Standard EN EN DETest Method for Metallic Fibre Concrete - Measuring the Fibre Content in Fresh and Hardened Concrete
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14721 standard provides a clear and standardized test method for measuring the fibre content in both fresh and hardened concrete that contains metallic fibres. The purpose of this standard is to ensure accurate and consistent measurements of fibre content in concrete construction projects.
The standard outlines the procedure for determining the metallic fibre content, allowing for precise calculations that are essential for quality control and assurance. By following the guidelines in this standard, concrete producers and contractors can ensure that the desired fibre content is achieved, which can enhance the performance and durability of concrete structures.
This standard is particularly useful in construction projects where metallic fibres are used to improve the mechanical properties of concrete, such as its strength, ductility, and impact resistance. By accurately measuring the fibre content, it is possible to optimize the design and quality of the concrete, making it suitable for specific applications and meeting project requirements.
