5、od for Air-Entraining Admixtures for Con-crete3. Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 air-entraining admixture, nfor the purpose of thisspecification, a material that is used as an ingredient ofconcrete, added to the batch immediately before or during itsmixing, for th

6、e purpose of entraining air.4. General Requirements4.1 At the request of the purchaser, the manufacturer shallstate in writing that the air-entraining admixture supplied foruse in the work is essentially identical in concentration,composition, and performance to the air-entraining admixturetested un

7、der this specification.NOTE 1It is recommended that, whenever practicable, tests with theair-entraining admixture be made using all of the ingredients of theconcrete proposed for the specific work, because the effect produced bythe air-entraining admixture may vary with the properties of the otherin

8、gredients of the concrete.4.2 Requirements for establishing compositional or chemi-cal equivalence of a subsequent lot relative to a previous lotthat was subjected to quality tests and found to comply with therequirements of 5.1 shall be determined if agreed upon by thepurchaser and the manufacturer

9、. At the request of the pur-chaser, the manufacturer shall recommend appropriate testprocedures, such as infrared spectrophotometry (I.R.), pHvalue and solids content, for establishing the equivalence ofmaterials from different lots or different portions of the samelot.NOTE 2Ultraviolet light absorp

10、tion (UV) of solutions and infraredspectroscopy of dried residues have been found to be valuable for thesepurposes. The specific procedures to be employed and the criteria toestablish equivalence should be stipulated with due regard to the compo-sition and properties of the sample.4.3 At the request

11、 of the purchaser, the manufacturer shallstate in writing the chloride content of the air-entrainingadmixture and whether or not chloride was added during itsmanufacture.NOTE 3Admixtures that contain chlorides may accelerate corrosionof embedded metals.5. Optional Uniformity Requirements5.1 A series

12、 of two or more samples from a manufacturinglot will be considered sufficiently uniform to be properlycomposited into a single sample for quality testing providedthey do not differ more than the amounts indicated in 5.4.5.2 A subsequent sample or composite sample shall beconsidered in compliance wit

13、h these requirements, so long asthey differ from the original sample, tested to the requirementsof 6.1, by no more than the amounts listed in 5.4, and providedthat any additional optional, appropriate tests, such as infraredspectroscopy and ultraviolet light absorption, referred to in 4.2,also meet

14、pre-agreed requirements.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcrete and Concrete Aggregates and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC09.23 on Chemical Admixtures.Current edition approved Aug. 1, 2006.

17、d “Procedure for Residue by Oven Drying”of Test Method C 233.5.4 Allowable differences in results of uniformity determi-nations shall not exceed the following amounts:5.4.1 The manufacturer shall provide an acceptable range ofpH not to exceed a range of 3.0. The pH of samples tested shallfall within

18、 this range.5.4.2 The air content in percent of Test Method C 185mortars prepared from successive lots shall not differ by morethan 2.0 from that for the acceptance sample.5.4.3 The manufacturer shall provide acceptable limits ofresidue content not to exceed 612 % of the midpoint of thelimits. The r

19、esidue content of samples tested shall fall withinthese limits (Note 4).NOTE 4As an example, an admixture may commonly be producedwith residue content ranging from 5.0 to 6.5 %. The manufacturer wouldprovide acceptable limits of 5.06 to 6.44 %, representing 612 % of themidpoint of the limits which i

Performance Requirements6.1 The air-entraining admixture shall conform to the re-quirements in Table 1.6.1.1 Resistance to Freezing and ThawingThe relativedurability factor of concrete containing the admixture undertest shall be not less than 80. The relative durability factor shallbe ca

21、lculated as follows:DF or DF1! 5 PN/300 (1)RDF 5 DF/DF1! 3 100where:DF = durability factor of the concrete containing theadmixture under test,DF1= durability factor of the concrete containing thereference admixture,P = relative dynamic modulus of elasticity in percent-age of the dynamic modulus of e

22、lasticity at zerocycles (values of P will be 60 or greater),N = number of cycles at which P reaches 60 %, or 300if P does not reach 60 % prior to the end of the test(300 cycles), andRDF = relative durability factor.6.1.2 Length ChangeAfter 14 days of drying, the lengthchange of the concrete containi

23、ng the test admixture shall notbe more than 120 % of that of the concrete containing thereference admixture. When, after 14 days of drying, the lengthchange of the reference concrete is less than 0.030 %, thelength change of the concrete containing the test admixtureshall not be more than 0.006 perc

24、entage points greater than thatof the reference concrete.7. Sampling7.1 Opportunity shall be provided the purchaser for carefulsampling and inspection, either at the point of manufacture orat the site of the work, as specified by the purchaser.7.2 Samples shall be either “grab” or “composite” sample

25、s,as specified or required by this specification. A grab sample isone obtained in a single operation. A composite sample is oneobtained by combining three or more grab samples.7.3 For the purpose of this specification, it is recognized thatsamples will be taken for the two following reasons:7.3.1 Qu

26、ality TestsA sample taken for the purpose ofevaluating the quality of a source or lot of admixture will berequired to meet all the applicable requirements of thisspecification. Samples used to determine conformance with therequirements of this specification shall be composites of grabsamples taken f

27、rom sufficient locations to ensure that thecomposite sample will be representative of the lot.7.3.2 Uniformity TestsA sample taken for the purpose ofevaluating the uniformity of a single lot or of different lotsfrom the same source will generally be subjected to a limitednumber of tests as the resul

28、t of agreement between thepurchaser and manufacturer (see Section 4). Such samplesshall be composite samples from individual lots when differentlots from the same source are being compared. When theuniformity of a single lot is being determined, grab samplesshall be used.7.4 Liquid Air-Entraining Ad

29、mixturesLiquid admixturesshall be agitated thoroughly immediately prior to sampling.Grab samples taken for quality or uniformity tests shallrepresent not more than 9500 L (2500 gal) of admixture andshall have a volume of at least 1 L (1 qt). A minimum of threegrab samples shall be taken. Composite s

30、amples shall beprepared by thoroughly mixing the grab samples selected andthe resultant mixture sampled to provide at least 4 L (1 gal) forTABLE 1 Physical RequirementsAAir-Entraining AdmixturesTime of setting, allowable deviation from control,h:min:Initial: not more than 1:15 earliernor 1:15 laterF

43、 months, shall be retested before use whenrequested by the purchaser. It shall be rejected, if the purchaserdesires, when it fails to conform to any of the applicablerequirements of this specification.9.3 Packages or containers varying more than 5 % from thespecified weight or volume shall be reject

44、ed if the purchaserdesires. If the average weight or volume of 50 packages orcontainers taken at random is less than that specified, the entireshipment shall be rejected if the purchaser desires.10.
