What is BS EN 196-6 - Determination of fineness of cement about?
BS EN 196-6 is the sixth part of the multi-series European standards which discusses the methods of testing cement. BS EN 196-6 describes three methods of determining the fineness of the cement.
The sieving method serves only to demonstrate the presence of coarse cement particles. This method is primarily suited to checking and controlling the production process.
The sir-jet sieving method measures the retention on sieving and is suitable for particles that substantially pass a 2,0 mm test sieve. It can be used to determine the particle size distribution of agglomerates of very fine particles. This method can be used with test sieves in a range of aperture sizes, e...
