Take not less than three increments spaced evenly through the batch at the discharge point of the mixer. Take increments by passing the receptacle across the stream of mortar in such a manner as to collect a representative sample of mortar. 5.2.3 Sampling from conveyors, pipelines ete. Sample the mortar at the discharge point of the conveyor or pipeline. Pass the receptacle across the stream of morta, if possible so as to cross the whole of the steam, unt itis filled. IF it is not possible ‘9 eatch the whole stream at once, pass the receptacle through the stream at a uniform rate so that consecutive increments are taken from different pasts of the stream. Where itis not possible to sample at the discharge point of conveyor, stop the conveyor and use the scoop (5.1.1) to take increments from the full widch and thickness of the stream of mortar on the conveyor, © Take not less than thre increments at regularly spaced time intervals ducing the passage ofthe whole of the quantity of the mortar that is being sampled, 5.2.4 Sampling from large hoppers, bins, or heaps being moved Sample the mortar when heppers ctc, aie being filled or emptied or when heaps are being moved, in accordance with 5.2.3 » 5.2.5 Sampling from smaail hoppers, bins, static heaps, or bags Semple the mortar by means of the scoop. Take increments from material not less than 100 mm below the surface in at least three different places, distributed in a regular manner throughout the mass, 50 as to ensure, when mixed, a thoroughly cepresentative combined sample, "According to the method being used (see 5.2.3),Pages EN 1015-2:1998 5.2.6 Bulk transpert vehicles Samuple the contents of bulk tanspor: containers either during filling or emptying in accordance with 4.2.3 or, when this is aot practical, by taking increments in accordance with ¢2°5, 533 Reduction of the bulk sample Immctietly afler collecting, using @ Hat shovel (8.1.4) combine and thoroughly max the increments, spk in accordance with any of the methods described, on a fat, impervious vigil surtie Complete themuxing within. 5 min of placing the increments upon the surface.

Ifnone of the above fuer isPage 7 EN 1016-2:1998 apparent, the whole of the sample, with any liquid thet has separated, or bas condensed on the inside of the container, shall be removed completely and mixed without loss of water 1o render it homogeneous. Where practicable, the temperature of the bulk test sample shall be adjusted to 20 °C-+ 5 °C, without Joss of water. In all cases the temperature of the sample at the time of test shall be recorded, af esting Bulk test samples despatched to a laboratory for testing shall be tested immediately after arrival at the laboratory, and within the specified workable life of che mortar ‘Test ready to use mortars (factory made wet mortars which are retarded), and pre-batched air-lime/sand ‘wet mortars when not gauged with bydrenlic binders, within their specified workable life. 6 Preparation of test mortars from dry constituents and water or prebatched mixes and binders 6.1 Amount of mortar for test samples ‘The solid content of a prepared mortar mix, or the volume of the fresh mortar mix, shall be within the range given in table 1.

Unless otherwise specified, bring the fresh mortar sample to a defined flow value as specified in table 2, and determined in accordance with prEN 1015-3, The ‘water content needed to achieve this consistence is determined by the use of trial mixes, ‘Table 2: Defined flow value for various types of mortar related to the bulk density of fresh mortar Bulk density of fresh mortar Flow value (kg/m) (am) > 1200 17510 >600 to <1 200 160+ 10 2300 to < 600 140410 5300 1204 10Page 8 EN 1015-2:1998 Camry out mixing according to the mortar mamnfacturer's instructions. If such instructions are not available, follow the mixing procedure described in 6.2.2 or 6.2.3. Mix with the amount of water expected to give a moctar with the intended consistence. Measure the length of the mixing period from the momeat all constituents are introduced into the mixer. Record -any-deviation fromthe-mixing procedure: prescribed =~ 6.2.2 Mixer according to EN 196-1 -Affer the predetermined amount of waver has been introduced into the mixer, add the solid content of the dry mortar mix, as given in table 1, over a period of 15 s with the mixer running at low speed. For lightweight mortars correspondinaly reduce the amount and take from a vessel as an average sample, “Then complete mincing at ths same speed for a further 75 s unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer’, Follow the same procedure also for factory made mortars to which only water is to be added. For pre-batched mortars to which binders also are to be added, mix the additional proportion of binder into the water over a period of 13 s before adding the pre- batched constituents and with the mixer running at low speed. Then follow the same procedure as described above to complets mixing, 6.2.3 Pan mixer Carry out the mixcing proses in the same way as described in 6.2.2, the solid content of the dry mortar ‘mix, as given in table 1, being arkled over a period of 15 s with the mixer running. Thea complete the process by mixing fora further 120 5 - 180 5, the latter preferred for lightweight mortars and for high lime-based mortars. * Some adimixuures may not be activated within the specified time and particular atention should be paid 10 the sranafaccurer's instructions
