Methods of test for mortar for masonry - Part 4: Determination of consistence of fresh mortar (by plunger penetration)
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1015-4 standard provides guidelines for testing the consistence of fresh mortar used in masonry. The focus of this standard is to determine the plunger penetration value, which is used to evaluate the flowability and workability of the mortar. The method described in this standard is applicable for mortars that contain mineral binders and can be used with both dense and lightweight aggregates.
The standard specifies the equipment and procedure to be followed for conducting the test. It provides guidelines on preparing the test specimens and selecting the appropriate penetration plunger. The plunger is inserted into the mortar and the depth of penetration is measured. The measured value is then used to assess the consistence of the mortar.
