(R 2008)DISCUSSIONIn the case of concrete and concrete aggregates, unlessotherwise stated, the liquid involved is water, the increase in mass isthat which does not include water adhering to the outside surface, the
18、increase in mass is expressed as a percentage of the dry mass of thebody and the body is considered to be “dry” when it has been treatedby an appropriate process to remove uncombined water, such as dryingto constant mass at a temperature between 100 and 110C.admixture, na material other than water,

(2011)DISCUSSIONCalibration takes into account systematic error (or bias)of the measuring instrument or system as well as random error that isassociated with the use of the measurement instrument or system a

Calibration should not be confused with an adjustment of ameasuring instrument or with verification of a measuring instrument.Sometimes the first step alone is mistakenly called calibration, butperforming only the fir
42、st step is the process of standardization. In testsof concrete and concrete aggregates, standardization of measuringinstruments or systems is often sufficient.cellular concretesee concrete, cellular.cement, hydraulic, na cement that sets and hardens bychemical reaction with water and is capable of d
