Testing fresh concrete - Part 9: Self-compacting concrete - V-funnel test
Also Known As:
DIN EN 12350-9 is a standard that outlines the testing process for self-compacting concrete using the V-funnel test method. The V-funnel flow time is a parameter used to assess the flowability and workability of the concrete. It is important to note that this test is specifically designed for self-compacting concrete and may not be suitable for other types of concrete.
According to the standard, the test is not applicable when the maximum size of the aggregate exceeds 22.4 mm. This limitation ensures that the test accurately measures the flow time for self-compacting concrete that meets specific size requirements.
The V-funnel test involves pouring the concrete into a funnel-shaped container and measuring the time it takes for the concrete to flow freely through the funnel. The flow time is an important indicator of the viscosity and flowability of the concrete.
By specifying the testing procedure and requirements for self-compacting concrete using the V-funnel test, DIN EN 12350-9 ensures that the concrete meets the necessary standards for flowability and workability in construction applications.
