ISO 1920-14:2019 PDF Download

ISO 1920-14:2019 is a standard that provides guidelines for testing the setting time of concrete mixtures using the resistance to penetration method. The standard specifies the procedure for determining the initial and final setting times of concrete, which is the time it takes for the mortar sieved from the concrete mixture to reach specified values of penetration resistance after the cement and water have been mixed.

The purpose of this standard is to evaluate the setting time and hardening characteristics of concrete, and to understand how various factors such as temperature, type and content of cement, concrete mix proportions, and admixtures can influence these properties. The method outlined in the standard can be applied in both laboratory and field conditions, providing a reliable and reproducible testing procedure.
