Precast Concrete Products - Test Method for Glass-Fibre Reinforced Cement - Part 1: Measuring the Consistency of the Matrix; "Slump Test" Method
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1170-1 standard outlines a test procedure for evaluating the consistency of the matrix of glass-fibre reinforced cement in precast concrete products. The test method used is known as the "Slump test."
The purpose of this standard is to assess the quality of mixing and ensure that the water to cement ratio is within acceptable limits. This is important because the consistency of the matrix influences the suitability of the concrete product for pumping and compaction.
The standard provides specific guidelines and instructions for conducting the Slump test to measure the consistency of the matrix. It likely includes information on preparing the test sample, placing it in a slump cone, applying a standardized method for removing the cone, and finally measuring the vertical settlement of the concrete material as an indication of its consistency.
