1、Designation: C494/C494M 16C494/C494M 17Standard Specification forChemical Admixtures for Concrete1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C494/C494M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revi

2、sion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers materials for

3、use as chemical admixtures to be added to hydraulic-cement concrete mixtures in thefield for the purpose or purposes indicated for the eight types as follows:1.1.1 Type AWater-reducing admixtures,1.1.2 Type BRetarding admixtures,1.1.3 Type CAccelerating admixtures,1.1.4 Type DWater-reducing and reta

4、rding admixtures,1.1.5 Type EWater-reducing and accelerating admixtures,1.1.6 Type FWater-reducing, high range admixtures,1.1.7 Type GWater-reducing, high range, and retarding admixtures, and1.1.8 Type SSpecific performance admixtures.1.2 This specification stipulates tests of an admixture with suit

5、able concreting materials as described in 11.1 11.3 or withcement, pozzolan, aggregates, and an air-entraining admixture proposed for specific work (11.4). Unless specified otherwise by thepurchaser, the tests shall be made using concreting materials as described in 11.1 11.3.NOTE 1It is recommended

6、 that, whenever practicable, tests be made using the cement, pozzolan, aggregates, air-entraining admixture, and the mixtureproportions, batching sequence, and other physical conditions proposed for the specific work (11.4) because the specific effects produced by chemicaladmixtures may vary with th

7、e properties and proportions of the other ingredients of the concrete. For instance, Types F and G admixtures may exhibitmuch higher water reduction in concrete mixtures having higher cement factors than that listed in 12.1.1.Mixtures having a high range water reduction generally display a higher ra

8、te of slump loss. When high-range admixtures are used to impart increasedworkability (6 to 8-in. slump 150 to 200mm), the effect may be of limited duration, reverting to the original slump in 30 to 60 min depending on factorsnormally affecting rate of slump loss. The use of chemical admixtures to pr

9、oduce high-slump (flowing) concrete is covered by SpecificationC1017/C1017M.NOTE 2The purchaser should ensure that the admixture supplied for use in the work is equivalent in composition to the admixture subjected to testunder this specification (see Section 6, Uniformity and Equivalence).NOTE 3Admi

10、xtures that contain relatively large amounts of chloride may accelerate corrosion of prestressing steel. Compliance with the requirementsof this specification does not constitute assurance of acceptability of the admixture for use in prestressed concrete.1.3 This specification provides for three lev

11、els of testing.1.3.1 Level 1During the initial approval stage, proof of compliance with the performance requirements defined in Table 1demonstrates that the admixture meets the requirements of this specification. Admixtures (except for Types B, C, E, and S) shallqualify for provisional compliance wh

12、en the physical requirements and any of the alternative compressive strength requirementsin Table 1 are met. If subsequent test results at six months or one year fail to meet the standard requirement of 100 % of referencestrength, the compliance of the admixture to this standard is withdrawn and all

13、 users of the admixture shall be notified immediately.Uniformity and equivalence tests of Section 6 shall be carried out to provide results against which later comparisons can be made(see Note 4).NOTE 4Allowing for provisional compliance while retaining longer term compressive strength requirements

14、promotes more rapid qualification of newmaterials, but also provides assurance that new admixture technologies will not exhibit unexpected longer term performance. The alternative compressivestrength requirements in Table 1 are based on statistical analysis of 103 Specification C494/C494M evaluation

15、 tests. The alternative requirementscorrespond to a 99 % probability of passing subsequent test age requirements.21 This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 on Concrete and Concrete Aggregates and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee C09.23 onChemical Admixtures.Cur

The limited retesting will cover physical properties and performance of the admixture.5.2.1 The physical properties retesting shall consist of uniformity and equivalence tests for infrared analysis, residue

41、 by ovendrying and specific gravity.5.2.2 The performance property retesting shall consist of water content of fresh concrete, setting time and compressive strengthat 3, 7 and 28 days. Purchasers having special requirements are allowed to require additional tests currently in this standard.5.3 At th

42、e request of the purchaser, when the admixture is to be used in prestressed concrete, the manufacturer shall state inwriting the chloride content of the admixture and whether or not chloride has been added during its manufacture.5.4 At the request of the purchaser, the manufacturer shall provide dat

43、a to substantiate the specific performance characteristic(s)stated by the manufacturer for a Type S admixture.5.5 Tests for uniformity and equivalence, as indicated in Section 6, shall be made on the initial sample and the results retainedfor reference and comparison with the results of tests of sam

44、ples taken from elsewhere within the lot or subsequent lots ofadmixture supplied for use in the work.5.6 At the request of the purchaser, the manufacturer shall state in writing that the infrared analysis spectrum, residue by ovendrying, and specific gravity of the admixture supplied for use in the

45、work are within the limits in Section 6 when compared withthe initial sample tested under Level 1 of this specification.6. Uniformity and Equivalence6.1 When specified by the purchaser, the uniformity of a lot, or the equivalence of different lots from the same source shall beestablished by the use

46、of the following requirements:6.1.1 Infrared AnalysisThe absorption spectra of the initial sample and the test sample, obtained as specified in 18.1, shall beessentially similar.6.1.2 Residue by Oven Drying (Liquid Admixtures)When dried as specified in 18.2, the oven-dried residues of the initialsam

47、ple and of subsequent samples shall be within 612 % of the mid-point of the manufacturers stated range, but not exceedingthe manufacturers stated limits (see Note 6).NOTE 6As an example, for an admixture produced with a residue range from 27 to 35 %, the manufacturer would provide maximum acceptable

48、 limitsof 27.3 to 34.7 %, representing 612 % of the mid-point of the limits, where the mid-point is 31.0 %.6.1.3 Residue by Oven Drying (Nonliquid Admixtures)When dried as specified in 18.3, the oven-dried residues of the initialsample and of the subsequent samples shall be within a range of variati

If 10 % of the difference between the specificgravity of the initial sample and water is less than 0.01, use the value 0.01 as the maximum allowable difference. Rea
