Overview
EN 1015-3:1999/A1:2004 - Methods of test for mortar for masonry, Part 3 - specifies the determination of the consistence (workability/flow) of fresh mortar using the flow table (flow table test). This document is an amendment (A1:2004) to the original EN 1015-3:1999 issued by CEN and is concerned specifically with a modification to Annex A relating to the mass of the movable parts of the flow table.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Test method for assessing the consistence (fresh-state flowability) of masonry mortar using a flow table.
- Amendment A1 (2004): Updates Annex A to specify the total mass (M) of the movable parts of the flow table:
- 4.2 kg ≤ M ≤ 4.5 kg (movable parts include lifting spindle, rigid table and circular disc).
- Purpose of the flow table method: Provide an objective, reproducible measurement of mortar flow/consistence to evaluate workability, quality control and conformity to specifications.
- Standardization context: Prepared by CEN/TC 125 (Masonry); national adoption by CEN members is required.
Note: This content summarizes the amendment and high-level intent of EN 1015-3:1999/A1:2004. For full test procedures, apparatus dimensions and operational steps, refer to the complete standard text.
Applications
- Quality control in production: Mortar manufacturers and ready-mix facilities use the flow table test to monitor batch-to-batch consistency and adjust water or admixture dosing.
- Site testing for masonry contractors: Verifies on-site mortar workability for laying, joint filling and bed thickness control.
- Laboratory testing and certification: Test laboratories use the method to generate repeatable data for compliance testing, product development and performance comparison.
- Specification and procurement: Architects, engineers and specifiers reference EN 1015-3 to define acceptable fresh mortar consistence in technical specifications and contracts.
