7、of Hydraulic Cement Mortar3. Summary of Test Method3.1 The After initial mixing is complete, the flow of the mortar or plaster is determined. The mortar or plaster is then subjectedto a controlled vacuum suction for 60 s, after which the flow is again determined. The water retention is the final flo

8、w divided bythe initial flow expressed as a percentage.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides a means for determining the ability of mortars and plasters to retain water under suction. Testresults may be used to determine compliance with specifications.4.2 The results obtained using th

9、is test method can be used to compare the relative ability of mortars and plasters to retain waterunder suction.4.3 The results obtained using this test method for masonry mortars do not necessarily indicate the degree of water retentionwhen used with masonry units, since the amount of water absorbe

10、d by the unit depends on the rate of absorption of the masonryunit.4.4 The results obtained using this test method for plasters (stucco) do not necessarily indicate the degree of water retentionwhen the plaster is applied as a second coat on the surface of a previously applied plaster base coat, sin

11、ce the amount of waterabsorbed from the second coat of plaster depends on the rate of absorption of the base coat. This is also true when a plaster isapplied as a coating on masonry units.1 This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C01 on Cement and is the direct responsibility of

Theperforated dish shall be made of metal not attacked by masonry mortar or plaster (Note 1). The metal

18、 base of the dish shall havea thickness of 2.0 6 0.3 mm and shall conform to the requirements given in Fig. 1. The stopcock bore shall have a 4.0 6 0.5-mmdiameter, and the connecting glass tubing shall have a minimum inside diameter of 4 mm. The length of the tubing projecting intothe 1-L flask from

19、 the stopcock shall extend at least 25 mm below the center line of the vacuum connection. The contact surfacesof the funnel and perforated dish shall be plane and may need to be lapped to ensure intimate contact. An airtight seal shall bemaintained between the funnel and the dish during the test. Th

20、is shall be accomplished by either of the following procedures. (1)A synthetic (grease-resistant) rubber gasket may be permanently sealed to the top of the funnel using petrolatum or light greaseto ensure a seal between the gasket and dish. (2) The top of the funnel may be lightly coated with petrol

21、eum or light grease toensure a seal between the funnel and dish. Care should be taken to ensure that none of the holes in the perforated dish becomeclogged. Hardened, smooth, not rapid filter paper shall be used. It shall be 150 mm in diameter and be placed so as to completelycover the perforations

Precision and Bias11.1 PrecisionThe following precision values were calculated from results of tests reported to Cement and ConcreteReference Laboratory (CCRL) for masonry cement proficiency samples Number 3 through 42 (Note 4). Within- andamong-laboratory s

38、tandard deviations were calculated by CCRL for each sample pair. Values were pooled over all 40 samples forpurposes of this analysis. Water retention test results (excluding outliers) ranged from 72 to 88 %. The average number oflaboratories reporting was 69.NOTE 4These tests utilized a slightly dif

39、ferent test pressure, 6.7 6 0.4 kPa (50 6 0.3 mm Hg).11.1.1 Single-laboratory PrecisionThe single-laboratory standard deviation has been found to be 3.5 % (Note 5). Therefore,the results of two properly conducted tests in the same laboratory on the same material should not differ by more than 9.8 %

40、(Note5) in 95 % of such pairwise comparisons.11.1.2 Multilaboratory PrecisionThe multilaboratory standard deviation has been found to be 5.1 % (Note 5). Therefore, theresults of two properly conducted tests in different laboratories on the same material should not differ by more than 14.3 % (Note5)

41、in 95 % of such pairwise comparisons.NOTE 5These numbers represent, respectively, the 1s and d2s limits as described in Practice C670.11.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference material suitable for determining bias in this test method, no statement on biasis being made.12.
