For the purpose of calculating thethermal
34、 mass used in this standard, the following specific heatcapacities can be used: The specific heat capacity of a typicalunhydrated portland cement and water is 0.75 and 4.18 J/(gK),respectively. Thus a mixture ofAg of cement andBgofwaterhas a thermal mass of (0.75 A + 4.18 B) J/K. The specificheat ca
35、pacity of typical quartz and limestone is 0.75 and 0.84J/(gK), respectively. The specific heat capacity of most amor-phous supplementary cementitious material such as fly ash orslag is approximately 0.8 J/(gK).3.2.20 thermal power, nheat production rate measured inwatts (W) or joules per second (J/s
36、), usually expressed inrelation to the mass of cementitious material, as mW/g or J/s/g.3.2.20.1 DiscussionThe thermal power is an indicator ofthe rate of various chemical reactions between cementitiousmaterials, other fine particles, mix water and admixtures.3.2.21 vial, ncontainer into which the fr
37、eshly mixedcementitious mixture is placed for a measurement.4. Summary of Practice4.1 An isothermal calorimeter consists of heat sink with athermostat, two heat flow sensors and a specimen vial holderattached to each sensor. A vial containing a freshly preparedmixture is placed in contact with one o
38、f the vial holders and athermally inert material is placed in contact with the other. Theheat of hydration released by the reacting cementitious speci-men is transferred and passes across a heat flow sensor. Thecalorimeter output is calculated from the difference betweenthe outputs from the test spe
39、cimen heat flow sensor and theinert specimen heat flow sensor. Because the heat is allowed toflow away from the specimen, the measurement will take placeat essentially constant temperature (isothermal conditions).4.2 Mixtures with cement, SCM, admixtures, water andoptional fine aggregate are prepare
40、d and introduced into anisothermal calorimeter. Isothermal calorimetry tests are per-formed on a series of different mixtures for relative comparisonof the hydration kinetics. The output of the calorimeter isevaluated by graphical and mathematical means to evaluateretarding and accelerating effects
41、of different combinations ofmaterials. Calcium sulfate may be added as a probe todetermine if the addition of admixture, SCMs, or both haveincreased the mixtures demand for sulfate beyond that whichis available in the cement.5. Significance and Use5.1 Thermal power curves are used to evaluate the is
42、other-mal hydration kinetics of the combined mixture of differentmaterials during the early period after being mixed with water.These isothermal power curves, or hydration profiles, mayprovide indications relative to setting characteristics, compat-ibility of different materials, sulfate balance and
43、 early strengthdevelopment. The isothermal hydration profiles can also beused to evaluate the effects of compositions, proportions, andtime of addition of materials as well as curing temperature.Special care must be used in evaluating extended retardationwith paste specimens, which have been shown t
44、o overestimatethe retardation of some mixtures containing cement, SCM, andadmixtures.5.2 This procedure can be used to measure the effect ofchemical admixtures on the cement hydration profile. In manycases, the addition of chemical admixture changes the kineticsof cement hydration.5.3 Although this
45、technique has been used historically tounderstand issues related to setting and slump loss, it must beemphasized that isothermal calorimetry results cannot predictconcrete performance definitely, either positively or negatively.Extensive verification in concrete at planned dosages andFIG. 2 Example
46、of the Effect of Soluble Calcium Sulfate Addition on the Timing of the Sulfate Depletion Point for a Type I Portland Ce-ment Mixed with Water Only at w/c = 0.45C1679 173temperatures, and at higher dosages, is needed. Isothermalcalorimetry is an effective tool to identify sensitivities, so thatconcre
47、te testing can be efficiently planned and performed.5.4 This practice provides a means of assessing the relativehydration performance of various test mixtures compared withcontrol mixtures that are prepared in a similar manner.5.5 The procedure and apparatus can be used to monitor thethermal power f
