Testing fresh concrete - Part 1: Sampling and common apparatus
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12350-1 standard focuses on sampling fresh concrete and the use of common apparatus. It provides two procedures for sampling: composite sampling and spot sampling. Composite sampling involves collecting samples from different locations in the concrete mixture, while spot sampling involves taking samples from a specific spot in the mixture.
The standard also emphasizes the importance of remixing the sample before conducting tests on the fresh concrete, or before making test specimens. This requirement is included in relevant standards. It is worth noting that different procedures may be necessary when mixing and sampling concrete in a laboratory setting, and Clause 6, item g) of the standard applies in such cases.
Furthermore, the standard includes a list of common apparatus that are mentioned in two or more standards of the EN 12350 series and EN 12390-2. This ensures consistency and standardization in the equipment used for testing fresh concrete.
