Standard EN Sample
Admixtures for Concrete, Mortar and Grout - Test Methods - Determination of the Alkali Content of Admixtures
Also Known As:
The standard BS EN 480-12:2005 provides a guideline for determining the alkali (sodium and potassium) content present in admixtures used in concrete, mortar, and grout. This method is aligned with the EN 934 series of standards.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the alkali content in the admixtures meets the specified requirements. Admixtures are substances added to concrete, mortar, or grout to modify or improve their properties, and it is crucial to assess the alkali content to ensure the admixture's effectiveness and compatibility with the intended application.
The standard defines the testing method for determining the alkali content in admixtures, thereby establishing a uniform and reliable approach for assessment. By adhering to this standard, manufacturers and users of admixtures can ensure a consistent quality of products and optimal performance in concrete, mortar, and grout applications.
