Summary of Test Method4.1 Sufficient water is added to the cement that is beingtested to produce a paste of normal consistency. A specimen ismolded from t

10、his paste and is tested for time of setting bymeans of the Gillmore initial and final needles. The initial timeof setting is the time required for the test specimen to bear theinitial Gillmore needle without appreciable indentation, whilethe time required for the test specimen to bear the finalGillm

11、ore needle without appreciable indentation is the finaltime of setting.5. Significance and Use5.1 The purpose of this test method is to establish whethera cement complies with a specification limit on Gillmore timeof setting.6.

Procedure10.1 Preparation of Cement Paste:Obtain the cement paste used for determination of the timeof setting from one of the following methods:10.1.1 Prepare a new batch of paste by mixing 650 g ofcement with the percentage of mixing wa

22、ter required fornormal consistency (Test Method C 187), following the proce-dure described in Practice C 305.10.1.2 At the option of the tester, use the paste remainingfrom the batch used for the autoclave expansion specimen (TestMethod C 151) or from the normal consistency determination(Test Method

23、 C 187).10.2 Molding Test SpecimenFrom the cement paste pre-pared as described in 10.1, make a pat with a flat top and thesides tapering to a thin edge on a plane non-absorptive plate,conforming to the dimensions and tolerances in Fig. 1 (a). Inmolding the pat, flatten the cement paste first on the

24、plate andthen form the pat by drawing the trowel from the outer edgetoward the center, then flattening the top. After making, placethe pat in the moist cabinet or moist room and allow it toremain there except when the determinations of time of settingare being made.10.3 Time of Setting Determination

25、Determine the time ofsetting by holding the needle in a vertical position and lightlyapplying it to the surface of the pat.10.3.1 Using the Initial Gillmore needle, determine theGillmore Initial time of setting end point to be the firstpenetration measurement that does not mark the specimensurface w

26、ith a complete circular impression. Verify Initial setby obtaining two additional penetration measurements ondifferent areas of the specimen surface. Verification measure-ments must be obtained within 90 s of the first “initial set”measurement. The elapsed time, in minutes, between the timeof contac

27、t of cement and mixing water and the end pointdetermined above is the Gillmore initial time of setting.10.3.2 Using the Final Gillmore needle, determine theGillmore Final time of setting end point to be the firstpenetration measurement that does not mark the specimensurface with a complete circular

28、impression. Verify Final set byobtaining two additional penetration measurements on differentareas of the specimen surface. Verification measurements mustbe obtained within 90 s of the first “final set” measurement.The elapsed time, in minutes, between the time of contact ofcement and mixing water a
