Significance and Use4.1 This test method is designed to evaluate the bleedstability of a freshly-mixed grout under static pressure. It canbe used in both the laboratory to qualify grout materials and int
9、he field as a quality control test. When used to qualify groutmaterials, replicate tests may be specified. It is intended thatthe test pressure, acceptance criteria, and number of replicatetests be set forth in the contract documents if this test methodis referenced. These values will normally vary
10、depending onthe vertical rise of the post-tensioning tendon.NOTE 1Appendix X1 includes a reference for an example of testpressures and bleeding limits.4.2 The procedure for this test was developed by Schokkeret al.4based on previous work by Schupack.55.

Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionThe standard deviation obtained by oneoperator has been determined to be 0.03 % bleeding by volumebased on three replicate
29、tests at 140 kPa for a grout with anaverage bleeding of 1.6 % by volume. For a grout tested at 220kPa with an average bleeding of 0.6 % by volume, the standarddeviation obtained by one operator has been determined to be0.17 % based on three replicate tests.NOTE 5An interlaboratory study will be cond
30、ucted and a completeprecision statement will be available by 2015.9.2 BiasNo statement on bias is being made because thereis no accepted reference material suitable for determining thebias in this test method.10.

31、741 123APPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. REFERENCE FOR SPECIFICATION LIMITS FOR PRESSURIZED BLEED TESTX1.1 When tested using the pressurized bleed test, themaximum percentage of permitted bleeding in grout should bespecified in contract documents. Normally, the specificationrequirements for test
32、 pressure and maximum percentage bleed-ing will differ depending on the vertical rise of the post-tensioning tendons being used.X1.2 The bleed limits for the test pressures based on workby Hamilton, Schokker, and Schupack6should result in groutwith little or no bleeding for the given vertical rise.
33、These bleedlimits apply to the grout sample tested in accordance with thistest method for a duration of 5 min of applied pressure and donot represent the permitted amount of bleeding when the groutmixture is used in the actual structure.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of
