Testing Hardened Concrete: Shape, Dimensions, and Other Requirements for Specimens and Moulds
Also Known As:
BS EN 12390-1:2012 is a standard that sets out the requirements for testing hardened concrete. It specifically focuses on the shape, dimensions, and tolerances of cast concrete test specimens, including cubes, cylinders, and prisms, as well as the molds used to produce these specimens.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure consistency and accuracy in the testing of concrete strength and other properties. The specified tolerances are based on the requirements for strength testing but can also be applicable to tests measuring other properties.
By establishing the shape, dimensions, and tolerances of the test specimens and molds, this standard helps to ensure uniformity and reliability in concrete testing. This, in turn, allows for accurate and consistent evaluation of concrete properties, aiding in the assessment of its quality and suitability for its intended use.
