Admixtures for Concrete, Mortar and Grout - Test Methods - Part 8: Determination of the Conventional Dry Material Content
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 480-8 standard is a part of the series on admixtures for concrete, mortar, and grout. It specifically focuses on the test methods for determining the conventional dry material content of an admixture.
According to the standard, the conventional dry material content refers to the amount of solid materials present in an admixture. This is an important parameter to measure as it affects the performance and dosage of the admixture in construction applications.
The standard provides a detailed procedure for carrying out the determination of the conventional dry material content. It outlines the equipment required, such as analytical balances and drying ovens, as well as the sample preparation and testing steps. The method involves drying a known weight of the admixture sample in an oven to remove any moisture content, and then weighing the dried material to calculate the conventional dry material content.
