BS EN 12274-3:2018 PDF Download

BS EN 12274-3:2018 is a standard that provides a test method for evaluating the consistency of slurry surfacing mixtures. It specifically focuses on Slurry Seals with a maximum aggregate size of 4mm. The purpose of this test is to determine the amount of water needed to achieve a stable and workable mixture. It can also be used as a mix design aid, helping to identify the appropriate water content for the desired consistency.

The standard notes that it may be necessary to repeat the test using different percentages of water in order to achieve the correct consistency. This indicates the importance of accurately determining the water content for slurry surfacing applications. The scope of the standard extends to slurry surfacings used in various types of trafficked areas, including roads and airfields.
