Methods of Test for Mortar for Masonry - Part 1: Determination of Particle Size Distribution (by Sieve Analysis)
Also Known As:
DIN EN 1015-1 is a standard that focuses on determining the particle size distribution of mortar for masonry. It presents two methods for this purpose: wet sieving and dry sieving. These methods are suitable for both dry mixed and non-hardened wet mixed mortars.
The wet sieving method is primarily used for mortars that contain normal weight aggregates, while the dry sieving method is employed for mortars containing lightweight aggregates. The standard provides detailed guidance on how to conduct each method effectively.
By measuring the particle size distribution of the mortar, this standard allows for a better understanding of its properties and performance. This information is crucial for ensuring the quality and consistency of mortars used in masonry construction.
