Hazards6.1 WarningFresh hydraulic cementitious mixtures are caustic and may cause chemical burns to skin and tissue uponprolonged exposure.57. Preparing Mortars7.1 Make mortars as described in Test Method C109/C109M, that is,
32、 1 part cement to 2.75 parts of sand by mass. Use awater-cement ratio by mass of 0.485 for all non-air-entraining portland cements and 0.460 for all air-entraining portland cements.Use a water-cement ratio by mass of 0.485 for non-air-entraining portland-pozzolan (IP)ASTM C595 and portland-blast fur

For blendsmixtures of portland cement with a pozzolan or slag, use a water-cement ratio thatdevelops a flow within 65 of that of the portland-cement mortar at a water-cement ratio of 0.485.8. Specimen Molds and Initial Curing Container8.1 Prepare the specimen mold
34、s in accordance with the requirements of Specification C490 except the interior surfaces of themold shall be covered with a release agent. A release agent will be acceptable if it serves as a parting agent without affecting thesetting of the cement and without leaving any residue that will inhibit t
35、he penetration of water into the specimen.NOTE 1TFE-fluorocarbon tape complies with the requirements for a mold release agent.8.2 Prepare the Curing Container:8.2.1 Prior to molding the test specimen, prepare the initial curing container by placing risers on the bottom of the containerto elevate mol
36、ds above the intended water level. Fill the container with preheated water at 35 6 3C (95 6 5F), making sure thatthe water does not exceed the top of the risers.9. Procedure9.1 Molding and Initial Curing of SpecimensMold the test bars in accordance withTest Method C157/C157M. Mold the cubesin accord
37、ance with Test Method C109/C109M. A set of specimens to test one cementitious product consists of 6 bars and up to21 cubes (Note 2). Immediately after molding cover the molds with a rigid steel, glass, or plastic plate, and place the mold in thecuring container on top of the risers. Cover the contai
38、ner with a lid and seal the lid so as to prevent evaporation and place thecontainer into an oven at 3563C (9565F) for 2312 h630 min.At 2312 h630 min, remove molds from container and demoldthe specimens.NOTE 2The set of cubes consists of 21 cubes to be tested as described herein when significant info
39、rmation on the strength development rate is notavailable. When information is available (as for example, from the use of the procedures of Test Method C917) that would justify making fewer cubes,only those needed to confirm the time the mortar achieves 20.0 6 1.0 MPa 3000 6 150 psi are needed.9.2 Su
40、bsequent Curing and Preparation for TestAfter demolding, store all bars and cubes, except the two to be tested, in acuring tank of saturated limewater at 23.0 6 2.0 C 2.0C 73.5 6 3.5 F. 3.5F. Test two cubes in compression in accordancewith Test Method C109/C109M after demolding when the specimens ha
41、ve cooled to ambient temperature under moist cloths. Ifthe mean strength of the two cubes is 20 MPa 2850 psi or more, observe and record comparator readings in accordance withSpecification C490 and as prescribed in the section on Measurements of Length Change and place all the bars in the sulfatesol
42、ution. If 20 MPa 2850 psi is not achieved, store the demolded cubes and mortar bars in the curing tank and test additionalcubes (see Note 3). Predict from the first two cubes when a compressive strength of at least 20 MPa 2850 psi will be reached.Verify the prediction, and at that time observe and r
43、ecord comparator readings and place all the bars in the sulfate solution (Note3). This measurement is designated as the initial length. The storage temperature and test temperature shall be 23.0 6 2.0 C 2.0C73.5 6 3.5F.NOTE 3If the value for strength at 24 h is less than 20.0 MPa 2850 psi and additi
44、onal testing on the same day is not possible, or, is unlikely to yielda value over 20.0 MPa 2850 psi and the strength is over 21 MPa 3150 psi when tested early the next day, it is not necessary to remake the batch. Ifthe two cubes do not meet the required strength, continue curing the cubes and bars

47、n C511.9.4 Measurements of Length ChangeAt 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 13, and 15 weeks after the bars are placed in the sulfate solution, testthem for length change using the length comparator in accordance with Specification C490. Review the data at 15 weeks. Makethe subsequent measurements at 4, 6, 9, and 12
48、months. If at any time the rate of change between readings is great, insert other5 See Manual of Cement Testing, Section on Safety, Annual Book of ASTM Standards, Vol 04.01.C1012/C1012M 153readings as needed to ensure the intervals are short enough to permit observing and reporting the behavior of t

Ifcompliance with ACI C201-2R-01 Class 3 exposure is required, measure the bars at 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 months (Note 6).NOTE 6ACI C201-2R-01 requires an 18-month limit for Class 3 exposure.9.4.1 Details of Measurement of Bars for Length Change:9.4.1.1 Clean the hole in the base of the comparator into which the gauge stud on the lower end of the bar fits (this hole tendsto collect water and sand and should be cleaned after every reading).
