20、1015-9:1999 1 Scope This European Standard specifies methods for determining the workable life and correction time of freshly mixed mortars (in the following referred to as fresh mortars). Method A is a method for the determination of the workable life of general purpose masonry or rendering mortars
21、, including those containing mineral binders and both dense and lightweight aggregates. Methods B and C are methods for the determination of the workable life and correction time for thin-layer mortars. 2 Normative references Part 1: Rendering and plastering mortar with inorganic binding agents.

EN 1015-3:1998, Methods of test for mortar for masonry Part 3: Determination of consistence of fresh mortar (by flow table). 3 Principle The workable life of a sam
23、ple of fresh mortar, initially brought to a defined flow value, is measured by the time in minutes at which it reaches a defined limit of stiffness or workability during a defined type test. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Apparatus for Method A Workable life of general purpose mortar 4.1.1 A weighing instrument, p
24、referably with a tare device, reading to at least 15 kg with graduations of not greater than 100 g. 4.1.2 Disposable, rigid and open topped moulds or containers, with an internal diameter of not less than 75 mm and 50 mm to 100 mm high. 4.1.3 A stop clock. 4.1.4 A penetration rod, consisting of a ro
25、und brass rod, approximately 5 mm in diameter and with a total length of approximately 65 mm, its lower end enlarged to a diameter of 6,175 mm 0,025 mm over a length of 25 mm 0,25 mm and with the penetrating face flat at right angles to the length of the rod. 4.1.5 A loosely fitting brass washer, ap
26、proximately 20 mm in external diameter, rests on the stop formed at the change in diameter of the rod. The rod is held vertically in a device such as a lever type drill stand that enables it to be lowered vertically in a controlled and steady manner over a distance of at least 40 mm. (See Figure 1.)

30、ver is the greater, and shall be obtained either by reduction of the bulk test sample (see EN 1015-2) using a sample divider or by quartering or by preparation from dry constituents and water in the laboratory. The flow value of the mortar in the bulk test sample shall be determined in accordance wi
31、th EN 1015-3 and reported. Laboratory mixed samples shall, before testing, be brought to a defined flow value as specified in EN 1015-2. Ready to use mortars (factory-made wet mortars which are retarded), and pre-batched air-lime/sand wet mortars when not gauged with hydraulic binders, shall be test
32、ed within their specified workable life.!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. “ EN 771

Beford testing, the
34、 batch shall be gently stirred by hand using a trowel or palette knife for 5 s to 10 s to counteract any false setting etc., but without any additional mixing of the batch. Any deviation from the mixing procedure shall be noted. Two test samples shall be tested. 6 Method A Workable life of general p
35、urpose mortar 6.1 General The workable life of the fresh mortar is measured by the time in minutes at which it reaches a defined limit of resistance to penetration of a standard rod forced into it. 6.2 Procedure Fill sufficient moulds with test mortar and any control mix to provide adequate area of
36、surface for the required number of penetrations of the rod. Fill each mould in about 10 increments, minimizing excess mortar to be struck off, and tapping the mould on the bench four times after each increment. Strike off the surface plane and level with the top of the mould using a palette knife. S
37、tore the filled moulds in air at a temperature of 208C 28C and a relative humidity of not less than 95 %, e.g. in a sealed polyethylene bag. Place a mould on the scale under the penetration rod so that the portion of the sample surface immediately beneath the rod is at least 20 mm from the rim of th
38、e mould or from the position of any previous penetrations. Adjust the tare device or record the mass of the filled mould. By means of the lever on the drill stand, lower the penetration rod slowly into the sample until the loose washer just touches the surface (see Figure 1). Note the reading of the
39、 scale in kilograms. Correct this reading, if necessary, for the mass of the filled mould, and then divide it by 3 to express the resistance to penetration in N/mm 2 . For a non-retarded mortar measure the resistance to penetration at intervals of 15 min, starting at 30 min before the declared worka
40、ble life, until it exceeds the prescribed limit of resistance (see 6.3). For retarded mortars, check the penetration intermittently, at convenient times, until the resistance starts to increase, then proceed as described above. 6.3 Calculation and expression of results. Measure the workable life fro
41、m the completion of either the addition of water to the dry constituents, or the addition of cement or gypsum to a wet mix of lime and/or sand as follows. Determine the time in minutes, rounded to the nearest minute, to give the resistance to penetration of 0,5 N/mm 2 by interpolation of the results
42、 immediately below and above this figure. Calculate the mean value from the individual values of each mortar test sample, all values rounded to the nearest minute. The mean value is the workable life of the mortar. 7 Method B Workable life of thin-layer mortar 7.1 General The workable life is measur
43、ed by the time in minutes at which the flow value of the mortar differs by 30 mm from the initial flow value determined 10 min after mixing the batch. 7.2 Procedure Determine the flow value, in accordance with clause 6 of EN 1015-3:1998 at intervals of 15 min. During the test period keep the mortar
44、in a bucket, covered with a moist cloth, and stored in air at a temperature of 208C 28C. Before each test the mortar mix may be given an additional mixing by hand. 7.3 Calculation and expression of results Determine the time in minutes, rounded to the nearest minute and measured from the time of com
45、pletion of the mixing, that the flow value of the mortar differs by 30 mm from the initial flow value determined 10 min after mixing, by interpolation of the results immediately below and above this figure. Calculate the mean value from the individual values of each mortar test sample, all values ro
46、unded to the nearest minute. The mean value is the workable life of the mortar. 8 Method C Correction time of thin-layer mortar 8.1 Principle The correction time is measured by the time in minutes at which 50 % of the contact surface of a cube, placed on a layer of mortar applied on the specified ma
47、sonry unit substrate, and then removed, is covered with adhering mortar. The method is not applicable where perforated masonry units are being used. 8.2 Procedure Cut cubes with dimensions 50 mm3 50 mm3 50 mm from the specified masonry units ensuring that the face to be used as the contact face is o
48、ne from the original bed face. Before performing the test, dry the prescribed masonry units and cubes in an oven at the temperature shown in Table 1.
