Aggregates for Concrete
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12620 standard is a European standard that defines the properties and requirements for aggregates used in concrete. This standard encompasses various types of aggregates, including those made from natural, manufactured, or recycled materials, as well as mixtures of these aggregates.
One key aspect of this standard is the specification for the particle density of aggregates. It states that the aggregates used in concrete must have an oven dried particle density greater than 2,00 Mg/m3 (2000 kg/m3). This requirement applies to all types of concrete, including those conforming to the EN 206-1 standard, as well as concrete used in roads, pavements, and precast concrete products.
Furthermore, the standard emphasizes the importance of implementing a quality control system in the production of aggregates. This quality control system should be employed in factory production control to ensure that the aggregates meet the requirements outlined in the DIN EN 12620 standard. Additionally, the standard provides guidelines for evaluating the conformity of the aggregates to this European standard.
