27、s specification. 4.2. The trade name, source, character of the material, and means for the quantitative determination of the addition in the finished cement shall be furnished by the sponsor, manufacturer, or supplier of the addition, and the information shall form a part of the record of tests of t
28、he addition. If the processing addition is a liquid, the specific gravity and percent water content shall also be part of the record. If the processing addition is an inorganic solid, the allowable ranges of chemical analysis of the addition shall also be part of the record. 4.2.1. The specific grav

The chemical analysis in Section 7.2.1 shall be within the ranges given in Section 4.2. 4.3. Processing additions shall be evaluated by comparing cements containing the addition to othe
30、rwise identical cements from the same source without the addition, or containing one processing addition that has been shown to comply with this specification using control cements without any additions, hereinafter designated the “control” cement. 4.4. The amount of the processing addition to be in
31、terground with the cement for evaluation purposes shall be determined by the sponsor of the addition. 2013 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved. Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-3a M 327-4 AASHTO 4.4.1. The amount of the additio
32、n in the cement containing the addition and showing compliance with the requirements of this specification shall be determined quantitatively by means of the quantitative determination required by Section 4.2. 4.4.2. The amount of addition, so determined, shall be used to state the amount of additio
33、n that shows compliance with this specification. 4.4.3. When tests on cements containing the addition show compliance with the requirements of this specification, the addition in cement may be used in any amount up to the maximum amount showing compliance. 4.5. The cement produced for evaluation pur
34、poses with the processing addition shall comply with the appropriate specifications M 85 or M 240M/M 240 and ASTM C 845/C 845M or C 1157/C 1157M, except that it contains the addition under test. The effect of the addition on the properties of the cement shall also be within the following limits: 4.5
35、.1. The percentage of water by mass of cement required for normal consistency of cement containing the addition shall not exceed that required by the corresponding control cement by more than 1.0 percent. For those cements not limited to a fixed water requirement, the percentage of water by mass of
36、cement required for standard consistency of the mortar used for strength determinations as described in Section 4.5.4 shall not be increased by more than 2.0 percent by the addition over that required for the control cement. 4.5.2. The time of setting of cement containing the addition shall not vary
37、 from the time of setting of the corresponding control cement by more than 1 h or 50 percent, whichever is the lesser. 4.5.3. The autoclave expansion of cement containing the addition, expressed as a percentage change in length, shall not be more than 0.10 percent greater than that of the correspond
38、ing control cement. 4.5.4. The compressive strength of mortar cubes made with cement containing the addition, in accordance with T 106M/T 106, and tested at 1, 3, 7, and 28 days for all types, shall be compared with strengths obtained with the control cement at similar ages. The grand average of the
39、se individual strength percentages shall not be less than 95 percent of the control cement values. It is required that cubes for companion cements be made and tested on the same days, with storage of specimens side by side in the same section of the moist cabinet during the 24-h curing period. Retes
40、ting of companion cements on the same, or a following, day is required in order to provide six, rather than three, test specimens for each cement and age of test. 4.5.5. The ultimate drying shrinkage of mortar made with cement containing the addition shall not be more than 0.025 percent greater than
41、 that of similar mortar made with the corresponding control cement when tested in accordance with ASTM C 596. 4.5.6.

Duplication is a violation of applicable law.TS-3a M 327-5 AASHTO obtained with the control cement.
45、The air-entraining addition used shall meet the requirements of ASTM C 226. 4.6. Processing additions that provide maximum effects as grinding aids or pack set inhibitors may increase cement flowability to a point where mill retention time is reduced sufficiently to affect significantly the particle
46、 size distribution of the resulting cement and its physical-chemical properties. Mill retention times are controllable by mechanical means in full-scale grinding mills. Hence, the true physical-chemical effects of the test additive may be determined for acceptance purposes by making supplementary la
47、boratory or pilot-mill grinds in instances where full-scale tests have shown mill retention time reductions to have significant effects on the properties of the resulting cement. 4.7. In the event that the effect of the addition on the properties of cement are determined on the basis of laboratory o
48、r pilot mill grinds, this fact shall be entered in the report specified in Section 13, and the specific tests shall be indicated. 5. SAMPLING CEMENT 5.1. Samples of the plant-ground cement shall be taken from the product stream during grinding. Prior to the start of sampling a given lot of cement, t
49、he mill shall have run for 4 h or long enough to have reached equilibrium under the general conditions that are to govern during the sampling period. Note 1Records should be kept as to the rate and continuity of feed of the addition, the form in which the addition is used, strength of solution (if applicable), magnitude of circulating loads, mill discharge temperature, and feed rate of clinker and gypsum. Product fineness should be determined during the grinding immediately subsequent to sampling. 5.2. As the
