25、1 Preparation of Cement Paste: Obtain the cement paste used for determination of the time of setting from one of thefollowing methods:10.1.1 Prepare a new batch of paste by mixing 650 g of cement with the percentage of mixing water required for normalconsistency (Test Method C187), following the pro

26、cedure described in Practice C305.10.1.2 At the option of the tester, use the paste remaining from the batch used for the autoclave expansion specimen (TestMethod C151C151/C151M) or from the normal consistency determination (Test Method C187).10.2 Molding Test SpecimenFrom the cement paste prepared

27、as described in 10.1, make a pat with a flat top and the sidestapering to a thin edge on a plane non-absorptive plate, conforming to the dimensions and tolerances in Fig. 1 (a). In molding thepat, flatten the cement paste first on the plate and then form the pat by drawing the trowel from the outer

28、edge toward the center,then flattening the top. After making, place the pat in the moist cabinet or moist room and allow it to remain there except whenthe determinations of time of setting are being made.10.3 Time of Setting DeterminationDetermine the time of setting by holding the needle in a verti

29、cal position and lightlyapplying it to the surface of the pat.C266 18210.3.1 Using the Initial Gillmore needle, determine the Gillmore Initial time of setting end point to be the first penetrationmeasurement that does not mark the specimen surface with a complete circular impression. Verify Initial

The elapsed time, in minutes, between the time of contact of cement and mixing waterand the end point deter

31、mined above is the Gillmore initial time of setting.10.3.2 Using the Final Gillmore needle, determine the Gillmore Final time of setting end point to be the first penetrationmeasurement that does not mark the specimen surface with a complete circular impression. Verify Final set by obtaining twoaddi
