A num
2、ber in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers cold-weather admixture sys-tems to be added to hydraulic-cement concrete when thetemperature of the concrete im
3、mediately after placement willbe as low as -5.0 C 23.0 F.1.2 This specification stipulates tests of the cold-weatheradmixture system with suitable materials as described in11.1-11.3 or with materials proposed for specific work (See11.5). Unless otherwise requested by the purchaser, tests shallbe mad
4、e using suitable concreting materials as described in11.1-11.3.NOTE 1Whenever practicable, tests should be made using the con-creting materials, the mixture proportions, and batching sequence pro-posed for the specific work (See 11.5) because the time of setting,compressive strength gain, and other
5、properties may vary.1.3 This specification provides three levels of testing.1.3.1 Level 1During the initial approval stage, proof ofcompliance with the performance requirements defined inTable 1 demonstrates that the cold-weather admixture systemmeets the requirements of this specification. Uniformi
6、ty andequivalence tests (See Section 6) shall be carried out to provideresults against which later comparisons can be made.1.3.2 Level 2Limited retesting is described in 5.2, 5.2.1,and 5.2.2. Proof of compliance with the requirements of Table1 demonstrates conformity of the admixture system with the
7、requirements of this specification.1.3.3 Level 3For acceptance of a lot or for measuringuniformity within or between lots, when specified by thepurchaser, uniformity and equivalence tests (See Section 6)shall be used.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded sepa
8、rately as standard. Within the text, theinch-pound units are shown in brackets. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.5 The te
9、xt of this standard references notes and footnotes,which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be consideredas requirements of the standard.1.6 The following precautionary caveat pertains to the testmethods portion, Sections 11-18, o
10、f this specification. Thisstandard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the userof this standard to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limita-tions prior to use.

Molds shall have lids toprovide for sealed conditions.5. General Requirements5.1 For initial compliance with this specification, the co
25、n-crete shall be tested with the cold-weather admixture systemfor conformance with the requirements in Table 1.5.2 The purchaser is permitted to require limited retesting toconfirm current compliance of the admixture system to speci-fication requirements. The limited retesting includes measure-ments
26、 of physical and performance properties of the admixturesystem as described in 5.2.1 and 5.2.2.5.2.1 The physical properties retesting consists of unifor-mity and equivalence tests of the admixture system for infraredabsorption spectrum and relative density.5.2.2 The performance properties retesting
27、 consists of timeof initial setting and compressive strength of concrete at 7 and28 days. Purchasers having special requirements are permittedto require additional tests.5.3 At the request of the purchaser, the manufacturer shallstate in writing that the admixture system supplied for use inthe work
28、is equivalent in all essential respects, includingconcentration, to the admixture system tested under thisspecification.5.4 At the request of the purchaser, the manufacturer shallstate in writing the chloride content of the admixture system.5.5 Tests for uniformity and equivalence, as indicated inSe
29、ction 6, shall be made on the initial sample and the resultsretained for reference and comparison with the results ofsamples taken elsewhere within the lot or subsequent lots ofadmixture supplied to the work.6. Uniformity and Equivalence Tests6.1 When specified by the purchaser, the uniformity of a
30、lot,or equivalence of multiple lots from the same source shall beestablished by the following requirements:4Available from American Concrete Institute (ACI), P.O.

32、 table include allowance for normal variation in test resultsBAs an example, in the case of initial time of setting, if the control mixture has aset time of 4.0 hrs, the test specimens can have a set time up to 8.0 hrs. For lengthchange, if the control specimen shrinks X units, the test specimen is
33、allowed toshrink up to 1.35X.CThe compressive strength of the concrete containing the cold-weather admix-ture shall not be less than 90 % of that attained at the previous test age. Theobjective of this limit is to require that the compressive strength of the cold-weatheradmixture concrete shall not
34、decrease with age.DBecause the test specimens will be cool and damp for the 7d compressive test,it will be necessary to use unbonded caps as described in Practice C1231/C1231M.EAlternative requirements, see 17.1.2: Percent of control applies when shrink-age of control concrete is 0.030 % or greater;
35、 the increase over control limit applieswhen shrinkage of control concrete is 0.030 % or less.FThis requirement is applicable only when the cold-weather admixture is to beused in air-entrained concrete that may be exposed to freezing and thawing whilewet.C1622/C1622M 0926.1.1 Infrared AnalysisThe ab
36、sorption spectra of the ini-tial sample and the test sample, obtained as specified in Section18, shall exhibit the same pattern of absorption bands in termsof frequency and intensity.6.1.2 Relative Density (Liquid Admixture)When tested asspecified in Section 18, the relative density (specific gravit
37、y) ofsubsequent test samples shall not differ from the relativedensity of the initial sample by more than 10 % of thedifference between the relative density of the initial sample andreagent water at the same temperature. Reagent water conform-ing to Specification D1193, Type III or IV, and prepared
38、bydistillation, ion exchange, reverse osmosis, or a combination ofthese procedures, is acceptable (See Note 2).6.2 When the nature of the admixture system or analyticalcapability of the purchaser make these procedures unsuitable,other requirements for uniformity and equivalence from lot tolot or wit
39、hin a lot shall be established by agreement betweenthe purchaser and the manufacturer.NOTE 2Oven drying methods are not appropriate for measuring theoven-dried residue content for cold-weather admixture system becausewater, present in the form of bound water of hydration, is released slowlyupon dryi
40、ng, and can often lead to highly variable results. Relative densityis an acceptable indication of lot-to-lot uniformity.7. Packaging and Marking7.1 When the cold-weather admixture system is delivered inpackages or containers, the proprietary name of the individualadmixtures in the system, the design
41、ation of this specification,and the net mass or volume shall be plainly marked thereon.Similar information shall be provided in the shipping informa-tion accompanying packages or bulk shipments of admixture.8. Storage8.1 Store the cold-weather admixture system to permit easyaccess for proper inspect
42、ion and identification of each ship-ment, and in a suitable building that will protect the admixturefrom moisture absorption if it is a dry admixture or fromfreezing if it is a liquid admixture.9. Sampling and Testing9.1 Every facility shall be provided to the purchaser forsampling and inspection, e
43、ither at the point of manufacture orat the site of the work, as specified by the purchaser.9.2 Samples shall be either “grab” or “composite” samplesas specified by this specification.Agrab sample is one obtainedin a single operation. A composite sample is one obtained bycombining three or more grab
44、samples.9.3 For the purpose of this specification, it is recognized thatsamples will be taken for two reasons:9.3.1 Compliance TestsA sample taken for evaluatingcompliance of a source or lot of cold-weather admixturesystem shall meet the applicable requirements of this specifi-cation. Samples used t
45、o determine conformance with thisspecification shall be composites of grab samples taken fromdifferent locations so that the composite sample will berepresentative of the lot.9.3.2 Uniformity and Equivalence TestsWhen specifiedby the purchaser, a sample taken for evaluating the uniformityof a single
46、 lot or equivalence of multiple lots from one sourceshall be tested as provided in Section 6. When uniformity of asingle lot is being determined, grab samples shall be used.When uniformity of multiple lots from the same source is beingdetermined, composite samples from individual lots shall beused.9
