Lightweight aggregates; German and English version prEN 13055:2021
Abstract
This European Standard specifies the characteristics of lightweight aggregates (LWA) and LWA fillers and mixtures of them intended to be used in concrete, mortar and grout, bituminous mixtures, surface treatments and for unbound and hydraulically bound applications in construction works. This European Standard covers LWA and LWA fillers from mineral materials having particle densities not exceeding 2000 kg/m3 (2,000 Mg/m3) or loose bulk densities not exceeding 1200 kg/m3 (1,200 Mg/m3) of:a) natural origin,b) manufactured from natural materials,c) manufactured from by-products of industrial processes or from recycled source materials, andd) by-products of industrial processes.Limits given to densities are related to some test methods which might not be applicable to some lightweight aggregates and lightweight aggregate fillers and not to exclude products from the market.This European Standard also specifies procedures for assessment and verification of constancy (AVCP) of performance of characteristics of LWA and LWA fillers.Recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste and Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator Bottom Ash (MIBA) are covered by EN 12620, EN 13043, EN 13139 and EN 13242. Some LWA for specific applications are covered in separate European product Standards, see normative Annex A.
