10、4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is intended to provide a means ofassessing the ability of a hydraulic-cement grout to retain astable volume during the stipulated testing period of 28 days,provided that the tendency to change height does not includethe effects of drying caused by evaporat
11、ion, uptake of moisture,carbonation, or exposure to temperatures outside the range 23.06 2.0 C (73 6 3 F) (Note 1). An exception is made when theoptions described in the section on test conditions are exer-cised.NOTE 1This test method does not measure the change in heightbefore hardening (see Test M

Mortars made with aggregates containing particlescoarser than the 850-m sieve may require special clearance or

Ifthe grout is made using a packaged product, proceed asfollows, unless otherwise recommende
24、d by the manufacturer.6.2.1 Use 3000 to 3500 g of dry material as required and theproportionate amount of water required for the test. Recordamounts used.6.2.2 Place mixing water in mixing bowl.6.2.3 Add dry material during the first 30-s period whilemixing at slow speed, 140 6 5 r/min.6.2.4 Continu
25、e mixing for 3 min, stopping the mixer for notover 15 s after 1 min to scrape down into the batch any groutthat may have collected on the side of the bowl.FIG. 1 Cylinder Mold with Machined (Tapered) Top EdgeNOTE 1All parts of this bridge shall be made of a noncorroding metal.NOTE 2The diameter of t

The four holes should be 25 6 1mm(1 6116 in. from the center of the cylinder as shown in Fig. 1.FIG. 2 Dimensions of Micrometer BridgeC1090 102NOTE 6If the grout contains fine aggregate, the mixing procedure formortar is ap

