Standard Sand EN196-1
Fully compliant with EN 196-1, is a high-purity siliceous product with a precisely controlled particle size distribution as mandated by the standard. Produced through industrial sieving processes, it comprises multiple fractions blended in specific ratios. In contrast to natural sands, which have variable grain sizes and inconsistent quality. Standard Sand compliant with EN 196-1 offers uniformity and reliability, making it ideal for cement compressive and flexural strength testing. Natural sand's variability can impact measurement accuracy, while Standard Sand's controlled distribution ensures reproducible results meeting EN 196-1 standards. Additionally, Standard Sand maintains a low moisture content of 0.2% to ensure the correct water-to-cement ratio. Packaged in 1,350 ± 5 g polyethylene bags/paper bags and adhering to strict quality control, it is essential for reliable test outcomes in cement compressive and flexural strength testing.
Standard Sand EN196-9
Standard Sand that meets EN 196-9 Standard Sand that meets EN 196-9 specifications is a high-purity silica sand (typically over 98% SiO2) with a controlled particle size distribution as required by the standard. It is produced through precise industrial sieving, resulting in specific fractions that are blended in specific ratios. In contrast to natural sands, which have varying grain sizes and inconsistent quality. Standard Sand ensures uniformity and dependability, making it suitable for cement hydration tests via adiabatic and semi-adiabatic method. The inconsistency of natural sand can affect measurement accuracy, whereas Standard Sand's consistent distribution ensures repeatable results in line with EN 196-9. It is typically packaged in 1,080 ± 5 g polyethylene or paper bags, with strict quality control measures to ensure reliable test outcomes in evaluating cement hydration.
