The top of the frame shall be chilledto a depth of approximately 14 in. 6 mm, and the face shall be ground and lapped square with the bore to give 360 contact withthe sh

The underside of the base of the frame shall be ground to secure a complete contact with the steel plate beneath.3.4 The flow table shall be driven by a motor (Note 2), connected to the cam shaft through an enclosed worm gear speed reducerand flexible coupling. The speed of the cam sha
22、ft shall be approximately 100 r/min. The motor drive mechanism shall not befastened or mounted on the table base plate or frame.NOTE 2A 120-hp 40-W motor has been found adequate.3.5 The performance of a flow table shall be considered satisfactory if, in calibration tests, the table gives a flow valu
23、e that doesnot differ by more than 5 percentage points from flow values obtained with a suitable calibration material.3,4 (See Note 3).)3 Such a material can be obtained from the Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD20899.(ht

29、hecked frequently for levelness of the table top, stability of the pedestal, and tightness of the bolts andnuts in the table base and the pedestal table. (A torque of 20 lbft 27 Nm is recommended when tightening those fastenings.)4 Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters a

Oilshall not be present between the contact faces of the table top and the supporting frame. Oil on the cam face will
32、 lessen wear andpromote smoothness of operation. The table should be raised and permitted to drop a dozen or more times just prior to use if ithas not been operated for some time.NOTE 4It has been demonstrated that an absence of lubrication on the table shaft will significantly reduce the flow readi

The height of the mold shall be 2.00 6 0.02 in. 50.0 6 0.5 mm. The diameter of the top openingshall be 2.756 2.75 6 0.02
34、in. 70.0 6 0.5 mm for new molds and 2.75 + 0.05 in. 70.0 + 1.3 mm and 0.02 in. 0.5 mm formolds in use. The diameter of the bottom opening shall be 4.00 6 0.02 in. 100.0 6 0.5 mm for new molds and 4.00 + 0.05 in.+ 1.3 mm and 0.02 in. 0.5 mm for molds in use. The surfaces of the base and top shall be
35、parallel and at right angles to thevertical axis of the cone. The mold shall have a minimum wall thickness of 0.2 in. 5 mm. The outside of the top edge of the moldshall be shaped so as to provide an integral collar for convenient lifting of the mold. All surfaces shall be machined to a smoothfinish.
36、 A circular shield approximately 10 in. 255 mm in diameter, with a center opening approximately 4 in. 100 mm indiameter, made of nonabsorbing material not attacked by the cement, shall be used with the flow mold to prevent mortar fromspilling on the table top.FIG. 2 Flow Table and Accessory Apparatu
37、s (Partial) SIC230/C230M 134FIG. 2 Flow Table and Accessory Apparatus (Partial) SI (continued)C230/C230M 1356.2 A caliper consisting of one fixed jaw and one jaw movable along a permanent scale shall be provided for measuring thediameter of the mortar after it has been spread by the operation of the
38、 table. The scale shall be machine divided into 40 incrementswith 0.16 in. 4.0 mm between divisions with major division lines every 5 divisions and the increment number every 10 divisions(Note 5). The construction and accuracy of the caliper shall be such that the distance between the jaws shall be
39、4 6 0.01 in. 1006 0.25 mm when the indicator is set at zero.NOTE 5The caliper is graduated to indicate one fourth of the actual flow percentage, so that the readings of four measurements on the caliper maybe added to give the flow value without the necessity of calculating the average of four indivi
