7、nt Mortar3. Summary of Test Method3.1 The flow of the mortar or plaster is determined. Themortar or plaster is then subjected to a controlled vacuumsuction for 60 s, after which the flow is again determined. Thewater retention is the final flow divided by the initial flowexpressed as a percentage.4.
8、 Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a means for determining theability of mortars and plasters to retain water under suction.Test results may be used to determine compliance withspecifications.4.2 The results obtained using this test method can be usedto compare the relative ability o
9、f mortars and plasters to retainwater under suction.4.3 The results obtained using this test method for masonrymortars do not necessarily indicate the degree of waterretention when used with masonry units, since the amount ofwater absorbed by the unit depends on the rate of absorption ofthe masonry
10、unit.4.4 The results obtained using this test method for plasters(stucco) do not necessarily indicate the degree of waterretention when the plaster is applied as a second coat on thesurface of a previously applied plaster base coat, since theamount of water absorbed from the second coat of plasterde
11、pends on the rate of absorption of the base coat. This is alsotrue when a plaster is applied as a coating on masonry units.5.

The contact surfaces of the funnel andperforated dish shall be plane and may need to be lapped toensure intimate contact. An airtight seal shall be maintainedbetween the funnel
18、and the dish during the test. This shall beaccomplished by either of the following procedures. (1)Asynthetic (grease-resistant) rubber gasket may be permanentlysealed to the top of the funnel using petrolatum or light greaseto ensure a seal between the gasket and dish. (2) The top of theNOTEThe gask

Hardened, smooth, not rapid filter paper shall be used.It shall be 150 mm in diameter and be placed so as tocompletely cover the perforations in the dish.NOT
21、E 1Stainless steel, brass, and bronze are suitable metals for thispurpose.5.6 Controlled Vacuum Source:5.6.1 A vacuum gage capable of reading at least 9-kPapressure in 0.1-kPa increments (Note 2 and Note 3), connectedto a miniature vacuum regulator having a maximum 55-kPacapacity, which is then conn
22、ected to a vacuum pump or wateraspirator as shown in Fig. 1. Connection is made between thevacuum flask and the vacuum gage.NOTE 2Vacuum values are all given as pressure relative to atmo-spheric pressure.NOTE 3Gages reading pressure in other units are acceptable as longas their capacity and scale in
23、crements comply with the levels specifiedhere. (For example, a vacuum gage with a minimum capacity of 70 mmof Hg in 1-mm increments is acceptable. To convert mm of Hg to kPa,multiply by 0.1333. Thus the 7.0-kPa starting pressure is equivalent to53-mm Hg.)6. Temperature and Humidity6.1 The temperatur

35、eport to the nearest 1 %.11. Precision and Bias11.1 PrecisionThe following precision values were cal-culated from results of tests reported to Cement and ConcreteReference Laboratory (CCRL) for masonry cement proficiencysamples Number 3 through 42 (Note 4). Within- and among-laboratory standard devi
36、ations were calculated by CCRL foreach sample pair. Values were pooled over all 40 samples forpurposes of this analysis. Water retention test results (exclud-ing outliers) ranged from 72 to 88 %. The average number oflaboratories reporting was 69.NOTE 4These tests utilized a slightly different test
37、pressure, 6.7 6 0.4kPa (50 6 0.3 mm Hg).11.1.1 Single-laboratory PrecisionThe single-laboratorystandard deviation has been found to be 3.5 % (Note 5).Therefore, the results of two properly conducted tests in thesame laboratory on the same material should not differ by morethan 9.8 % (Note 5) in 95 %
38、 of such pairwise comparisons.11.1.2 Multilaboratory PrecisionThe multilaboratorystandard deviation has been found to be 5.1 % (Note 5).C1506 093Therefore, the results of two properly conducted tests indifferent laboratories on the same material should not differ bymore than 14.3 % (Note 5) in 95 %
39、of such pairwise compari-sons.NOTE 5These numbers represent, respectively, the 1s and d2s limitsas described in Practice C670.11.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining bias in this test method, no statementon bias is being made.12.
