EN ISO 679 is the cement test method for determining the compressive strength of cement mortar and, when required, flexural strength. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN ISO 679 Covers
It is used for strength benchmarking, product development, and routine QC where cement mortar strength must be verified against requirements.
How the Test Is Run
Standard mortar prisms are cast, cured, broken in flexure, and the resulting halves are loaded in compression, giving flexural and compressive strength.
Why It Matters
Cement mortar strength governs cement quality and classification; a flexure fixture and a high-force compression machine are used together.
