Testing hardened concrete - Part 7: Density of hardened concrete
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12390-7 standard provides guidelines for determining the density of hardened concrete. This standard is applicable to all types of concrete, including lightweight, normal-weight, and heavy-weight concrete.
The standard outlines three different states of hardened concrete, which are as follows: as-received, water-saturated, and oven-dried. The density of each state is determined by measuring the mass and volume of the concrete specimen.
By using the prescribed methodology, the density of hardened concrete can be calculated accurately, providing valuable information for quality control and assessment of the concrete's structural performance. This standard ensures consistency and reliability in measuring the density of hardened concrete, facilitating comparisons between different concrete mixes and construction projects.
