11、by DIN. 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of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2009, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2009. Attention is drawn to the possibility
12、 that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 12350-4:1999. This standard is one of a series concerned with testing concrete. This series EN
13、12350 includes the following parts. Part 1: Sampling; Part 2: Slump-test; Part 3: Vebe test; Part 4: Degree of compactability; Part 5: Flow table test; Part 6: Density; Part 7: Air content - Pressure methods; Part 8: Self-compacting concrete - Slump-flow test (in preparation); Part 9: Self-compactin

CAUTION When cement is mixed with water, alkali
15、 is released. Take precautions to avoid dry cement entering the eyes, mouth and nose whilst mixing concrete. Prevent skin contact with wet cement or concrete by wearing suitable protective clothing. If cement or concrete enters the eye, immediately wash it out thoroughly with clean water and seek me
16、dical treatment without delay. Wash wet concrete off the skin immediately.

17、nto 2400 cycles per minute. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungar

BS EN 12350-4:2009EN 12350-4:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This European standard specifies a method for determining the consi
19、stence of fresh concrete by determining the degree of compactability. It is not applicable to concrete of which the maximum size of aggregate exceeds 63 mm. If the degree of compactability is less than 1,04 or more than 1,46, the concrete has a consistence for which the degree of compactability test
20、 is not suitable. 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. EN 12350
21、-1, Testing fresh concrete Part 1: Sampling 3 Principle Carefully place the fresh concrete in a container using a trowel, avoiding any compaction the concrete. When the container is full, the top surface is struck off level with the top of the container. The concrete is compacted by vibration and th
22、e distance from the surface of the compacted concrete to the upper edge of the container is used to determine the degree of compactability. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Container, made of metal not readily attacked by cement paste. The internal dimensions of the container shall be: base: (200 2) mm (200 2) mm; h
23、eight: (400 2) mm. The thickness of the base and walls shall be at least 1,5 mm. NOTE The bottom of the container may be perforated to facilitate emptying. A suitable plastic plate to cover the bottom has then to be placed inside the container. 4.2 Trowel, with a flat blade (see Figure 1). BS EN 123
24、50-4:2009EN 12350-4:2009 (E) 6 Dimensions in millimetres Figure 1 Trowel 4.3 Means of compacting the concrete, which shall be one of the following: internal vibrator: with a minimum frequency of approximately 120 Hz (7 200 cycles per minute). The diameter of the internal vibrator shall not exceed on
25、e-quarter of the smallest dimension of the container; vibrating table: with a minimum frequency of approximately 40 Hz (2 400 cycles per minute). The use of a vibrating table shall be the reference method. 4.4 Remixing container, flat tray of rigid construction and made from a non-absorbent material
26、 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. 4.5 Shovel, with square mouth. NOTE The square mouth is required to ensure proper mixing of material on the remixing container. BS EN 12350

Th
28、e sample shall be re-mixed before carrying out the test. NOTE Alternative sampling procedures may be given in national standards or provisions in the place of use of concrete. 6 Procedure Clean the container and moisten the inner surfaces using a damp cloth. Fill the container, without tamping it, b
29、y tilting the trowel sideways from each of all four upper edges of the container in turn. When the container is filled, remove all concrete above the upper edges, using the straight edged scraper with a sawing action, in such a way as to avoid any compacting effect. Compact the concrete by means of
30、a vibrating table or by the use of an internal vibrator, until no further reduction in volume is determinable. During compaction avoid loss of concrete through splashing, or leakage. NOTE 1 Great care is recommended if loss of entrained air is to be avoided when using an internal vibrator. After com
31、paction, determine the value of s (see Figure 2), i.e.: the mean value of the distance between the surface of the compacted concrete and the upper edge of the container to the nearest millimetre. Obtain this value by measuring at the middle of each side of the container. NOTE 2 The consistence of a
32、concrete mix changes with time, due to hydration of the cement and, possibly, loss of moisture. Tests on different samples should, therefore, be carded out at a constant time interval after mixing, if strictly comparable results are to be obtained. 7 Expression of results The degree of compactabilit
33、y c is given by the formula: shhc= where h is the internal height of the container, in millimetres; s is the mean value, to the nearest millimetre, of the four distances from the surface of the compacted concrete to the upper edges of the container. The result shall be reported to the nearest 0.01.