Complete the initial measure-ments within 3 min after completion of these operations.6.4 If it i
28、s required or desired to cast the specimen after alonger holding period, continue mixing of either the whole orremaining portion, as appropriate, at slow speed for thespecified time and the sample cast, apparatus locked, and takeinitial measurements within 3 min after completion of theseoperations.7
29、. Preparation of Apparatus7.1 Coat the exterior seams of the cylinder mold and theexterior joint between the mold and the base plate with meltedparaffin wax. Coat the interior of the cylinder mold and baseplate lightly with mineral oil (Note 7). Attach the mold to themicrometer bridge.NOTE 7The exte
30、rior of the mold and the base plate may be coatedwith paraffin wax to facilitate cleanup after completion of the test.8. Conditioning8.1 Keep the air temperature at 23 6 2C(736 3 F), anda relative humidity of not less than 50 %. Store the testspecimen at a temperature of 23 6 2 C for the duration of
31、 thetest, unless otherwise specified. When it is desired to test theheight change of material that is permitted to be used in thefield at temperatures either below or above 23 6 2 C, use suchother temperatures controlled to 62 C (3 F) throughoutinstead of 23 6 2 C. Record the temperature of the mixi
32、ngwater, other materials, and of the mixture immediately aftermixing is completed. Store the height-change apparatus in airat the desired test storage temperature within 62 C beforecasting the specimen.8.2 Protect the test specimen from loss of moisture, absorp-tion of moisture, or reaction with car
33、bon dioxide for theduration of the test. Store the specimen in the moist room or inlaboratory air described as follows: Under either condition, thespecimen shall remain protected at all times during the test for28 days except during removal of the glass plate and the takingof measurements.8.2.1 Mois
34、t Room StorageImmediately after taking theinitial measurements, cover the plunger and bridge apparatuswith a plastic bag previously fitted and cut to a length thatextends downward to the midpoint of the specimen mold toprevent water from dripping on the bridge, glass plate, orspecimen. Then carefull
35、y place the specimen in a moist roomor moist cabinet meeting the requirements of SpecificationC511.8.2.2 Laboratory Air StoragePrior to casting the testspecimen, place the entire apparatus in a prefitted plastic bagjust large enough to be gathered and tied above the plunger andbridge. Roll down or c
36、ollapse the bag so as not to interfere withthe casting operation. Immediately after taking the initialmeasurement, place a damp, but not dripping, towel around theoutside of the lower portion of the four posts supporting thebridge, inside the plastic bag. The towel shall extend upward,but not to mor
37、e than half the height of the cylinder. Gather andtie the plastic bag just above the plunger and bridge.8.2.3 Subsequent StorageIf after 28-days storage, as pre-viously described, it is desired to observe height change whileallowing some drying or carbonation, or both, to occur, removethe specimen f
38、rom the moist room, or from being protected bythe plastic bag and damp towels, exposed to air at 50 6 4%relative humidity and at the same temperature at which the testwas previously maintained.9. Procedure9.1 Place the apparatus on a smooth, horizontal surface,which is free of vibration or disturban
39、ce. Remove the top of thebridge after it has been pre-leveled parallel to the top of themold rim by using the four lower nuts.9.2 Determine consistency in accordance with Test MethodC827. Consider mixtures having a flow of less than 100 % as“stiff plastic;” those having flows between 100 and 125 % a
40、reconsidered “plastic.” A “flowable” mixture shall have a flowbetween 125 and 145 % when tested in accordance with TestMethod C827, but not less than 30 s when tested in accordancewith Test Method C939. A “fluid” mixture shall have a flow of10 to 30 s when tested in accordance with Test Method C939.
41、9.3 When testing a material that does not flow easily into themold, fill by using three equal layers, rod each layer 15 timeswith the tamping rod. When testing materials that flow easilyinto the mold, fill the mold and tap the side of the mold lightlythree times with the tamping rod. Use sufficient
42、material so thatafter consolidation the mold is slightly overfilled.9.4 Carefully place the coated surface of the glass plate ontop of the test specimen as follows: Hold the plate, coated sidedown, with the index finger placed in the center and the thumband other fingers on two opposite edges. Bring
43、 the plate, heldat an angle of approximately 45, to the beveled edge of thecylinder mold at a point 12 mm (12 in.) from the lower edge ofthe plate. Using this contact point as a fixed hinge, lower theplate in a single motion until the excess material is extrudedand full contact with the rim is estab
44、lished. Neither slide noruse the glass plate in a screeding motion, as this will eithersmear the material on the glass or cover voids, thus makingtheir detection at this time difficult. After placing the glassplate, maintain contact between the plate and the rim until theplunger and weight have been
45、 placed.9.4.1 Quickly examine the grout surface through the glassplate for voids. If there is an area larger than 3.2 mm (18 in.) indiameter which lacks contact with the plate, discard the entiretest specimen (Note 8).NOTE 8In order to keep rejected test specimens to a minimum,operators conducting t
46、his operation for the first time have found it helpfulto practice several times placing the plate on a cylinder filled with aneasily available plain mortar before starting the test.9.5 Immediately after placing the glass plate, place thepreleveled top plate of the micrometer bridge in position,tight
47、en wing nuts, and lower the plunger of the hold-downdevice until it makes contact with the top surface of the glassplate. To ensure firm contact between the plunger and the plate,place a 1.5-kg (3-lb) mass on the top of the plunger prior to thetightening of the setscrew of the plunger. Following the
48、C1090 103tightening of the setscrew, remove the mass and immediatelyinsert the depth micrometer shaft through the four holes locatedon the top plate of the bridge until the finger rests are in fullcontact with it. Turn the shaft down and determine four initialmeasurements from this surface to the to
49、p surface of the glassplate covering the cylinder mold. Make measurements to thenearest 0.02 mm (0.001 in.). Calculate the average; do notround the numerical value. While the shaft is still touching theglass plate, use a glass marker to make a circle around thecontact areas as the points at which later plate-thicknessmeasurements will be taken.9.6 Release the plunger and remove the glass plate from thetop of the test specimen 24 612 h after starting the mixing.9.7 Immediately after removal, measure the thickness of theglass plate at
