Significance
7、and Use3.1 This test method consists of two independent proce-dures: an oxide-analysis procedure that consists of two sub-procedures and an extraction procedure. Each procedure re-quires a substantial degree of chemical skill and relativelyelaborate chemical instrumentation. Except for the influence
8、 ofknown interferences, determined cement contents are normallyequal to, or slightly greater than, actual values except for theMaleic Acid procedure where results can also be significantlylow when the paste is carbonated (Note 1).NOTE 1With certain limitations, the procedure is also applicable fores
9、timating the combined content of portland cement and pozzolan or slagin concretes made with blended hydraulic cement and blends of portlandcement with pozzolans or slags. The results of this test method whenapplied to concretes made with blended cements or pozzolans depend onthe composition of the p
10、ozzolan, the age of the concrete, the extent ofreaction of the pozzolan and the fact that this test method may determineonly the portland-cement component of a blended cement. The testmethod should be applied to determination of the blended cement contentor the pozzolanic content only by use of cali
11、bration concrete samples orother information. Earlier versions of this test method can provide usefulinformation as detailed by Hime3and Minnick.44. Interferences4.1 Many constituents of concrete may interfere with theanalysis of the concrete for portland-cement content. Thefollowing limited lists o
12、f materials have been provided as aguide. The rocks, minerals or mineral admixtures listed willinterfere with the cement content determination to the extent oftheir solubility during the dissolution procedure used. Thesolubility of rocks, minerals or mineral admixtures may dependon the fineness of t
13、he test sample, the water-cement ratio of theconcrete, the extent of hydration, and the age of the concrete(extended exposure to the high pH of the concrete may affectthe solubility of some minerals).4.2 Substances Affecting Calcium Oxide Sub-procedure:1This method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM

Sampling7.1 Choose the concrete sample in accordance with thepurposes of the investigation (Note 2).NOTE 2Astandard procedure for sampling hardened concrete is givenin Practice C823 and a standard procedure for obtaining cores i
35、s given inTest Method C42/C42M.7.2 Both the sample for cement content and for density shallhave a minimum length and diameter of four times the nominalmaximum size of the aggregate (Note 3).NOTE 3A single concrete core taken through the entire depth of theconcrete is ordinarily an appropriate sample
36、. This sample may be sawedC1084 102or split lengthwise to provide samples for cement content, density, andpetrographic examination, provided that the length and thickn ess of thesplit samples for cement content and density meet the minimum sizespecified in 7.2. If the split sample would not meet the
37、 minimum sizerequirement, perform the density measurement first, and then crush theentire dry sample for cement content determination. The recommendedmass of concrete for cement content determination is 4.5 kg (10 lb). Thismass should be obtained from more than one core when the concrete depthis sma
38、ll and one core will not supply a mass of 4.5 kg (10 lb). If theconcrete sample did not have a mass of 4.5 kg (10 lb) it should be so statedin the final report for the cement content result.7.3 For cement content determination, crush the sample topass a 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve, mix thoroughly, and obt
39、ain arepresentative subsample for analysis by coning and quarteringor by riffle splitting as described in Practice C702. Thesubsample should have a mass of 0.45 kg (1 lb).8. Cement Content Procedure8.1 Oxide Analysis Procedure:8.1.1 Crush or grind the subsample prepared as described in7.3 using a ch
40、ipmunk (jaw ore crusher), a disk pulverizer, or arotary mill (rotating-puck) device, so that all of the materialpasses a 300-m (No. 50) sieve. To minimize production ofvery fine material, use several passes of the sample through theequipment, removing the portion passing the sieve beforeregrinding t
41、he remainder of the sample. Thoroughly mix byconing ten times from one paper to another.8.1.2 Dry the crushed or ground material in an oven at 105to 115 C (220 to 240 F) for 3 h and retain the sample in asealed container.8.1.3 Sub-procedure to be used:8.1.3.1 The soluble silica sub-procedure shall b
42、e performedin all cases except where a petrographic examination hasindicated there are siliceous aggregates or mineral admixturesthat will be soluble in cold hydrochloric acid.8.1.3.2 The calcium oxide sub-procedure shall also beemployed unless the aggregate contains a significant amount ofcalcareou
43、s components.8.1.3.3 All analyses shall be done in triplicate and theaverage of the three values used in calculating cement content.8.1.4 Soluble Silica Sub-procedure:8.1.4.1 Introduce 100 mL of dilute hydrochloric acid (1:3)into each of three 250-mL beakers. Cool until within the rangeof 3 to 5 C (
44、38 to 41 F), using an ice bath or electric coolingapparatus.8.1.4.2 Weigh a 2 g sample to 0.001 g and slowly, over a1-min period, add it to the cold hydrochloric acid. Maintain the3 to 5 C (38 to 41 F) temperature for a 5-min period, and stirthe mixture either continuously or at least several times
45、duringthis period (Note 4).NOTE 4Observation of the solution during the introduction of thesample may provide useful information. Considerable effervescenceindicates a substantial amount of calcite or carbonated paste. Delayedeffervescence suggests a dolomitic aggregate. Lack of effervescencesuggest
46、s the applicability of the calcium oxide sub-procedure.8.1.4.3 Decant through a Buchner-type porcelain funnelfitted snugly with two disks of a quantitative filter paper forfine precipitates, Type II, Class G filter paper. Once thefiltration has begun, take care so that the mat and accumulatedresidue
47、 do not dry completely until the filtration process iscomplete. Regulate the suction so as to maintain a rapid rate ofdripping during the greater part of the filtration. Retain as muchof the residue in the beaker as possible. Wash twice bydecantation with hot water. Save the filtrate. Transfer the f
48、ilterpaper from the funnel to the beaker containing the balance ofthe residue, being careful that no residue is lost. Add 75 mL ofhot sodium hydroxide solution (10 g/L) to the residue whilestirring, macerate the filter paper, and digest, covered, on asteam bath for 15 min. During the digestion, occa
49、sionally stirthe mixture. Filter all solids, and wash twice with hot wateruntil the filtrate is neutral to litmus. Combine the filtrates.8.1.4.4 The filtrate now contains the silica in the form ofsilicic acid, either in true solution or in suspension in thehydrochloric acid medium. To ensure analysis of only thesoluble silica, refilter any filtrate that is cloudy. (Allowing thefiltrate to stand overnight will usually permit suspended silicato settle.) The soluble silica may be analyzed by either of thefollowing procedures (1)or(2).(1) Analysis of soluble silica
