Standard EN Sample
Admixtures for Concrete, Mortar and Grout - Test Methods - Determination of the Conventional Dry Material Content
Also Known As:
BS EN 480-8:2012 is a standard that focuses on admixtures used in concrete, mortar, and grout. The specific objective of this standard is to provide a test method for determining the conventional dry material content of these admixtures. The conventional dry material content is an important parameter as it directly influences the dosage and effectiveness of the admixture.
The standard outlines the procedure for conducting the test, including the necessary equipment and materials. It specifies the sample preparation, which involves measuring and weighing the admixture, followed by drying it to determine the dry material content. The standard also provides guidance on conducting the test in a laboratory environment to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Complying with BS EN 480-8:2012 provides manufacturers, users, and regulators with a standardized method for evaluating the conventional dry material content of admixtures.
