EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 480-2 testing. This European Standard specifies a method for determining the setting time of mortar with and without additives. It is an adaptation of the curing time test described in EN 196-3.
This European Standard describes the reference method; Allows the use of alternative apparatus specified in the notes without affecting the results.
EN 480-2 is a European standard that specifies the test method for determining the setting times of additives used in concrete, mortar and mortar. Curing time is an important property of these materials as it can affect the workability, strength and durability of the finished product.
The test method described in EN 480-2 involves preparing a sample of the material containing the mixture and measuring the time it takes for the material to reach a certain level of hardness. This is done using a test apparatus that applies a certain amount of pressure to the surface of the material at regular intervals.
The standard specifies the conditions under which the test should be performed, including the temperature and humidity of the test environment. It also provides guidance on sample preparation and the equipment needed to perform the test.
The results of the test can be used to determine the material's initial setting time and final setting time. The initial setting time is when the material reaches a certain level of hardness, while the final setting time is when the material hardens completely.
By providing a standardized test method for determining the cure times of additives, EN 480-2 helps ensure that materials used in construction are of consistent quality and meet safety and performance standards.
