Methods of test for mortar for masonry - Part 6: Determination of bulk density of fresh mortar
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 1015-6 standard focuses on the testing methods for determining the bulk density of fresh mortar, specifically designed for use in masonry. This standard applies to various types of mortar, including those that contain mineral binders and both dense and lightweight aggregates.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure consistency and accuracy in the measurement of bulk density, which is an important characteristic of fresh mortar. Bulk density refers to the mass of a unit volume of mortar, and it is significant because it impacts the overall performance and workability of the material.
By providing clear guidelines and precise instructions, this standard enables accurate and reliable measurements of bulk density. This ensures the quality and consistency of mortars used in masonry applications, allowing for efficient construction practices and safe structures.
