The tamping face of the tampershall be flat and at right angles to the length of the tamper.4.5 Apparatus for Demolding SpecimensApparatus simi-lar to that described in the Apparatus section of Test MethodC157/C157M,

20、 may be found useful for demolding specimens.4.6 Weights and Weighing DevicesScales used shall com-ply with Specification C1005.4.7 Glass Graduate that conforms to the requirements ofTest Method C109/C109M.4.8 Mixer, Bowl, and PaddleThe mixer shall be an elec-trically driven mechanical mixer of the

Temperature and Humidity5.1 The temperature of the air in the vicinity of the mixingoperation, the

22、 dry materials, mixing water, molds, base plates,mixing bowl, moist closet or moist room, and storage watershall not vary from 73.4F (23C) by more than 63F(61.7C).5.2 The relative humidity of the laboratory shall be not lessthan 50 %. The moist closet or moist room shall provide arelative humidity o

23、f not less that 95 %.6. Graded Standard Sand6.1 Sand used shall comply with the graded sand require-ment of Specification C778.Passing Sieve Percentage RetainedNo. 100 (150-m) 98 2No. 50 (300-m) 72 5No. 30 (600-m) 2 2No. 16 (1.18-mm) noneNOTE 1Segregation of Graded SandThe graded standard sandshould

24、 be handled in such a manner as to prevent segregation, sincevariations in the grading of the sand cause variations in the consistency ofthe mortar. In emptying sacks of sand into bins or in scooping sand out ofbins or sacks, care should be exercised to prevent the formation of moundsof sand or crat

25、ers in the sand, down the slopes of which the coarserparticles will roll. Bins should be of sufficient size to permit theseprecautions. Devices for drawing the sand from bins by gravity should notbe used.7. Test Specimen7.1 The test specimen shall bea2by2by10-in. prismhaving a 10-in. gage length, or

26、 a 50 by 50 by 250-mm prismhaving a 250-mm gage length. At least two specimens shall beprepared for each test.Dimension, in. (mm) Tolerance, in.

27、f Specimen Molds andRestraining Cage8.1 Install the cap nuts firmly in place on the ends of therestraining rods and measure the restraining rods for lengthwhile they are at a temperature of 73.4 6 1F (23.0 6 0.5C).8.2 The edges of the end plates of the restraining cage thatcontact the sides and bott

28、om of the mold shall be thinlycovered with a heavy mineral oil or light cup grease such aspetrolatum. After assembly of the molds, place a restrainingcage in each compartment. Seal the contact lines between theouter sides and base plate of the molds with paraffin ormicro-crystalline wax. Thinly cove

29、r the interior faces of themolds with mineral oil and remove any oil or grease from therestraining cage rod and end plates.9. Proportioning and Mixing of Mortars9.1 Proportion the standard mortar by using one part ofcement to 2.75 parts of graded standard sand by mass. Mix800 g of cement, 2200 g of

30、graded standard sand, and 400 mLof water to produce a batch sufficient for two test specimens.9.2 Mix in accordance with the procedure for mixingmortars given in Practice C305. Upon completion of mixing,shake the mixing paddle into the mixing bowl to remove excessmortar.10. Molding Specimens10.1 Sta

31、rt molding specimens immediately after completionof mixing. Place the mortar in the mold in two layers with thefirst layer just covering the restraining rod and the second layerslightly overfilling the mold. Compact each layer by tamping.Work the mortar into the corners, around the restraining rod,w

32、ithout striking the rod, and along the surfaces of the moldwith the tamper until a homogeneous specimen is obtained.After the top layer has been compacted, strike-off the mortarflush with the top of the mold, and smooth the surface with afew strokes of the trowel.11. Curing of Specimens11.1 Immediat

33、ely after completion of molding, cover thespecimens with a polyethylene sheet, or other suitable materialfor preventing loss or gain of moisture, at the surface of thespecimens. The cover should make contact with the surface ofthe mortar. Place the specimens in the moist room or moistcabinet.11.2 Re

34、move the specimens from the molds at an age of 6614 h after the addition of water to the cement during themixing operation (Note 2). Particular care must be exercised inthis operation in order not to damage the specimens because oftheir low strength at this age. It is preferable to use thedemolding

35、devices referred to in 4.5 for freeing specimensfrom the base and side plates.NOTE 2At this time comparator readings may be made. Althoughthese readings may differ slightly from the initial reading made on therestraining rod prior to molding the specimen, it can serve as a check onthe initial readin

36、g which should be used as the basis for calculating thelength change.11.3 Cure the specimens in lime-saturated water at 73.4 63.0F (23.0 6 1.7C) until they have reached an age of 7 days6 1 h, including the period in the molds, except that thetemperature of the curing water shall be 73.4 6 1F (23.0 6

37、0.5C) for at least the last 15 min. At the end of this period,remove the specimens from the water one at a time, wipe witha damp cloth, and immediately make comparator readings withthe cap nuts in place.11.4 Return the specimens to curing in lime-saturated waterat 73.4 6 3.0F (23.0 6 1.7C) until the

38、y have reached an ageof 28 days including the period in the molds. At the end of thecuring period, make comparator readings immediately after thespecimens have been subjected to about 15 min of storage inwater at 73.4 6 1.0F (23.06 0.5C) and in the same manneras described in 11.3.12. Calculation12.1

39、 Calculate the expansion or shrinkage at any age asfollows:Ex5Lx2 Li10 250!3100 (1)where:Ex= expansion at x age, %,Lx= comparator reading of specimen at x age referencebar comparator reading, in. (mm), andLi= initial comparator reading of restraining rod refer-ence bar comparator reading, in. (mm).1

40、3. Report13.1 Report the following information:13.1.1 Number of specimens for each condition and datemolded,13.1.2 Source and identification of cement.13.1.3 Age of specimen for each observation for lengthchange,13.1.4 Length-change data, expressed as linear expansion orcontraction based on the leng

41、th of the specimen at time ofmolding shall be reported as percent change dimension to thenearest 0.001 %, and13.1.5 Any other pertinent information.14. Precision and Bias414.1 Precision:14.1.1 Within Batch PrecisionThe standard deviation oftwo bars made from the same batch and tested together wasfou

42、nd to be 0.00276 %. Therefore two bars made from thesame batch should not differ from each other by more than0.008 % length change.514.1.2 Single Operator PrecisionThe single operator stan-dard deviation has been found to be 0.0038 at seven and twentyeight days age, based on the average of two bars.

43、 Therefore the4Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting Research Report RR:C01-1001.5These numbers represent, respectively, the (1s) and (d2s) limits as described inPractice C670.C806 183results of two properly conducted tests by the same op

44、erator onthe same material should not differ by more than 0.011 %length change.514.1.3 Multilaboratory PrecisionThe multilaboratorystandard deviation has been found to be 0.0093 at seven andtwenty eight days age, based on the average of two bars.Therefore the results of two properly conducted tests

45、on thesame material in two different laboratories should not differ bymore than 0.026 % length change.514.2 BiasA bias statement cannot be prepared due to thefact that absolute standards are not available.15.
