3、rtment of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the densityof hydraulic cement. Its particular usefulness is in connectionwith the design and control of concrete mixtures.1.2 The density of hydraulic cement is defined as the massof a unit volume of the solids.1.3 The value

4、s stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.4 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 establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility

6、ich is circularin cross section, with shape and dimensions conformingessentially to Fig. 1 (Note 1). The requirements in regard totolerance, inscription and length, spacing, and uniformity ofgraduation will be rigidly observed. There shall be a space ofat least 10 mm between the highest graduation m

The glass shall bechemically resistant and shall have small thermal hysteresis.The flasks shall be thoroughly annealed before being gradu-ated

8、 They shall be of sufficient thickness to ensure reasonableresistance to breakage.3.1.2 The neck shall be graduated from 0 to 1 mL and from18 to 24 mL in 0.1-mL graduations. The error of any indicatedcapacity shall not be greater than 0.05 mL.3.1.3 Each flask shall bear a permanent identification n

9、um-ber and the stopper, if not interchangeably ground, shall bearthe same number. Interchangeable ground-glass parts shall bemarked on both members with the standard-taper symbol,followed by the size designation. The standard temperatureshall be indicated, and the unit of capacity shall be shown byt

Procedure4.1 Determine the density of cement on the material asreceive

15、d, unless otherwise specified. If the density determina-tion on a loss-free sample is required, first ignite the sample asdescribed in the test for loss on ignition in section 16.1 onPortland Cement of Test Methods C 114.4.2 Fill the flask (Note 2) with either of the liquids specifiedin 3.2 to a poi

16、nt on the stem between the 0 and the 1-mL mark.Dry the inside of the flask above the level of the liquid, ifnecessary, after pouring. Record the first reading after the flaskhas been immersed in the water bath (Note 3) in accordancewith 4.4.NOTE 2It is advisable to use a rubber pad on the table top

17、when fillingor rolling the flask.NOTE 3Before the cement has been added to the flask, a loose-fitting,lead-ring weight around the stem of the flask will be helpful in holding theflask in an upright position in the water bath, or the flask may be held inthe water bath by a buret clamp.4.3 Introduce a

18、 quantity of cement, weighed to the nearest0.05 g, (about 64 g for portland cement) in small increments atthe same temperature as the liquid (Note 2). Take care to avoidsplashing and see that the cement does not adhere to the insideof the flask above the liquid. A vibrating apparatus may be usedto a

19、ccelerate the introduction of the cement into the flask andto prevent the cement from sticking to the neck. After all thecement has been introduced, place the stopper in the flask androll the flask in an inclined position (Note 2), or gently whirl itin a horizontal circle, so as to free the cement f

20、rom air until nofurther air bubbles rise to the surface of the liquid. If a properamount of cement has been added, the level of the liquid willbe in its final position at some point of the upper series ofgraduations. Take the final reading after the flask has beenimmersed in the water bath in accord

21、ance with 4.4.4.4 Immerse the flask in a constant-temperature water bathfor sufficient periods of time in order to avoid flask temperaturevariations greater than 0.2C between the initial and the finalreadings.5. Calculation5.1 The difference between the first and the final readingsrepresents the vol

22、ume of liquid displaced by the mass ofcement used in the test.5.2 Calculate the cement density, r, as follows:rMg/m3! 5rg/cm3! 5 mass of cement, g/displaced volume, cm3NOTE 4The displaced volume in millilitres is numerically equal to thedisplaced volume in cubic centimetres.NOTE 5Density in megagram

23、s per cubic metre (Mg/m3) is numeri-cally equal to grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm3). Calculate the cementdensity, r, to three decimal places and round to the nearest 0.01 Mg/m3.NOTE 6In connection with proportioning and control of concretemixtures, density may be more usefully expressed as specifi

24、c gravity, thelatter being a dimensionless number. Calculate the specific gravity asfollows: Sp gr = cement density/water density at 4C (at 4C the densityof water is 1 Mg/m3(1g/cm3).6. Precision and Bias6.1 The single-operator standard deviation for portlandcements has been found to be 0.012.4Theref

25、ore, the results oftwo properly conducted tests by the same operator on the samematerial should not differ by more than 0.03.6.2 The multilaboratory standard deviation for portlandcements has been found to be 0.037.4Therefore, the results oftwo properly conducted tests from two different laboratorie

26、s onsamples of the same cement should not differ by more than0.10.46.3 Since there is no accepted reference material suitable fordetermining any bias that might be associated with this testmethod, no statement on bias is being made.7.
