The majority of these systemswill have calcium aluminate cement as one component of thebinder system.1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to

Significance and Use4.1 The heat of hydration of a calcium aluminate based

6、castable is liberated over a short period of time (as comparedto Portland cement). This makes it easy to measure the heatprofile using off-the-shelf thermocouple equipment.4.2 The heat profile can be used to make inferences aboutthe setting and strength gain behavior of a castable andsometimes the w

7、orking time of a castable.4.3 Factors that should be controlled when comparing twocastables include: size, shape and mass of cast object, starttemperature of the mix, temperature of environment, and thethermal conductivity of the environment. If these factors areheld constant, then the two castables

8、 heat profiles can becompared.4.4 The temperature increase created by the castable exo-thermic reaction shall be at least 2.0C more than the normalfluctuation of the laboratory temperature so that the time of thisincrease is easily discernible to the user.4.5 Varying the amount of cement in the cast

9、able, theamount of water, the type and quantity of admixtures, and soforth, will change the shape, maximum temperature and time tomaximum temperature of the curve.4.6 Following is an example of a curve generated for anLCC (see Fig. 1) that does exhibit two peaks, the first onemarking the end of work

10、ing time. In this curve one could alsoinfer that the start temperature of the mix was 24C and alsothat the hydraulic strength gain reaction was significantlystarted, but not completed by 6 h.5.

15、959. United States16. Hazards6.1 There are no known hazards associated with the method.Safe practice should be used when mixing the castable.Castable MSDS should be consulted to determine if anyhazards exist with the castable.7. Procedure7.1 Prepare the castable according to the manufacturersmixing

16、instructions noting the time of water addition. Forcomparison testing, the water addition should produce acomparable consistency of the castables.7.2 If the entire sample will not be used for the EPgeneration, grab select a representative sample of required sizefrom the mixing bowl by successive qua

17、rtering when the mixeris turned off.7.3 Place castable in a container. Place container in anenvironment with constant temperature.7.4 Place thermocouple in the center of the castable in thecontainer. Use of a sheath is not required but will allow foreasier removal of the thermocouple later. Use of a

18、n insulatingcontainer will drive the final peak temperature to a higherpoint.7.5 Begin taking readings within 5 minutes of placing thecastable in the container. Readings can be taken either manu-ally at desired time intervals (note the mV (or temperature)reading readjusting your time 0 from the wate
