Saturate the sealed specimen in acalcium hydroxide solution, rinse with tap water, and thenplace in
17、a sodium chloride solution. After a specified exposuretime, the test specimen is removed from the sodium chloridesolution and thin layers are ground off parallel to the exposedface of the specimen. The acid-soluble chloride content of eachlayer is determined. The apparent chloride diffusion coeffici
18、entand the projected surface chloride-ion concentration are thencalculated using the initial chloride-ion content, and at least sixrelated values for chloride-ion content and depth below theexposed surface.5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method is applicable to cementitious mixturesthat have no
19、t been exposed to external chloride ions, other thanthe negligible quantity of chloride ion exposure from samplepreparation using potable water, prior to the test.5.2 The calculation procedure described in this test methodis applicable only to laboratory test specimens exposed to asodium chloride so
20、lution as described in this test method. Thiscalculation procedure is not applicable to specimens exposed tochloride ions during cyclic wetting and drying.NOTE 1The diffusion of ionic species in concrete occurs within thefluid-filled pores, cracks and void spaces. The concentration and valenceof oth
21、er ionic species in the pore fluid also influence the rate of chloridediffusion, and therefore, the apparent diffusion coefficient as determinedby this test procedure.5.3 In most cases, the value of the apparent chloridediffusion coefficient for cementitious mixtures changes overtime (See Note 2). T
22、herefore, apparent diffusion coefficientsobtained at early ages may not be representative of perfor-mance in service.NOTE 2The rate of change of the apparent diffusion coefficient forcementitious mixtures containing pozzolans or blast-furnace slag istypically different than that for mixtures contain
23、ing only portland cement.5.4 The apparent chloride diffusion coefficient is used inFicks second law of diffusion to estimate chloride penetrationinto cementitious mixtures that are in a saturated condition.5.5 The apparent chloride diffusion coefficient is commonlyused in chloride ingress models bas
24、ed on Ficks second law ofdiffusion. The apparent diffusion coefficient determined by thismethod includes chemically bound chloride, so proper use ofthe apparent chloride diffusion coefficient to predict chlorideingress requires consideration of chloride binding.5.6 The resistance to chloride penetra
25、tion is affected by suchfactors as the environment, finishing, mixture composition,workmanship, curing, and age.6.

Test Specimens8.1 Drilled cores, molded cylinders, or molded cubes areacceptable test specimens. One sample consists of at least twotest specimens represen
31、tative of the cementitious mixtureunder test (See Note 4). Specimens must be free of defects suchas voids or cracks visible to the unaided eye (See Note 5). Theminimum dimension across the finished surface of each testspecimen must be at least 75 mm, but not less than three timesthe nominal maximum
32、aggregate particle size. The specimendepth must be at least 75 mm.NOTE 4The material between the exposed surface and the outermostlayer of reinforcement is often of interest because it is here that theprotection against chloride penetration is needed. Furthermore, the qualityof the material in this
33、particular area can deviate from that in the rest ofthe system, as this region is often affected by construction practices.NOTE 5Specimens with voids deeper than the profile layer thicknesscan increase the apparent rate of chloride penetration, and increases testvariability.8.2 Unless otherwise spec
34、ified, provide 28 days of labora-tory standard moist curing in accordance with Practice C 31/C 31M or C 192/C 192M prior to sample preparation forimmersion in the exposure liquid.8.2.1 Describe any variance from standard curing practicein the report.8.3 For drilled cores obtained according to Test M
35、ethodC 42/C 42M, prepare the test specimen by cutting off theoutermost 75 mm of the core. The test specimen thus obtainedhas one face that is the original finished surface, and the otherface that is a sawn surface as shown in Fig. 3.C15560428.4 For specimens prepared in accordance with PracticeC 31/
36、C 31M or C 192/C 192M, the test specimen is preparedby cutting parallel to the finished surface. The top 75 mm isused as the test specimen (see Fig. 3).8.5 From the remainder of the drilled core, or moldedspecimen, cut a slice that is at least 20-mm thick. Use this sliceto determine the initial chlo
37、ride-ion content, Ci.8.6 Rinse the specimens with tap water immediately aftercutting. Scrub the surface with a stiff nylon brush, and rinseagain. Prior to sealing specimen surfaces, air dry until nomoisture can be removed from the surface with a dry papertowel (See Note 6).8.6.1 Exposure specimens m

This condition is satisfied byFIG. 1 Profile Grinding Using a Milling MachineFIG. 2 Profile Grinding Using a LatheC1556043standard moist-cured specimens allowed to air dry for no morethan 24 h in laboratory air maintained at 23 6 2 C and 50

If this residue is notremoved and test specimens are allowed to temporarily dry in air, acalcium carbonate layer can form on the surface of the specimen. Thiscarbonate layer may
40、interfere with the test result, which is why cleansingand rinsing with tap water after cutting or removal from the saturatedcalcium hydroxide water bath is required.8.7 Seal all sides of the exposure specimen except for thefinished surface following the procedure described in TestMethod C 1202.8.8 D

The container must be filled to the top to preventcarbonation. After 24 h of immersion, remove the s
42、pecimen,blot the surface dry with a paper towel, and determine the massof the specimen in the surface-dry condition.8.10 The test specimen is immersed in a saturated calciumhydroxide water bath until the mass does not change by morethan 0.1 % in 24 h (See Note 7). An acceptable alternativeprocedure
43、is to vacuum saturate the specimens with saturatedcalcium hydroxide solution using a vacuum chamber similar tothe system described in Test Method C 1202.NOTE 7Typically, the mass of moist-cured specimens stabilizeswithin 48 h.9. Procedure9.1 Exposure:9.1.1 Remove the saturated test specimen from the
44、 calciumhydroxide water bath, immediately rinse the specimen surfacewith tap water, place the specimen in the exposure container,fill the container with the exposure liquid, and then seal thecontainer. Place the container in a temperature-controlledchamber or room maintained at 23 6 2C. Record the s
45、tart dateand start time to the nearest hour.9.1.2 It is permitted to place multiple specimens in a singlecontainer as long as the specimens are placed in the containersuch that the entire exposure surface is unobstructed.

48、est is not valid (See Note 10).NOTE 10It is suggested to monitor the mass of the sealed container ifevaporation of water from the exposure solution is expected.9.1.5 Record the exposure time to the nearest hour.9.2 Profile Grinding:9.2.1 Remove the test specimen from the exposure liquid,rinse with t

When grinding is to be performed longer than 7 days afterremoval from the exposure solution, store the bagged speci-mens in a freezer maintained at -15 C (65 C) until time ofgrinding.9.2.3 Obtain the powder samples by grinding off material inlayers parallel to the exposed sur
