BS EN 413-2:2016 EN 413-2:2016 (E) 5 Introduction This European Standard includes additional test methods to those described in the EN 196 series, Methods of testing cement, that enable the
22、performance of masonry cement to be assessed when used in mortar for bedding masonry units and for rendering and plastering. BS EN 413-2:2016EN 413-2:2016 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard describes reference and alternative test methods to be used when testing masonry cements to assess their con
23、formity to EN 413-1. It gives the tests on fresh mortar for consistence, water retention and air content. In the event of a dispute, only the reference methods are used. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispens
24、able for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

26、temperature is maintained at (20 2) C and the relative humidity 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 whic
27、h manufacturing tolerances are given. Unless otherwise stated, tolerance class m according to EN 22768-1 should be applied. NOTE 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
28、 test equipment in use Tolerances applying to apparatus, which has been subjected to wear in use shall not exceed twice the corresponding manufacturing tolerance unless alternative requirements are specified. BS EN 413-2:2016 EN 413-2:2016 (E) 7 3.4 Number of tests Where the test is one of a series
29、subject to statistical control, determination of each property by a single test shall be the minimum required. Where the test is not part of a series subject to statistical control, two tests shall be performed to determine each property. 4 Determination of setting time 4.1 General The setting time
30、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) or method B (4.3). Method B is the reference method. 4.2 Method A The setting time is determi
31、ned in accordance with EN 196-3. NOTE Experience has shown that the method specified in EN 1963, in which the specimens are tested under water, is not suitable for some masonry cements which have low clinker contents. 4.3 Method B 4.3.1 Test principle The equipment used and the specimen preparation
32、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 Initial setting time procedure Calibrate the Vicat apparatus with the needle, attached in advance o
33、f 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 EN 196-3:2005+A1:2008, 5.2.2 with paste of standard consistence mixed in accordance with EN 19
34、6-3:2005+A1:2008, 5.2.1 Place the filled mould and base-plate in the room or humidity cabinet and after a suitable time, position the mould and base-plate under the needle of the Vicat apparatus. Lower the needle gently until it is in contact with the paste. Pause in that position for between 1 s an
35、d 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 penetration has ceased, or 30 s after the release of the needle, whichever is the earlier. Recor
36、d 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 positions, not less than 8 mm from the rim of the mould or 5mm from each other and at least 10 mm f
37、rom 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 immediately after each penetration. Retain the specimen if determination of the final setting time is to
38、 be made. BS EN 413-2:2016EN 413-2:2016 (E) 8 4.3.3 Report initial setting time Report the elapsed time measured from zero to the time 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 e
39、xceeds 6h determine the final setting time. 4.3.4 Final setting time procedure Invert the filled mould and follow the procedure described in EN 196-3:2005+A1:2008, 6.3 with the specimen held in the room or humidity cabinet at controlled humidity rather than under water. 4.3.5 Report final setting ti
40、me Report the elapsed time measured from zero to that at which the needle first penetrates only 0,5 mm into the specimen as the final setting time of the cement, to the nearest 15 min. 4.3.6 Repeatability and reproducibility The standard deviation of repeatability is 4 min for initial setting time a
41、nd 7 min for final setting time. The standard deviation of reproducibility is 20 min for initial setting time and 24 min for final setting time. These precision data take into account uncertainty of measurement. 5 Preparation of standard mortar 5.1 Principle The properties of fresh mortar made with
42、masonry cement are assessed on standard mortar prepared in accordance with EN 196-1, but with the water content necessary 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
43、 test (see 5.3) is allowed as an alternative to the plunger test but it is important that the flow table spread equivalent to the required value of penetration is established, using the same type of masonry cement as that which shall be tested. 5.2 Consistence of fresh mortar by plunger apparatus (r
44、eference method) 5.2.1 Apparatus The mixer and ancillary equipment shall be as described in EN 196-1. The plunger apparatus shown in Figure 1 shall conform to the dimensions specified. The shape of the baseplate (1) shall enable the mortar container (8) to be placed centrally below the plunger (7).
45、The plunger shall have a hemispherical lower end, be resistant to corrosion and not attacked by mortar. The total mass of the rod (6) and plunger (7) shall be (90 2) g. A release mechanism (5) holds the measuring rod in its initial position so that the lower end of the plunger is (100 0,5) mm above
46、the mortar surface prior to commencing the test (the initial position in 5.2.2). The tamper (see Figure 2) shall consist of a round rod made of impermeable material with sheet metal protection and shall weigh (250 15) g. BS EN 413-2:2016 EN 413-2:2016 (E) 9 5.2.2 Procedure Prepare the mortar accordi
47、ng to the procedure described in EN 196-1 except that the water content shall be that determined to give the consistence required. Before the start of each test wipe the plunger with a damp cloth. Fill the container in two layers immediately after completing the mixing procedure. Compact each layer
48、with 10 light strokes of the tamper. Strike off the excess mortar, within 1 min of completion of mixing, by a gentle sawing action using the straightedge held at an angle of about 45 degrees. Then at a slightly flatter angle smooth the surface in a single direction in the reverse direction. After pl
49、acing the container on the base-plate, release the plunger from its initial position (150 15) s after the completion of mixing and determine the value of penetration into the mortar by reading the scale. A value of penetration of (35 3) mm is required for the mortar to be of standard consistence. If the mortar does not achieve the standard consistence required then mix a new batch of mortar using a different quantity of water. Repeat the test on new batches of mortar until the value of penetration of (35 3) mm is obtained in two consecu
