EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 480-13 testing. This European Standard specifies the component materials, composition and mixing procedure for producing a reference masonry mortar of the prescribed consistency for testing mortar additives as defined in EN 934-3. It also describes the determination of water reduction of the test mix compared to the control mix.
The purpose of this standard is to provide a standardized mortar mix that can be used as a reference for testing the performance of additives. The reference mortar is designed to have certain properties, including a defined compressive strength, workability, and water holding capacity.
The standard specifies the contents and proportions of the reference mortar, as well as mixing and testing procedures. The reference mortar is prepared by mixing the specified amounts of Portland cement, sand and water with the necessary additives.
The properties of the reference mortar, including compressive strength, workability, and water holding capacity, are measured using standard test methods. These properties can be used to compare the performance of different additives and to ensure they meet specifications for use in masonry mortar.
In general, the EN 480-13 standard provides a standardized reference mortar that can be used to test the performance of additives used in masonry mortar. Using this standard, manufacturers, suppliers and users of additives can ensure that their products meet the required specifications and provide the desired performance characteristics in masonry mortar.
