DIN EN 1367-8
Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates - Part 8: Determination of resistance to disintegration of Lightweight Aggregates; German version EN 1367-8:2014
Prüfverfahren für thermische Eigenschaften und Verwitterungsbeständigkeit von Gesteinskörnungen - Teil 8: Bestimmung des Widerstands von leichten Gesteinskörnungen gegen Zerfall; Deutsche Fassung EN 1367-8:2014
Overview
This document (EN 1367-8:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 154 "Aggregates", the secretariat of which is held by BSI (United Kingdom). The responsible German body involved is Working Committee NA 062-03-13 AA "Gemeinschaftsarbeitsausschuss NA 062/FGSV: Gesteinskörnungen; Prüfverfahren, Petrographie, Probenahme und Präzision" ("Joint working group NA062/FGSV: Aggregates; test methods, petrography, sampling and precision") of the Materials Testing Standards Committee (NMP) at DIN. This European Standard specifies the reference test method used for type testing, and in case of dispute, for determining the resistance to disintegration of lightweight aggregates (LWA) in accordance with EN 13055. For other purposes, in particular for factory production control, other methods may be used provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established The test is applicable to lightweight aggregates with particle size no lower than 4 mm and up to a maximum size of 32 mm.
