Methods of test for mortar for masonry - Part 3: Determination of consistence of fresh mortar (by flow table)
This European Standard specifies a method for determining the consistence of freshly mixed mortars (in the following briefly referred to as fresh mortars) including those containing mineral binders and both normal weight and lightweight aggregates, which is by means of the flow value.
Prüfverfahren für Mörtel für Mauerwerk - Teil 3: Bestimmung der Konsistenz von Frischmörtel (mit Ausbreittisch)
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Konsistenz von frisch angemischtem Mörtel (im folgenden kurz "Frischmörtel" genannt) einschließlich Mörtel aus mineralischen Bindemitteln und sowohl Normal- als auch Leichtzuschlägen fest. Die Konsistenz wird über das Ausbreitmaß ermittelt.

Overview
SIST EN 1015-3:2001 is a European Standard established by CEN that defines the method for determining the consistence of fresh mortar used in masonry. This standard specifically covers the assessment of freshly mixed mortars, including those with mineral binders and both normal weight and lightweight aggregates. The consistence of mortar is evaluated by measuring its flow value using a flow table test. This ensures uniformity and quality control in mortar preparation, which is crucial for masonry durability and performance.
Key Topics
- Scope of Mortar Types: Covers a broad range of fresh mortars including cement, gypsum, and lime-based mortars, applicable with various aggregates.
- Flow Table Test Method: Defines a standardized procedure to determine mortar consistence by measuring the flow spread on a flow table.
- Consistency Measurement: The flow value obtained provides a quantitative indicator of the mortar’s workability and flow characteristics.
- Test Execution: Involves subjecting a sample of freshly mixed mortar to controlled jolting on a flow table, then measuring the spread diameter.
- Quality Control: Ensures mortar batches conform to specified consistence for optimal handling and structural integrity.
Applications
- Masonry Construction: Ensures consistent fresh mortar mix quality for bricklaying, stonework, and block masonry.
- Manufacturing Processes: Used by mortar manufacturers for batch consistency and product specification compliance.
- Quality Assurance: Enables contractors and laboratories to verify fresh mortar performance before application.
- Research and Development: Provides a reliable test method for evaluating new mortar formulations and admixtures.
- Compliance Verification: Helps meet national and international building codes and standards relating to mortar application.
