EN 13963:2014 (E) 10 5 Test methods 5.1 Sampling A minimum of three samples shall be subjected to the tests given in this section. Only the tests relevant to the class of compound as defined in 3.3 need to be done. 5.2 Determination of setting time 5.2.1 Principle Jointing compound shall be mixed with tap water in the proportion recommended by the manufacturer. The setting time shall be determined using a Vicat apparatus fitted with a penetration cone in an environment maintained at (23 ± 2) °C and (50 ± 5) % of relative humidity. 5.2.2 Apparatus and materials a) Vicat apparatus, as described in EN 196-3 with a cone of stainless steel or brass, approximately 35 mm long with a smooth polished surface and an angle of 30° ± 1. The cone is attached to the moveable rod of the Vicat apparatus in place of the needles; b) waxed paper or plastic cups, at least 40 mm deep; c) balance, to weigh 500 g with an accuracy of 0,1 %; d) measuring cylinder; e) a beaker of 250 ml to 400 ml capacity for use as a mixing vessel; f) palette knife with a normal 100 mm x 20 mm flexible stainless steel blade; g) stop clock. 5.2.3 Procedure Bring the jointing compound to a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C in a closed container before testing. Carry out the complete determination on two samples. The first sample is to determine the approximate setting time. The effective determination is carried out on the second sample. Place in the mixing vessel (beaker) the amount of tap water at (23 ± 2) °C, which will give an adequate volume of mix to enable the waxed paper or plastic cup to be struck off level without difficulty. Using the mix proportions recommended by the manufacturer, weigh out the appropriate amount of the compound. Start the stop clock and over 10 s add the compound to the water. Allow to settle for 20 s, then mix for 30 s at a rate of 2 to 3 strokes per second in such a manner that the entire contents of the mixing vessel are thoroughly mixed. If required by the manufacturer, re-mixing should be carried out at the stated time using the technique specified above. Transfer the mixed compound to two paper or plastic cups, strike off level and stand on a surface which is free from vibration and out of direct sunlight or draughts. Test from time to time with the Vicat apparatus, by placing the tip of the cone on the surface of the mix and allowing the moveable rod to fall freely. The distance between the points of impact of the cone
