Overview

EN 13395-1:2002 defines a standardized laboratory method to determine the workability (consistence) of trowel‑grade thixotropic repair mortars used for the protection and repair of concrete structures. It covers hydraulic cement mortars (CC), polymer‑modified hydraulic cement mortars (PCC) and polymer‑bound mortars (PC) as defined in EN 1504‑1. The test measures mortar flow on a flow table after a controlled jolting action, providing repeatable data for product development, quality control and specification compliance.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope: Applicable to trowel‑grade thixotropic mortars for protection and repair of concrete (EN 1504‑1 references).
  • Principle: Flow spread after 15 jolts of a flow table; method based on EN 1015‑3.
  • Equipment:
    • Mortar or concrete mixer (EN 196‑1 mixer or forced action pan mixer); note some mortars may foam in certain mixers - a concrete mixer can be used as alternative.
    • Tamper: 40 ±1 mm diameter, (200 ±10) mm length, flat square tamping face, mass (0.250 ±0.015) kg.
    • Flow table and truncated conical mould (per EN 1015‑3 Annex A).
    • Calipers (accuracy 1 mm up to 300 mm), stopwatch (1 s accuracy).
    • Standard lab climate: 21 ±2 °C and 60 ±10 % RH.
  • Sample preparation:
    • Condition materials ≥24 h in standard climate.
    • For CC and PCC: mix at low speed, pour gauging liquid, add dry ingredients, mix for 2 minutes after all ingredients added.
    • Remix mortar 20 ±2 s immediately before testing.
  • Test procedure & timing:
    • Test samples at (10 ±5) min, (30 ±5) min or other agreed intervals; two samples per interval.
    • Place mortar in mould in two layers, compact with tamper, skim excess, wait 30 s, lift mould, jolt platen 15 times at ~1 drop/s.
  • Results & acceptance:
    • Measure two orthogonal diameters, record to nearest 1 mm, mean of two tests = Flow Value.
    • If the two results differ by >10% from the mean, test two additional samples.
  • Test report: Must include reference to standard, laboratory and manufacturer details, batch ID, test dates/conditions, equipment, individual values and mean flow, precision data, and signature.

Applications and users

  • Manufacturers: product development, formulation optimization and batch quality control.
  • Independent test laboratories: performance verification and certification testing.
  • Specifiers and consultants: setting performance requirements in repair contracts and tenders.
  • Contractors: verifying workmanship and suitability of trowel‑grade mortars on site (laboratory acceptance tests).
  • Regulators / certifiers: conformity assessment relative to EN 1504 series.
