BS EN 12390-7:2009EN 12390-7:2009 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for determining the
17、 density of hardened concrete. It is applicable to lightweight, normal-weight and heavy-weight concrete. It differentiates between hardened concrete in the following states: 1) as-received; 2) water saturated; 3) oven-dried. The mass and volume of the specimen of hardened concrete are determined and
18、 the density calculated. 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 document (including any amendments) applies. E
19、N 12390-1, Testing hardened concrete Part 1: Shape, dimensions and other requirements for test specimens and moulds 3 Apparatus 3.1 Callipers and rules, capable of determining the dimensions of a specimen to within 0,5 % 3.2 Balance, equipped with a stirrup for weighing the specimen in both air and
20、water to an accuracy of 0,1 % of the mass 3.3 Water tank, fitted with a device to maintain the water at a constant level and of sufficient size to allow the specimen on the stirrup to be fully immersed to a constant depth NOTE If the reading of the balance is affected to within the accuracy required
21、 due to the displacement of water when immersing the specimen, then the tank should be fitted with a device to maintain the water at a constant level. The tank should be of sufficient size to allow the specimen to be fully immersed. 3.4 Ventilated oven, in which the temperature is capable of being c
22、ontrolled at (105 5) C. NOTE The apparatus required depends upon the method selected for determining the volume of the specimen. 4 Test specimens The minimum volume of a specimen shall be 0,785 l. If the nominal maximum aggregate size of specimens cast in moulds exceeds 25 mm, the minimum volume sha
23、ll be not less than 50D, where D is the nominal maximum size of the coarse aggregate. BS EN 12390-7:2009EN 12390-7:2009 (E) 5 Normally, the entire specimen as received shall be used for the determination. If the shape or size of a specimen is such that it is not possible to use all of it, a smaller
24、specimen may be broken or sawn from the original. Capped specimens shall not be used. 5 Procedures 5.1 General 5.1.1 Determination of mass This European Standard recognizes three conditions under which the mass of a specimen can be determined: a) as-received; b) water saturated; c) oven-dried. 5.1.2
25、 Determination of volume This European Standard recognizes three methods for determining the volume of the specimen: a) by water displacement (reference method); b) by calculation using actual measurements; c) for cubes, by calculation, using checked, designated dimensions. NOTE 1 The precision of t
26、he method depends on the method selected for measuring the volume of the specimen. Measurement of volume by the water-displacement method is the most precise, followed by calculation using measurement of actual dimensions and lastly calculation using checked, designated dimensions. NOTE 2 The limita
27、tion to cubes in 5.1.2 c) of using designated dimensions in calculation of volume is due to the greater tolerance on length, according to EN 12390-1, of other specimen shapes. 5.2 Mass of as-received specimen Weigh the as-received specimen mr, to an accuracy of 0,01 % of the mass of the specimen. Re
28、cord the value indicated in kg. 5.3 Mass of water saturated specimen Immerse the specimen in water at (20 2) C until the mass changes by less than 0,2 % in 24 h, wiping the surplus water from the surface before each weighing. Record the value of the saturated mass ms, in kg. NOTE Specimens of concre
29、te cured in water for at least 72 h prior to testing, may be assumed to be saturated to a constant mass. 5.4 Mass of oven-dried specimen Dry the specimen in a ventilated oven at (105 5) C until the mass changes by less than 0,2 % in 24 h. Before each weighing, cool the specimen to near room temperat
30、ure in a dry airtight vessel or desiccator. Record the value of the oven-dried mass moas indicated, in kg. BS EN 12390-7:2009EN 12390-7:2009 (E) 6 5.5 Volume obtained by water displacement 5.5.1 General Ensure that the specimen is in a saturated condition. NOTE 1 This method is suitable for specimen
31、s of all shapes and is the only method suitable for specimens of irregular shape. NOTE 2 This method is normally unsuitable for specimens of no-fines concrete, lightweight aggregate concrete with large pores, or specimens whose moisture content must not be altered. However, the application of a thin
32、 water impermeable layer can make this method practicable. 5.5.2 Mass in water Determine the mass of the specimen in water according to the following procedure: Raise the water tank until the stirrup, without a specimen, is immersed in the water tank and does not touch the bottom of the tank. Record
33、 the apparent mass of the stirrup mst, in kg. NOTE 1 The apparent mass of the stirrup may alternatively be allowed for using a zero setting facility on the balance (tareing). Place the specimen in the stirrup and raise the water tank until the specimen is submerged and the water level on the stirrup
34、 is the same as it was without the specimen. NOTE 2 Trapping of air bubbles on the sides of the specimen and on the stirrup should be avoided. Record the apparent mass (mst+ mw), in kg, of the immersed specimen and stirrup. 5.5.3 Mass in air Determine the mass of the specimen in air according to the
35、 following procedure: Remove the specimen from the stirrup and wipe the surplus water from the surfaces, using a damp cloth. Place the specimen on the balance and record the mass of the specimen in air main kg. 5.5.4 Calculate the volume of the specimen Calculate the volume of the specimen, using th
36、e formula: astwstw( ) mmmmV+=(1) where: V is the volume of the specimen, in m; mais the mass of the specimen in air, in kg; mstis the apparent mass of the immersed stirrup, in kg; mwis the apparent mass of the immersed specimen, in kg; wis the density of water, at 20C, taken as 998 kg/m.

40、 density using the values determined for the mass of specimen and its volume, using the formula: VmD = (2) where: D is the density related to the condition of the specimen and the method of determining the volume, in kg/m; m is the mass of the specimen as determined in 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4 at the time of
41、 test, in kg; V is the volume determined by the particular method, in m. Report the condition of the specimen at the time of test and the method used for determining the volume of the specimen as part of the test result. Express the result of the density determination to the nearest 10 kg/m. 7 Test

These apply to density measurements in the range 2 300 kg/m3to 2 400 kg/m3on cubes made from the same sample of concrete and when each test result is obtained fro

The concretes were made using an ordinary Portland cement, Thames Valley sand, and Thames Valley 10 mm and 20 mm coarse aggregates. NOTE 2
48、 The difference between two test results from the same sample by one operator using the same apparatus within the shortest feasible time interval will exceed the repeatability value r on average not more than once in 20 cases in the normal and correct operation of the method. NOTE 3 Test results on
49、the same sample obtained within the shortest feasible time interval by two operators each using their own apparatus will differ by the reproducibility value R on average not more than once in 20 cases in the normal and correct operation of the method.
