Methods of Test for Mortar for Masonry: Determination of Consistence of Fresh Mortar (by Flow Table)
Also Known As:
The BS EN 1015-3:1999 standard provides guidelines for determining the consistency of fresh mortar using a flow table.
The standard involves placing a test sample of mortar on a flow table and measuring its diameter. The flow table is then raised and allowed to fall a specific number of times, resulting in vertical impacts on the mortar sample. The consistency of the mortar is determined by measuring the diameter of the flow spread after a specified number of impacts.
This standard is important in the construction industry as it ensures that the consistency of fresh mortar is tested and evaluated consistently. By having a standardized method of measuring and determining the mortar's consistency, construction professionals can have confidence in the quality and workability of the mortar used in masonry projects.
