19、EN 12350-5:2009EN 12350-5:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This European standard specifies a method for determining the flow of fresh concrete. It is not applicable to self-compacting concrete, foamed concrete or no-fines concrete, nor to concrete with maximum aggregate size exceeding 63 mm. NOTE The flow test i
20、s sensitive to changes in the consistency of concrete, which correspond to flow values between 340 mm and 600 mm. Beyond these extremes the flow table test may be unsuitable and other methods of determining the consistence should be considered. 2 Normative references The following referenced documen
21、ts 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 document (including any amendments) applies. EN 12350-1, Testing fresh concrete Part 1: Sampling 3 Principle This test determi
22、nes the consistency of fresh concrete by measuring the spread of concrete on a flat plate which is subjected to jolting. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Flow table (see Figure 1) consisting of: a moving table made from a flat plate with a plane area of (700 2) mm (700 2) mm, on which concrete can be placed, hinged
23、to a rigid base onto which it can fall from a fixed height. The flow table top shall have a flat metal surface with a minimum thickness of 2 mm. The metal surface shall not be readily attacked by cement paste or be liable to rusting. The flow table top shall have a mass of (16 0,5) kg and may be det
24、achable using a pin-hinge to allow weighing. The construction of the plate shall be such as to prevent distortion of the upper surface. The table top shall be hinged to the base in such a way that no aggregate can become trapped between the hinged surfaces. The centre of the table shall be scribed w
25、ith a cross, the lines of which run parallel to the edges of the plate and with a central circle (210 1) mm in diameter. At the front corners of the plate two hard and rigid blocks shall be firmly attached to the underside. They should not deform when wet and be non-absorbent. These stops shall tran
26、sfer the load of the table top to the base without distorting the table. The base frame shall be constructed so that this load is transferred directly to the surface on which the apparatus is placed. This minimizes the tendency for the table top to bounce when allowed to fall freely. Foot rests shal
27、l be provided to assist in stabilizing the table in use. The fall height of the table top measured at the centre line of the front edge of the top plate shall be limited to (40 1) mm by means of one or more stops. For lifting the table top, a handle or lifting mechanism shall be provided to ensure t
28、hat the top is lifted without jerking and allowed to fall freely over the entire lifting height. BS EN 12350-5:2009EN 12350-5:2009 (E) 6 4.2 Mould, to form the test specimen, made of metal not readily attacked by cement paste and not thinner than 1,5 mm. The interior of the mould shall be smooth and
29、 free from projections, such as protruding rivets and shall be free from dents. The mould shall be in the form of a hollow frustum of a cone having the following internal dimensions: diameter of base: (200 2) mm; diameter of top: (130 2) mm; height: (200 2) mm. The base and the top shall be open and
30、 parallel to each other and at right angles to the axis of the cone. The mould shall be provided with two handles, on the upper portion, and fixing clamps or foot pieces on the bottom portion to hold it steady (see Figure 2). A mould which can be clamped to the base is acceptable provided the clampi
31、ng arrangement can be fully released without movement of the mould or interference with the slumping concrete. NOTE Magnets can be used to assist in positioning the mould. 4.3 Tamping bar, made of hard material, having a square section of side (40 1) mm and a length of approximately 200 mm. A furthe
32、r 120 mm to 150 mm may be turned to a circular section to form a handle to the bar (see Figure 3) 4.4 Rule or measuring tape, of minimum length 700 mm and having sub-divisions not greater than 5 mm along its entire length. 4.5 Remixing container, flat tray of rigid construction and made from a non-a
33、bsorbent material not readily attacked by cement paste. It shall be of appropriate dimensions such that the concrete can be thoroughly re-mixed, using the square-mouthed shovel. 4.6 Shovel, with square mouth NOTE The square mouth is required to ensure proper mixing of concrete on the remixing contai
34、ner. 4.7 Moist cloth 4.8 Scoop, approximately 100 mm in width. 4.9 Timer or watch, capable of measuring time to 1 s.

The sample shall be re-mixed before carrying
36、out the test using the remixing container and the square mouthed shovel. NOTE Alternative sampling procedures may be given in national standards or provisions in the place of use of concrete. BS EN 12350-5:2009EN 12350-5:2009 (E) 9 6 Procedure Place the flow table on a flat and horizontal surface fr
37、ee from external vibration or shock. Ensure that the hinged top of the table can be lifted to the correct limit of its travel and is then free to fall to the lower stop. Support the table in such a way that when the top of the table fails to the lower stop, there is minimal tendency for the top to b
38、ounce. Clean the table and the mould and dampen immediately prior to testing, but keep free from superfluous moisture. Keep the contact blocks clean. Place the mould centrally on the table top and hold in position by standing on the two foot pieces, or by using magnets. Fill the mould with concrete
39、in two equal layers using the scoop, levelling each layer by tamping lightly ten times with the compacting bar. If necessary add more concrete to the second layer to maintain an excess above the top of the mould. Using the compacting bar, strike off the concrete level with the upper edge of the moul
40、d and clean the area of the table top of any excess concrete. After waiting 30 s from striking off the concrete, raise the mould vertically by the handles, over a period of 1 s to 3 s. Stabilize the flow table by standing on the toe board at the front of the table and slowly raise the table top till
41、 it reaches the upper stop in such a manner that the table top does not impact hard against the upper stop. Allow the table top to fall freely to the lower stop. Repeat this cycle to give a total of 15 drops, each cycle taking between 1 s and 3 s. With the rule, measure the maximum dimension of the
42、concrete spread in the two directions, d1and d2, (see Figure 4), parallel to the table edges and record the two measurements to the nearest 10 mm. Figure 4 Measurement of spread Check the concrete spread for segregation. The cement paste may segregate from the coarse aggregate to give a ring of past
43、e extending several millimetres beyond the coarse aggregate. Report whether segregation has occurred and if so that the test was therefore unsatisfactory. After 15 cycles, if spread is not stabilized, wait until stabilization before measuring and record time between the end of the cycles and measure
44、ment. This time shall be mentioned in report. NOTE The consistence of a concrete mix changes with time, due to hydration of the cement and, possibly, loss of moisture. Tests on different samples should be carried out at a constant time interval after mixing, if strictly comparable results are to be
45、obtained. BS EN 12350-5:2009EN 12350-5:2009 (E) 10 7 Test results The flow value f, is given by the formula:221ddf+= where: d1is the maximum dimension of the concrete spread, parallel to one table edge d2is the maximum dimension of the concrete spread, parallel to the other table edge The result sha
46、ll be reported to the nearest 10 mm. 8 Test report The report shall include: a) identification of the test sample; b) location of performance of test; c) date of test; d) any indication of segregation of the concrete; e) for viscous concrete as defined above, time between the end of the cycles and m
47、easurement (in seconds); f) the flow value, f, to nearest 10 mm; g) any deviation from standard test method; h) declaration by the person technically responsible for the test that it was carried out in accordance with this document, except as noted in item f). The report may include: i) temperature

These apply to flow measurements made on concrete taken from the same sample and when each test result is obtained from a single flow determination. BS EN 12350-5:2009EN 123
