Place a layer of mortar about 25mm (1 in.) in thickness in the mold and tamp 20 times with thetamper. The tampin
12、g pressure shall be just sufficient to ensureuniform filling of the mold. Then fill the mold with mortar andtamp as specified for the first layer. Cut off the mortar to a planesurface flush with the top of the mold by drawing thestraightedge or the edge of the trowel with a sawing motionacross the t
13、op of the mold. Wipe the table top clean and dry,being especially careful to remove any water from around theedge of the flow mold. Lift the mold away from the mortar 1min after completing the mixing operation. Immediately dropthe table 25 times in 15 s, unless otherwise specified.1This test method

No further reproductions authorized.7.1.2 If using the caliper specified
17、in Specification C 230,measure the diameter of the mortar along the four lines scribedin the table top, recording each diameter as the number ofcaliper divisions, estimated to one tenth of a division. If someother caliper is being used, measure the diameter of the mortaralong the four lines scribed
18、in the table top, recording eachdiameter to the nearest millimetre.8. Calculation8.1 The flow is the resulting increase in average basediameter of the mortar mass, expressed as a percentage of theoriginal base diameter.8.2 If using the caliper specified in Specification C 230, addthe four readings,
19、and record the total. This gives the flow inpercent. If using some other caliper, compute the flow inpercent by dividing “A” by the original inside base diameter inmillimetres and multiplying by 100.where:A = average of four readings in millimetres, minus theoriginal inside base diameter in millimet
20、res.Report the flow to the nearest 1 %.9. Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionThe single-operator, within-laboratory stan-dard deviation has been found to be 4 % flow. Therefore,results of two properly conducted tests by the same operator onsimilar batches should not differ by more than 11 % (Note 2).9.1
21、.1 The multilaboratory standard deviation has beenfound to be 11 %. Therefore, results of two different laborato-ries on similar batches should not differ by more than 31 %flow (Note 2).NOTE 2Data produced when water content is being varied to obtain agiven flow is not applicable for this purpose. O
22、nly data where flow hasbeen determined using a given cement and fixed water content isapplicable. Consequently, the only data currently available is that ex-tracted from the CCRL Proficiency Sample Program for CS Flow onC 109 mortars (dropping the flow table 25 times in 15 s). The data forSample Nos
23、. 109, 110, 111, and 112 have been used to develop theprecision statements given.9.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining flow available, no statement on bias ismade.10.
