Precast Concrete Products - Test Method for Glass-Fibre Reinforced Cement - Part 2: Measuring the Fibre Content in Fresh GRC - "Wash Out Test"
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1170-2 standard describes the "Wash Out Test" method for measuring the fibre content in fresh GRC (glass-fibre reinforced cement) products. The purpose of this test is to verify the specified value of the fibre proportion and ensure the uniform distribution of fibres in the finished products. It also helps in monitoring the consumption of fibres during the production process.
The test involves preparing a representative sample of the fresh GRC product and subjecting it to a washing procedure to remove the cementitious matrix. This process leaves behind the glass fibres, which can then be dried and weighed to determine their mass. By comparing the mass of the fibres to the total mass of the sample, the fibre content can be calculated.
This standard is important for ensuring the quality and performance of GRC products by accurately measuring the fibre content. It provides a standardized method that can be used by manufacturers, regulators, and consumers to evaluate the composition of GRC materials. Compliance with this standard helps to ensure that GRC products meet the required specifications and perform as intended.
