The sampling procedures described are intended for use in the procurement of samples of hydraulic cement after it has been manufactured and
19、is ready to be offered for sale. They are not intended as sampling procedures for quality control purposes during manufacturing. The testing procedures outlined cover the amount of testing to be done and provide guidance for reporting on conformance or nonconformance of cements with requirements of
20、purchase specifications. 4.2. This practice is referenced as the procedure for sampling natural cement (ASTM C10/C10M), masonry cement (ASTM C91/C91M), portland cement (M 85), blended hydraulic cement (M 240M/M 240), expansive hydraulic cement (ASTM C845/C845M), plastic (stucco) cement (ASTM C1328),
21、 mortar cement (ASTM C1329), and hydraulic cement (ASTM C1157/C1157M) based on a performance specification. 4.3. Most building codes and construction specifications require that hydraulic cement to be used in the work meet the applicable requirements of the relevant purchase specifications, such as
22、Specifications M 85, M 240M/M 240, ASTM C91/C91M, ASTM C845/C845M, ASTM C1157/C1157M, ASTM C1328, and ASTM C1329. If the code or specification requires sampling of the manufactured cement, the provisions given in Section 4.4 are applicable. Not much cement is sold on the basis of such sampling and t
23、esting. A useful discussion of sampling and testing cement is contained in ACI 225.1R. 4.4. The procedures covered in this practice should be done by or for purchasers of hydraulic cement who are using a code or specification that requires sampling and testing to determine if the samples conform to
24、the relevant acceptance specifications. The testing is done using specified methods to determine whether the samples yield test results that conform to the specification, and the tests serve as a basis for acceptance or rejection of the lot of material sampled. 4.5. It is neither intended nor requir
25、ed that all cements be tested using all the test methods referenced in Section 2. 5. KINDS AND SIZE OF SAMPLES AND BY WHOM TAKEN 5.1. A cement sample secured from a conveyor, bulk storage, or a bulk shipment in one operation shall be termed a “grab sample.” A sample obtained during a 10-min interval
26、 using an automatic sampling device that continuously samples a cement stream may also be considered a grab sample. Grab samples taken at prescribed intervals over a period of time may be combined to form a “composite sample” representative of the cement produced during that period of time. 5.2. All
27、 samples, whether grab or composite, shall have a mass of at least 5 kg 10 lb. 5.3. The purchaser may designate a representative to supervise the sampling, packing, and shipping of samples when it is so specified in the purchase contract. 5.4. Package the samples in moisture-proof, airtight containe
28、rs numbered consecutively in the order in which the samples are taken (see Note 1). The purchase contract shall state who will pay for the costs of sampling, packaging, shipping, and testing the samples. Note 1Polyvinyl chloride sample containers, upon occasion, have been found to affect the air-ent
29、raining potential of a cement sample. The same problem might be experienced with containers made from other plastics. 2016 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.

30、EQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMPLETION OF TESTS 6.1. When tests of hydraulic cement are made at a laboratory other than that of the cement manufacturer, the cement sampling schedule, sample transportation time, and sample testing schedule must be coordinated among the purchaser, manufacturer, and testing la
31、boratory so that the tests results will be available when required. 6.2. The manufacturer of the cement shall make the cement available to be sampled for testing early enough before the time the test results are needed so that at least the applicable time intervals listed in Section 6.3 exist. 6.3.
32、When this has been done, the testing laboratory shall provide test results not later than the indicated number of days after sampling: Tests Time Interval, Days T 106M/T 106 (1-day results), T 98M/T 98, T 105, T 107M/T 107, T 131, T 137, T 153, T 154, T 186; ASTM C265, C563 8 T 106M/ T 106 (3-day re
33、sults) 10 T 106M/T 106 (7-day results); ASTM C186 14 ASTM C227, C452/C452M, and C1012/C1012M (14-day results) 21 T 106M/T 106 (28-day results); ASTM C186 35 T 160 (34-day results); ASTM C157/C157M 41 ASTM C227 (56-day results) 63 ASTM C227 (91-day results) 98 7. SAMPLING 7.1. The cement may be sampl
34、ed by any of the applicable methods described in this section. 7.1.1. From the Conveyor Delivering to Bulk StorageTake one grab sample, having a mass of at least 5 kg 10 lb, at approximately 6-h intervals. 7.1.2. Transfer SamplingSample cement in storage while the cement is being transferred from on
35、e bin to another. Take one grab sample from the transfer stream for each 360 Mg 400 tons of cement, or fraction thereof, but take no less than two grab samples and combine them to produce a composite sample. 7.1.3. Other Sampling MethodsWhen neither of the above sampling methods is applicable, sampl
36、es may, when authorized by the purchaser, be taken by one of the following methods: 7.1.3.1. From Bulk Storage at Points of DischargeWithdraw cement from the discharge openings in a steady stream until sampling is completed. If a high circular silo is being sampled, take all samples from one opening
37、. If the quantity of the cement in the bin exceeds 1100 mg 1200 tons when low rectangular bins are being sampled, discharge openings employed in the sampling shall be such that for no opening shall the number of samples represent more than one-half the contents of the bin or more than 1800 mg 2000 t
38、ons. When sampling bulk storage at points of discharge, while the cement is flowing through the openings, take samples at such intervals so that at least two grab samples shall be secured for each 360 mg 400 tons in the bin or silo. 7.1.3.2. From Bulk Storage and Bulk Shipment by Means of a Slotted
39、Tube SamplerWhen desired, use a tube sampler designed for cohesive and semi-cohesive powders and designed for the depth of the cement to be sampled. An example of just one type is shown in Figure 1. Take samples from well- 2016 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Official

An example of just one type is shown in Figure 2. Take one sample from a bag in each 4.5 mg 5 tons or fraction thereof. Figure 2Tube Sampler
42、for Packaged Cement 7.1.3.4. From Bulk Shipment of Car or Truck: 1. Single ShipmentIf only one car or truck is being loaded and the loading is continuous and all from the same source, take a 5-kg 10-lb sample. If not continuous or unknown, combine five or more portions from different points in the l
43、oad to form the test sample. 2. Multiple ShipmentsWhen the shipment consists of several cars or trucks loaded from the same source and on the same day, sample the shipment at the rate of one sample for each 90 mg 100 tons of cement or fraction thereof, but take not less than two samples. Consider ce
44、ment represented by such samples as a lot, and test the samples in accordance with the procedure outlined in Section 9. 7.2. Protection of SamplesAs samples are taken, place them directly in moisture-proof airtight containers to avoid moisture absorption and aeration of the sample. If the samples ar
45、e placed in cans, fill the can completely and immediately seal. Use moisture-proof, multiple-wall paper bags or plastic bags if they are strong enough to avoid breakage, and if they can be sealed immediately after filling in such a manner as to eliminate excess air in the sample and avoid moisture a
46、bsorption and aeration of the sample. Samples shall be treated as described in Section 8.

Before testing, pass each sample through an 850-m (No. 20) sieve, or any other sieve having approximately the same size openings, to mix the sample, break up
48、 lumps, and remove foreign material. Do not include the foreign materials and hardened lumps that do not break up on sieving or brushing in the sample to be tested. Store the cement in airtight moisture-proof containers to prevent aeration or absorption of moisture prior to test. 9. AMOUNT OF TESTIN
49、G 9.1. GeneralWhen required, the purchaser shall specify the amount of testing for the following specification-specific requirements: 9.1.1. Heat of Hydration of Hydraulic Cement (ASTM C186) for optional limits specified in Specifications M 85, M 240M/M 240, and ASTM C1157/C1157M; 9.1.2.
