Admixtures for concrete, mortar and grout - Test methods - Part 14: Determination of the effect on corrosion susceptibility of reinforcing steel by potentiostatic electro-chemical test

This European Standard defines:
A test method for determining the influence of an admixture on the corrosion of a steel bar embedded in a mortar sample held at an increased potential in an electrochemical cell. The method can be used to determine the harmlessness of admixtures with regard to corrosion of reinforcing but not stressed steel. It applies to all admixtures for concrete, mortar and grout in contact with reinforcing steel.
NOTE 1   This test method does not apply to assessing corrosion behaviour of admixtures when used with high tensile steel.
NOTE 2   This test method does not assess the efficacy of admixtures defined as corrosion inhibitors.
NOTE 3   The quantity of chloride ion present in admixtures is covered by a separate requirement in the relevant parts of the EN 934 series.

Zusatzmittel für Beton, Mörtel und Einpressmörtel - Prüfverfahren - Teil 14: Bestimmung des Korrosionsverhaltens von Stahl in Beton - Elektrochemische Prüfung bei gleichbleibendem Potential

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung des Einflusses von Zusatzmitteln auf die Korrosion von einem in einer Mörtelprobe eingebetteten Rundstahlstab, der in einer elektrochemischen Zelle einem erhöhten Potenzial ausgesetzt ist, fest. Das Verfahren kann zur Bestimmung der Unschädlichkeit von Zusatzmitteln hinsichtlich der Korrosion von Betonstahl, jedoch nicht von Spannstahl, angewendet werden. Es gilt für alle Zusatzmittel für Beton, Mörtel und Einpressmörtel, die mit Betonstahl in Berührung kommen.
ANMERKUNG 1   Dieses Prüfverfahren gilt nicht für die Beurteilung des Korrosionsverhaltens von Zusatzmitteln, die in Verbindung mit  hochfestem Stahl verwendet werden.
ANMERKUNG 2   Dieses Prüfverfahren dient nicht dazu, die Wirksamkeit von Zusatzmitteln zu beurteilen, die als korrosionshemmende Stoffe (Passivatoren/Inhibitoren) bezeichnet werden.
ANMERKUNG 3   Die Festlegungen für die in Zusatzmitteln vorhandene Menge an Chloridionen wird durch gesonderte, in den jeweiligen Teilen der Normenreihe EN 934 angegebenen Anforderungen abgedeckt.

Adjuvants pour béton, mortier et coulis - Méthodes d'essais - Partie 14 : Détermination de l'effet sur la tendance à la corrosion de l'acier pour armature au moyen d'un essai électrochimique potentiostatique

La présente Norme européenne définit :
Une méthode d’essai permettant de déterminer l’effet d’un adjuvant sur la corrosion d’une barre en acier placée dans un échantillon de mortier maintenue à un potentiel élevé dans une cellule électrochimique. La méthode peut servir à déterminer l’innocuité des adjuvants vis-à-vis de la corrosion d’un acier pour armature non tendue. La méthode s’applique à tous les adjuvants pour bétons, mortiers et coulis en contact avec un acier pour armature en béton.
NOTE 1   Cette méthode d’essai ne s’applique pas à l’évaluation du comportement à la corrosion des adjuvants utilisés avec de l’acier à haute résistance.
NOTE 2   Cette méthode d’essai n’évalue pas l’efficacité des adjuvants définis comme inhibiteurs de corrosion.
NOTE 3   La teneur en ions de chlorure présente dans les adjuvants est traitée par une exigence distincte dans les parties correspondantes de la série EN 934.

3 Test principle
During the test, a steel bar, embedded in a cement mortar containing the admixture, is maintained at a
constant potential relative to a reference electrode. The potential chosen is close to the higher level of the
passive state for steel in plain concrete. Any detrimental effect from the addition of the admixture will be
immediately obvious as the passive s
