It is intended that the test pressure, acceptance criteria, and number of replicate tests be set forthin the contract documents if this test method is referenced. T

Apparatus5.1 The apparatus consists of a commercially available pressure filtration funnel, stand, pressure supply with gauge
17、, pressureregulator, valve, drip wick, and bleed water collection container as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.5.1.1 Filtration FunnelA 47-mm diameter stainless steel pressure filtration funnel with a nominal capacity of 200 mL asshown in Fig. 2. The filtration funnel shall have removable threaded caps a
18、t both ends with a stem for connection of the gas supplyand a 7.0 6 0.5 mm inside diameter stem 90 6 1 mm long for escape of water. The base of the vessel shall contain a 35 6 1mmdiameter stainless steel 45 m (No. 325) screen that supports a 47 mm diameter Type A/E borosilicate glass filter (1-m por
19、e size)as shown in Fig. 2. The screen shall be inserted with the woven side against the glass filter, and the funnel gasket shall be placedabove the glass filter as shown in Fig. 2. The glass filter shall cover the screen across the inside diameter of the bottom cap andbe located under the gasket wh
20、en under pressure. Secure the bottom cap before filling the filtration funnel with grout. The funnelis placed in the stand after it is filled.5.1.2 StandThe filtration funnel shall be attached to a stand capable of holding the funnel in the vertical position withadequate space for the bleed water co
21、llection container. The bottom stem of the filtration funnel shall be inserted into the bleedwater collection container.5.1.3 Gas SupplyAn air or other inert gas pressure supply with a pressure regulator, an in-line shutoff valve, and pressuregauge shall be firmly attached to the top stem of the fil
22、tration funnel. The pressure gauge shall be capable of reading pressures upto 700 kPa with 20 kPa graduation marks.5.1.4 Metal Drip WickA metal paper clip, or suitable thin metal wire or rod of approximately 1 mm diameter, shall be bentto direct the water squeezed out of the filtration funnel into t
23、he collection vessel.5.1.5 Bleed Water Collection ContainerThe bleed water collection container shall consist of a 10-mL transparent graduatedcylinder with 0.2-mL graduation marks.6. Sample Preparation6.1 Grout shall be mixed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions or in accordance with Pr
24、actice C938 if no otherinstructions are provided. For field quality control testing, the grout shall be mixed using the same equipment and procedure asused for the installation of the material.7. Procedure7.1 Fill the filtration funnel with freshly-mixed grout within 5 min after completion of grout
25、mixing.7.2 Screw the top stem cap on the funnel hand tight while keeping the funnel in an upright position.7.3 Place the funnel in the stand.FIG. 1 Test ApparatusC1741 11a27.4 Connect the gas supply (gas pressure at 0 kPa).7.5 Allow grout to rest in the funnel for 10 min (630 s) after grout placemen
26、t.7.6 Increase pressure to the specified pressure level (620 kPa) within 30 s.7.7 Hold at the specified pressure for 5 min (65 s) unless a longer time is specified.NOTE 2This test can be kept at the designated pressure beyond 5 min to confirm the long term bleed stability of the grout and this devia
27、tion shouldbe noted in the report.7.8 Release the pressure and tip the filtration funnel slightly to break the surface tension and allow the bleed water remainingin the exit stem to be collected as part of the bleed volume to be measured.7.9 Measure the volume of the collected bleed water to the nea
28、rest 0.2 mL at the end of the hold time.7.10 If a complete loss of pressure occurs before completion of the 5-min hold period, the test is considered invalid for thespecified pressure level.NOTE 3Loss of pressure in this test generally occurs as a “blowout” or complete loss of pressure with gas blow
29、ing out of the stem.8. Report8.1 Report the bleed volume as a percentage of the nominal sample volume as follows:% Bleeding 5bleed mL!200 mL3 100 (1)8.2 Report the pressure used for the test and the duration for which the pressure was applied.8.3 If replicate tests are specified, report each test re
30、sult individually.9. Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionThe standard deviation obtained by one operator has been determined to be 0.03 % bleeding by volume basedon three replicate tests at 140 kPa for a grout with an average bleeding of 1.6 % by volume. For a grout tested at 220 kPa withan average bleed
31、ing of 0.6 % by volume, the standard deviation obtained by one operator has been determined to be 0.17 % basedon three replicate tests.NOTE 4An interlaboratory study will be conducted and a complete precision statement will be available by 2015.9.2 BiasNo statement on bias is being made because ther
32、e is no accepted reference material suitable for determining the biasin this test method.10.

33、PECIFICATION LIMITS FOR PRESSURIZED BLEED TESTX1.1 When tested using the pressurized bleed test, the maximum percentage of permitted bleeding in grout should be specifiedin contract documents. Normally, the specification requirements for test pressure and maximum percentage bleeding will differdepen

These bleed limits apply to the grout sample tested in acco
35、rdance with this testmethod for a duration of 5 min of applied pressure and do not represent the permitted amount of bleeding when the grout mixtureis used in the actual structure.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item m
