Summary of Test Method3.1 This test method consists of monitoring the
8、 amount ofelectrical current passed through 50-mm thick slices of100-mm nominal diameter cores or cylinders during a 6-hperiod. A potential difference of 60 V dc is maintained acrossthe ends of the specimen, one of which is immersed in asodium chloride solution, the other in a sodium hydroxidesoluti
9、on. The total charge passed, in coulombs, has been foundto be related to the resistance of the specimen to chloride ionpenetration.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method covers the laboratory evaluation of theelectrical conductance of concrete samples to provide a rapidindication of their resis
10、tance to chloride ion penetration. Inmost cases the electrical conductance results have shown goodcorrelation with chloride ponding tests, such as AASHTOT 259, on companion slabs cast from the same concretemixtures (Refs 1-5).4.2 This test method is suitable for evaluation of materialsand material p
11、roportions for design purposes and research anddevelopment.4.3 Sample age has significant effects on the test results,depending on the type of concrete and the curing procedure.Most concretes, if properly cured, become progressively andsignificantly less permeable with time.4.4 This test method was
12、developed originally for evalua-tions of alternative materials, but in practice its use has evolvedto applications such as quality control and acceptance testing.Factors such as ingredient materials used in concrete mixturesand the method and duration of curing test specimens affect theresults of th
13、is test (See Note 1). When this method is used formixture qualification and acceptance testing, it is imperativethat the curing procedures and the age at time of testing beclearly specified.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcrete and Concrete Aggregates and is th

17、959, United States.NOTE 1When using this test for determining acceptability of concretemixtures, statistically-based criteria and test age for prequalification, or foracceptance based on jobsite samples, should be stated in project specifi-cations. Acceptance criteria for this test should consider t
18、he sources ofvariability affecting the results and ensure balanced risk between supplierand purchaser. The anticipated exposure conditions and time before astructure will be put into service should be considered. One approach toestablishing criteria is discussed in Ref 6.4.5 Table X1.1 in Appendix X
19、1 provides a qualitativerelationship between the results of this test and the chloride ionpenetrability of concrete.4.6 Care should be taken in interpreting results of this testwhen it is used on surface-treated concretes, for example,concretes treated with penetrating sealers. The results from this
20、test on some such concretes indicate low resistance to chlorideion penetration, while 90-day chloride ponding tests on com-panion slabs show a higher resistance.4.7 The details of the test method apply to 100-mm nominaldiameter specimens. This includes specimens with actualdiameters ranging from 95
21、to 100 mm. Other specimendiameters may be tested with appropriate changes in theapplied voltage cell design (see 7.5 and Fig. 1).4.7.1 For specimen diameters other than 95 mm, the testresult value for total charge passed must be adjusted followingthe procedure in 11.2. For specimens with diameters l
22、ess than95 mm, particular care must be taken in coating and mountingFIG. 1 Applied Voltage Cell (construction drawing)C1202 122the specimens to ensure that the conductive solutions are ableto contact the entire end areas during the test.5. Interferences5.1 This test method can produce misleading res
23、ults whencalcium nitrite has been admixed into a concrete. The resultsfrom this test on some such concretes indicate higher coulombvalues, that is, lower resistance to chloride ion penetration,than from tests on identical concrete mixtures (controls)without calcium nitrite. However, long-term chlori
24、de pondingtests indicate the concretes with calcium nitrite were at least asresistant to chloride ion penetration as the control mixtures.NOTE 2Other admixtures might affect results of this test similarly.Long term ponding tests are recommended if an admixture effect issuspected.5.2 Since the test r
25、esults are a function of the electricalresistance of the specimen, the presence of reinforcing steel orother embedded electrically conductive materials may have asignificant effect. The test is not valid for specimens containingreinforcing steel positioned longitudinally, that is, providing acontinu
26、ous electrical path between the two ends of the speci-men.6.

46、ith Practice C192/C192M for specimensprepared in the laboratory or in accordance with the standardcuring procedure of Practice C31/C31M for specimens pre-pared in the field.8.2.3 Accelerated Moist CuringProvide 7 days of moistcuring in accordance with Practice C192/C192M for specimensprepared in the
47、 laboratory or in accordance with the standardcuring procedure of Practice C31/C31M for specimens pre-pared in the field. After 7 days of moist curing, immerse thespecimens for 21 days in lime-saturated water at 38.0 6 2.0 C.NOTE 5The 56-day moist curing period is to allow for some supple-mentary ce
48、mentitious materials to develop potential properties because oftheir slower rate of hydration. Concrete containing supplementary cemen-titious materials may continue to show reductions in results of this testbeyond 56 days, and in some cases, it may be appropriate to test at laterages, such as 3 mon
49、ths.NOTE 6The accelerated moist curing procedure has been found usefulin providing an earlier indication of potential property development withslower hydrating supplementary cementitious materials (7). Because thetwo different curing methods may not provide the same results, thespecifier of the test may require a correlation between results for extendedmoist cured and accelerated moist cured specimens and establish appro-priate acceptance criteria when the accelerated moist curing procedure isused or permitted.
