EN 13892-3 Test Methods for Screed Materials - Part 3: Determination of Wear Resistance - Böhme

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 13892-3 testing. This European standard specifies a method for determining the abrasion resistance of molded specimens made of cementitious screed material for screed materials that primarily wear hard aggregate or optionally for other screed materials. The method is also suitable for samples cut from the floor screed. This method is not suitable for synthetic resin screed materials.

EN 13892-3 Test Methods for Screed Materials - Part 3: Determination of Wear Resistance - Böhme

Cast specimens are placed in Böhme abrasive, sprinkled with standard abrasive, the disc is rotated and the specimens are subjected to an abrasive load of 294 N for a given number of cycles.

The loading device shall consist of a lever consisting of two arms of different length, a loading weight and a counterweight; The lever should be rotated with as little friction as possible and should be positioned almost horizontally during the test. The system should be designed in such a way that the load is transferred vertically to the center of the sample by means of the piston. The lifter's own weight is balanced by the counterweight and scale arm to take the loading weight. The force acting on the sample is the result of the loading weight multiplied by the leverage ratio.

The wear resistance Böhme will be determined as the volume loss calculated from the changes in mass. In the case of the multilayer sample, the wear resistance is determined as the reduction in thickness.

The contact surface, ie the face to be tested and the underside of the specimen, must be parallel and flat. The underside shall be ground or otherwise machined to parallel, if appropriate, to determine the reduction in thickness.
