This European Standard shall be given the stat
19、us of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2005. This European Standard supersedes EN 413-2:1994. EN 413 Masonry cement consists of the follow
20、ing Parts. Part 1: Composition, specifications and conformity criteria Part 2: Test methods The main differences between this European Standard and EN 413-2:1994 are: Exclusion of workability (cohesivity). Introduction of an optional setting time procedure using the specimen storage conditions (in a
21、ir) that were previously specified in EN 196-3:1994. This is necessary because the (under water) method specified in EN 196-3:2005, is not suitable for some masonry cements which have low clinker contents. Diameter of filter paper used in the water retention test increased from 100 mm to the more re
22、adily available 110 mm size. Specification introduced for non-woven tissue to be used in the water absorption test. Weighing precision in water content test increased from 1 g to 0,1 g. Improved description of procedure for filling of air content test apparatus. Introduction of precision statements
23、for determination of mortar standard consistency, water retention and air content. Clarification of requirements for retesting if mortar flow does not lie within the required range. Clarification of requirements for retesting if pairs of results for water retention or air content differ by more than
24、 twice the standard deviation of repeatability. Clarification of calibration procedures for flow table and air content apparatus. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria,
25、 Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

It gives the tests on fresh mortar for consistence, water retention and air content. In the event of a dispute, only the reference
29、methods are used. 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 196-1

32、 at not less than 50 %. 3.2 Manufacturing tolerances for test equipment 3.2.1 Dimensions Figures indicating the specified requirements for apparatus used in the tests described in this document shall include essential dimensions for which manufacturing tolerances are given. Unless otherwise stated,
33、tolerance class m according to EN 22768-1 should be applied. NOTE All other dimensions are given for guidance. 3.2.2 Mass Specified masses shall have manufacturing tolerances within 1 % of the mass unless otherwise stated. 3.3 Tolerances for test equipment in use Tolerances applying to apparatus, wh

Where the test is not part of a series subject to statistical control, two tests shall be perfo
36、rmed to determine each property. 4 Determination of setting time 4.1 General The setting time is determined by observing the penetration of a needle into a cement paste of standard consistence until it reaches a specified value. The setting time is determined in accordance with either method A (4.2)
37、 or method B (4.3). Method B is the reference method. 4.2 Method A The setting time is determined in accordance with EN 196-3. NOTE Experience has shown that the method specified in EN 196-3, in which the specimens are tested under water, is not suitable for some masonry cements which have low clink
38、er contents. 4.3 Method B 4.3.1 Test principle The equipment used and the specimen preparation procedures are as described in EN 196-3 but with the additional requirement for a room or a humidity cabinet of adequate size and maintained at (20 1) C and not less than 90 % relative humidity. 4.3.2 Init
39、ial setting time procedure Calibrate the Vicat apparatus with the needle, attached in advance of the test, by lowering the needle to rest on the base-plate to be used and adjusting the pointer to read zero on the scale. Raise the needle to the stand-by position. Fill a Vicat mould in accordance with
40、 5.2.2 of EN 196-3:2005 with paste of standard consistence mixed in accordance with 5.2.1 of EN 196-3:2005. Place the filled mould and base-plate in the room or humidity cabinet and after a suitable time, position the mould, base-plate and container under the needle of the Vicat apparatus. Lower the
41、 needle gently until it is in contact with the paste. Pause in that position for between 1 s and 2 s in order to avoid initial velocity or forced acceleration of the moving parts. Then release the moving parts quickly and allow the needle to penetrate vertically into the paste. Read the scale when p
42、enetration has ceased, or 30 s after the release of the needle, whichever is the earlier. Record the scale reading, which indicates the distance between the end of the needle and the base-plate, together with the time from zero. Repeat the penetration on the same specimen at conveniently spaced posi
43、tions, not less than 8 mm from the rim of the mould or 5mm from each other and at least 10 mm from the last penetration position, at conveniently spaced intervals of time, e.g. at 10 min intervals. Between penetrations keep the specimen in a room or humidity cabinet. Clean the Vicat needle immediate
44、ly after each penetration. Retain the specimen if determination of the final setting time is to be made.

45、 Report initial setting time Report the time measured from zero at which the distance between the needle and the base-plate is (6 3) mm as the initial setting time of the cement to the nearest 5 min. If the initial setting time exceeds 6h determine the final setting time. 4.3.4 Final setting time pr
46、ocedure Invert the filled mould and follow the procedure described in 6.3 of EN 196-3:2005 with the specimen held in the room or humidity cabinet at controlled humidity rather than under water. 4.3.5 Report final setting time Report the time measured from zero at which the needle first penetrates on
47、ly 0,5 mm into the specimen as the final setting time of the cement, to the nearest 15 min. 5 Preparation of standard mortar 5.1 Principle The properties of fresh mortar made with masonry cement are assessed on standard mortar prepared in accordance with EN 196-1, but with the water content necessar
48、y for the standard consistence. The consistence is measured using the plunger apparatus (see 5.2) as the reference method to achieve the required value of penetration. A flow table test (see 5.3) is allowed as an alternative to the plunger test but it is important that the flow table spread equivale
49、nt to the required value of penetration is established, using the same type of masonry cement as that which is to be tested. 5.2 Consistence of fresh mortar by plunger apparatus (reference method) 5.2.1 Apparatus The mixer and ancillary equipment shall be as described in EN 196-1. The plunger apparatu
