The following sampling and testing procedures shall be used by the purchaser to verify compliance with this specification. 9.2. Take random grab samples either from a delivery uni

25、t or at some point in the loading or unloading process so that no sample represents more than 115 Mg (125 tons) (Note 4). If samples are taken from rail cars or trucks, take at least two separate 2-kg (5-lb) portions and thoroughly mix them to obtain a test sample (Note 5). Sample by removing approx

26、imately a 300-mm (12-in.) layer of slag cement. Make a hole before obtaining a sample to avoid dust collector material that may be discharged into the delivery unit after the slag cement flow ceases. Sample at a rate of ten samples per month or one sample for each 2300 Mg (2500 tons) of shipments, w

27、hichever is more frequent. Note 4Standard statistical procedures are recommended for ensuring that samples are selected by a random procedure; see ASTM D3665. These procedures can be used to select the days within a month or within a week that samples will be taken. The delivery unit or time of day

28、then should be chosen randomly. Note 5The quantity of sample specified is more than adequate for the testing required. A 2-kg (5-lb) portion should be retained in a sealed container for retesting if that is considered necessary to verify compliance. 10. TEST METHODS 10.1. Slag-Activity Tests with Po

29、rtland Cement: 10.1.1. Slag cement activity shall be evaluated by determining the compressive strength of both portland-cement mortars and corresponding mortars made with the same mass of blend that is 50 percent slag cement and 50 percent portland cement by mass.
