 Standard: EN 196-1, ASTM C 305, AASHTO T 162, ISO 679

• EN 196-1

This standard is indeed crucial for assessing the strength and quality of cement, which is vital for ensuring the safety and durability of construction projects. By covering procedures for various strength tests and properties assessment, EN 196-1 provides a comprehensive framework for quality control in cement production and construction. The widespread adoption of EN 196-1 in Europe and other regions that adhere to European standards highlights its significance in upholding uniform quality and reliability standards within the cement industry.

• ASTM C 305

This standard establishes mechanically mixing hydraulic cement pastes and mortar with a plastic consistency. Guidelines are provied for the mechanical mixing of cement pastes and mortars to make sure the consistency and accuracy in laboratory testing. Unites States and other region where ASTM are recognised uses this standard. This is to ensure the consistency in how cement-based materials are being used for testing and research objectives.

• AASHTO T 162

This standard specifies in the particle-sized analysis of soils. It outlines the steps of performing particle-size distribution analysis on soil samples through mechanical sieving techniques. This standard holds particular significance in soil examination within transportation infrastructure challenges, aiding engineers and geotechnical experts in comprehending soil characteristic essential for designing.

• ISO 679 

This standard, ISO 679 outlines a procedure for assessing the water requirement, setting time, and soundness of hydraulic cement. It provides guidance for conducting tests to measure these properties, ensuring consistency and reliability in construction materials. Its utilised worldwide, ISO 679 serves as a standard method for evaluating the performance and quality of hydraulic cement. 

Test Procedure

1. Preparation: Make sure the Mortar Mixer is placed on a flat surface. Check the power source and ensure its connected and functional. Inspect the Mortar Mixer for any defects before use. 
2. Safety Precaution: Make sure you're geared up with gloves, goggles, and ear protection, and get acquainted with the automatic mixer's emergency shutdown process.
3. Touch Screen Calibration: If required, calibrate the touch screen interface according to the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Power On and Initialization: Switch on the power of the Mortar Mixer and ensure that the mixer initialise and reach the standby mode. 
5. Setting Parameters: Utilise the touch screen to adjust the settings, mixing duration, velocity, and other necessary configurations based on the mortar mix specifications.
6. Loading Ingredients: Measure the appropriate amount of dry mortar mix and water as per the manufacturer's instructions before loading the dry mix and water into the mixing drum of the mortar mixer.
7. Starting the Mixing Process: Start the mixixng process using the touch screen interface. Keep an eye on the mixing process, ensuring that the mixer runs seamlessly and adheres to the predefined parameters.
8. Quality Check: Pause the mixer as required to assess the mortar mixture for uniformity, proper hydration, and absence of lumps.  Make adjustments to parameter or settings via the touch screen interface if the mixture requires refinement. 
9. Completion and Shutdown: Once the mixing process is complete, stop the mixer through the touch screen interface. Allow the mixer to come to a complete stop before proceeding.
10. Cleaning and Maintainence: Switch off the mortar mixer and disconnect it from the power supply. Thoroughly clean the mixing drum to eliminate any remaining mortar residue. Conduct routine maintenance procedures as advised by the manufacturer.
11. Documentation: Keep a detailed record of all parameters, configurations, and observations made throughout the testing process. Note down any problems encountered and notify the relevant individuals for further assessment and resolution.
12. Final Inspection: Conduct a final inspection to ensure that the mixer meets operational standards and ready for use.
