20、ction and ambient environmental conditions. Many ofthese properties have defied exact laboratory measurement.The mason can best assess workability by observing theresponse of the mortar to the trowel and the masonry unit. Forfurther discussion on workability, see the Appendix of Speci-fication C270.
21、4. Classification4.1 Admixtures are classified by their effect on the perfor-mance characteristics of conventional masonry mortars. Ad-mixed mortars are classified by their modified properties, ascompared to a reference mortar. The following classificationsare recognized:4.1.1 Bond Enhancer.4.1.2 Wo
22、rkability Enhancer.4.1.3 Set Accelerator.4.1.4 Set Retarder.4.1.5 Water Repellent.5. Materials5.1 Cementitious MaterialsCementitious materials shallconform to those allowed in Specification C270 for proportionspecification mortars.5.2 SandThe fine aggregate used in the tests shall conformto the requ
23、irements of Specification C144. The sand used inpreparing the mortars for all tests shall be from the samedelivery.6. Chemical Composition6.1 The admixture shall not react adversely with embeddedor attached materials common to masonry.NOTE 3Currently, there is no standard test method for determining
24、 thecorrosion potential of masonry mortars toward embedded and attachedmaterials. Nonetheless, the admixture shall not be offered for sale if themanufacturer has evidence that the admixture does react adversely withembedded or attached materials common to masonry.6.2 At the maximum recommended dosag
25、e, the mortaradmixture shall add not more than 65 ppm (0.0065 %) water-soluble chloride, or 90 ppm (0.0090 %) acid-soluble chlorideto the mortars overall chloride content as determined bytesting of the reference and admixed mortars in accordancewith 9.1.1.7. Physical Properties7.1 All modified mason
26、ry mortars shall comply with theproperty specification requirements of Specification C270.Inaddition, the admixed mortars shall conform to all of thespecific classification requirements in Table 1 for which theadmixture is obtaining qualification. Unless more specimensare required by a specific test
27、 method, a minimum of threespecimens shall be tested and the results averaged. These resultaverages shall meet the requirements of this section.7.2 Admixture compliance tests shall be the responsibilityof the manufacturer of the admixture. These compliance testsshall be completed within the past fiv

In addition, the aggregate shall meet the requirements in5.2.8.2 The corresponding admixed mortars shall have the samecomposition as the reference mortars but also shall include theadmixture, and the water content
30、 shall be adjusted to yield theflow or penetration appropriate for each test method.
