Testing hardened concrete - Part 4: Compressive strength - Specification for testing machines
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12390-4 standard focuses on the testing of hardened concrete, specifically the measurement of its compressive strength. The standard outlines the specifications that testing machines should adhere to when conducting compression tests on concrete samples.
The standard emphasizes the importance of accurately measuring the compressive strength of concrete, as it is a crucial parameter in assessing the quality and performance of concrete structures. To ensure reliable and consistent results, the standard sets forth requirements for the performance and capabilities of testing machines used for compression tests.
The standard highlights the need for testing machines to have a high level of precision, accuracy, and stability. It specifies various technical parameters, such as the maximum capacity of the machine, the permissible errors, and the stiffness of the loading system. These requirements aim to ensure that the testing machines can apply a uniform and controlled load on the concrete sample, allowing for accurate measurement of the compressive strength.
