Test Specimens5.1 Both portions from each prism broken in flexure shall be

19、d the specimen (Note 1).Center the pedestal usually provided for breaking 50 by100-mm cylinders on the base bearing block of the machine,and center the bearing plate assembly on top of this pedestal. Ifthe testing machine has no provisions for automatic accuratecentering of a pedestal exactly below
20、the center of its upperspherical bearing head, a hardened steel cylinder of suitablediameter and height and with parallel plane end faces may beused, provided that the bearing plate assembly is centeredaccurately below the center of the upper bearing head after thespecimen has been placed in proper
21、position in the bearingplate assembly. Apply the specimen aligning guide to theoutside of one of the aligning plates of the bearing plateassembly, with the lugs at each end resting on or slightly abovethe edge of the bearing face of the bottom plate. Turn thespecimen on its side with respect to its
22、position as molded andplace it in the device with the bottom as molded in contact withthe aligning lugs, holding the aligning guide against thealigning plate firmly with one hand. Then remove the aligningguide without disturbing the position of the specimen andapply the load in accordance with the P
23、rocedure section of TestMethod C109/C109M. The testing of the broken portions asmodified cubes shall follow breaking in flexure within 10 minfor 24-h specimens and within 30 min for all other specimens.NOTE 1Modified Cube FacesResults much lower than the truestrength will be obtained by loading face
24、s of the modified cube that are nottruly plane surfaces. It is essential, therefore, that molds be keptscrupulously clean, as otherwise large irregularities in the surfaces willoccur. Instruments for cleaning molds should always be softer than themetal in the molds to prevent wear. In case grinding
25、of modified cubefaces is necessary, it can be accomplished best by rubbing the specimen ona sheet of fine emery paper or cloth glued to a plane surface, using onlymoderate pressure. Since such grinding is tedious for more than a fewthousandths of an inch or hundredth of a millimetre, it is recommend
26、edthat where more than this is found necessary, the specimen be discarded.7. Calculation7.1 Record the total maximum load indicated by the testingmachine and calculate the compressive strength in megapascalsto the nearest 0.1 MPa, as follows:Sc5 0.00062P (1)where:Sc= compressive strength, MPa, andP
27、= total maximum load, N.8. Faulty Specimens and Retests8.1 Specimens that are manifestly faulty or that result instrengths differing by more than 10 % from the average valueof all test specimens made from the same sample and tested atthe same period shall not be considered in determining thecompress
28、ive strength. After discarding strength values, if lessthan two strength values are left for determining the compres-sive strength at any given period a retest shall be made.NOTE 2Reliable strength results depend upon careful observance ofall of the specified requirements and procedures. Erratic res
29、ults at a giventest period indicate that some of the requirements and procedures have notbeen carefully observed; for example, those covering the testing of themodified cubes, as prescribed in Sections 5 and 6. Specimens exhibitingoblique fractures on breaking, due to improper centering in the compr
30、es-sion machine or to lateral movement of one of the testing machine headsduring loading, will often indicate lower strengths than specimensshowing a normal pyramidal fracture.9. Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionThe following precision statements are ap-plicable when a test result is the average of co
31、mpressivestrength tests of six modified cubes (using portions of prismsbroken in flexure) molded from a single batch of mortar andtested at the same age.NOTE 3The test results used to calculate precision statistics weretaken from tests on Type I, IA, and IS cements tested at 3, 7, and 28 days,and on
32、 a Type III cement tested at 1, 3, and 7 days.9.1.1 Multilaboratory PrecisionThe multilaboratory coef-ficient of variation has been found to be 6.3 %. Therefore,results of properly conducted tests of single batches by twodifferent laboratories should not differ by more than 17.8 % oftheir average (N
33、ote 4).NOTE 4These numbers represent, respectively, the (1s%) and (d2s%)limits as described in Practice C670.9.1.2 Single-Laboratory PrecisionThe single-laboratorycoefficient of variation has been found to be 3.5 %. Therefore,results of two properly conducted tests of single batches ofmortar made wi
34、th the same materials either on the same day orwithin the same week should not differ from each other bymore than 9.9 % of their average (Note 4).9.2 BiasThe procedure in this test method has no biasbecause the value of compressive strength is defined in termsof the test method.10.
