Methods of Test for Mortar for Masonry: Bulk Sampling of Mortars and Preparation of Test Mortars
Also Known As:
BS EN 1015-2:1999 is a standard that provides methods for sampling fresh mortar, as well as preparing bulk test samples and test mortars. The standard outlines procedures to ensure representative samples of mortars used in masonry construction are obtained for testing purposes.
The standard covers the sampling process, which involves collecting mortar samples from various points in the mixing vessel or directly from the construction site. The aim is to obtain a representative sample that accurately reflects the composition and properties of the mortar being used.
Additionally, the standard provides guidelines for preparing bulk test samples, which involve blending several individual mortar samples together. This process ensures a homogenous mixture that accounts for any potential variations within the mortar.
Furthermore, BS EN 1015-2:1999 details procedures for producing test mortars from dry constituents and water. The standard provides specific ratios and mixing methods to obtain consistent and reproducible test mortars for further analysis and evaluation.
