EN 12372:2006 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 12372:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 246 “Natural stones”, the secretariat of which is held by UNI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2007, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by
June 2007. This document supersedes EN 12372:1999. The change of the specimens’ dimensions requested a revision of this European Standard. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.



EN 12372:2006 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method for determination of flexural strength under a concentrated load for natural stone. Both an identification and a technological product testing procedure are included. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 12390 (all parts), Testing hardened concrete 3 Principle The principle of this method is to place a specimen on two rollers and to progressively load the specimen in the middle. The breaking load is measured and the flexural strength calculated. 4 Symbols For the purposes of this document, the following symbols apply. Rtf flexural strength, in Megapascals F breaking load, in newtons a load rate, in Megapascals/second V loading rate, in newtons/second l distance between the supporting rollers, in millimetres b width of the specimen adjacent to the plane of fracture, in millimetres h thickness of the specimen adjacent to the plane of fracture, in millimetres L total length of the specimen, in millimetres 5 Apparatus 5.1 A balance capable of weighing the specimen with an accuracy of 0,01 % of the mass of the specimen. 5.2 A ventilated oven capable of maintaining a temperature of (70 ± 5) °C. 5.3 A linear measuring device with an accuracy of 0,05 mm. 5.4 A testing machine of appropriate force, in accordance with the EN 12390 and calibrated according to this European Standard.



EN 12372:2006 (E) 5 5.5 A device for applying loads on the specimen by a centre-point load. It consists of two lower rollers (supporting rollers) and one upper roller (load-applying roller) which shall be centred exactly in the middle between the two supporting rollers (see Figure 1). The distance between the two supporting rollers shall be reported as requested in 6.2.2. 5.6 A room which can be maintained at a temperature of (20 ± 10) °C. 6 Preparation of the specimens 6.1 Sampling The sampling is not the responsibility of the test laboratory except where specially requested. At least
10 specimens shall be selected from a homogeneous batch (see also 6.2.4). 6.2 Test specimens 6.2.1 Surface finish As a standard reference, the surface finish of the faces of the specimens shall be sawn, honed or polished (identification test). In case of necessity to test specimens with other surface finishes (e.g. flamed, sandblasted) as required for application, this may be done (technological test). For the technological test the specimens may be final products or sawn from final products. The surface intended for use shall be in contact with the two supporting rollers (facing downwards). In any case the kind of surface finish shall be stated in the report. 6.2.2 Dimensions For stones with a size of the largest grain lower than 25 mm, preferred dimensions are
50 mm × 50 mm × 300 mm. Other dimensions are possible, but shall fulfil the following requirements:  the thickness h shall be between 25 mm and 100 mm and shall be greater tha
