1、Designation: C 166 05Standard Test Method forCovering Capacity and Volume Change Upon Drying ofThermal Insulating Cement1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 166; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the
2、 year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 Wet covering capacity and volume change upon dryingare often of major importance in the application of therm
3、alinsulating cement. These properties can be easily determined atthe same time that the determinations of dry covering capacityare made. Therefore, the procedures for determining thesethree properties are covered together in this test method.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regard
4、edas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determin

C

Hold the rod constantly in avertical position and adjust the disk until its flat surface justcomes into contact with the top surface of the cement. Securethe disk to the pin before w
18、ithdrawing the gage from thecement. Determine the thickness of the cement by measuringthe distance from the flat surface of the disk to the pointed endof the rod with a steel rule or by some other suitable scale. Donot fill the indentations in the cement showing the points ofmeasurement, but allow t
19、hem to dry in place.7.5 Make the width and length measurements with the steelrules within an accuracy of 6116 in. (about 61.6 mm). Makethe width measurements at locations approximately 6 in. (150mm) from each end of the specimen. Make the length mea-surements at locations approximately 2 in. (50 mm)
20、 from eachside of the specimen. While making these measurements, allowthe edge of the steel rule to make an indentation in the wetcement in order to assure measurements at the same locationsafter the cement has been dried.7.6 Immediately after the measurements have been made, oras soon thereafter as
21、 recommended by the manufacturer, placethe cement specimen and mold in an oven at 215 to 250F (102to 121C) until dried to constant weight. The oven chambershall be adequately vented in such a manner as to ensurecomplete circulation of the atmosphere of the entire ovenchamber, preferably by fan or ot
22、her forced circulation method.7.7 After the dried specimen has been weighed, measure itfor thickness, width, and length at the same locations at whichcorresponding measurements were made before the specimenwas dried. These locations are indicated by the indentationmarks made in the wet cement. Measu
