Equipment for concrete roughness measurement
Definition of the concrete surface roughness in accordance with the German Standard “Rili-DAStb”
- Defined Volume V (25 cm³ or 50 cm³)
- Dried kiln quartz sand 0.1 – 0.3 mm
- Round wooden disc (Ø 50 mm, thickness 10 mm)
Test:
Defined volume of quartz sand (I.e. 25 cm³) is to be placed onto the surface and distributed in a circling manner until the troughs are filled
RT = 40xV / p x d²
Roughness Definition by ICRI
The International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) has defined nine different guidelines for proper surface preparation and has developed profile replica blocks to give a visual point of reference for the user.
The nine profile replicas of the CSP standards can be obtained from ICRI.Each profile carries a CSP number ranging from a base line of 1 (nearly flat) through 9 (very rough).
