CEMENT TEST METHODS

Sand for measuring mechanical resistance

CHARACTERISTICS

• CEN Standard sand is a natural sand, which is siliceous particularly its finest fractions.
• It is clean; the particles are generally isometric and rounded in shape.
• It is dried, screened and prepared in a modern workshop which offers every guarantee in terms of quality and consistency.
• The sand is packaged in polyethylene bags each containing 1 350 ± 5 g.
• Reference sand size is 0,08÷2 mm.
• Deliveries are made in boxes of 16 bags weighing 21.6 kg and in pallets of 2 to 54 boxes, suitably protected by a polyethylene cover (land transport) or reinforced boxes (shipping).

• CEN standardized sand certified according to EN 196-1

• ISO standardized sand in accordance with ISO 679

Sand for strength measurements

• Certified in accordance with EN 196-1
• Conforming to ISO 679

Standard

• EN 196-1

CONTROLS

The particle size composition determined by sieving complies with the requirements of standards EN 196-1 (§ 5) and ISO 679: 2009 (§ 5).

These analyzes are supplemented by mass checks of the bags, measurements of the humidity rate and checks of mechanical resistance, according to the requirements of standards EN 196-1 (§ 11) and ISO 679: 2009 (§ 11).
