined within ca. 5 % of the measured value. Results may be interpolated to determine the exact initial setting time. NOTE The presence of sand will cause a greater spread in the penetration depth results than wh
43、en using cement paste. 5.4.2 Determination of final setting time Turn over the filled mould used in 5.4.1 onto the base plate of the Vicat apparatus (see figure 1b) so that final setting time tests can be carried out on the face of the specimen, which was originally in contact with the base plate. E
44、N 480-2:2006 (E) 9 If using an automatic setting time meter continue taking measurements without turning the mould over, taking care to prevent the needle from penetrating the marks of previous measurements. The setting time measured from completion of mixing until the time after which the needle no
45、 longer penetrates 2,5 mm into the specimen is the final setting time for the mortar. This is determined as described in 5.4.1. 5.4.3 Manual Vicat Where a manual Vicat is being used for testing, the setting time may be interpolated to cover overnight periods by giving setting between time limits e.g
46、. x hours, y hours. This interpolative method is not permitted where comparative results are required or where the expected setting time is less than 8 h. 6 Test report The following items shall be reported: type of test equipment; temperature to the nearest 1 C at which the test is carried out; ini
47、tial and final setting times expressed in minutes.
