2、vision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers requirements for the flow tableand accessory apparatus (Note 1) used in making flow tests forconsi
3、stency of mortars in tests of hydraulic cement, such as butnot limited to Test Method C1437.NOTE 1To help clarify the design of the flow table and accessoryapparatus see the drawing in Fig. 1 Fig. 2. This drawing is forinformational purposes only.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-poun
4、d unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. 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. It is permissible to use an inch-pound

It is not permissible to mix a SI moldwith an inch-pound caliper or an inch-pound mold with a SIcaliper.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use
6、. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C1437 Test Method for Flow of Hydraulic Cement Mortar3. Flow Table and Frame

Theunderside of the base of the frame shall be ground to secure acomplete 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 gearspeed reducer and fl
20、exible coupling. The speed of the cam shaftshall be approximately 100 r/min. The motor drive mechanismshall not be fastened or mounted on the table base plate orframe.NOTE 2A120-hp 40-W motor has been found adequate.3.5 The performance of a flow table shall be consideredsatisfactory if, in verificat
21、ion tests, the table gives a flow valuethat does not differ by more than 5 percentage points from flowvalues obtained with a suitable calibration material.3,4(SeeNote 3.) Perform the verification at least every 212 years.NOTE 3Some causes of and solutions to unsatisfactory performanceof the flow tab
22、le may be found in the section on flow tables in the ASTMManual of Cement Testing.4. Flow Table Mounting4.1 The flow table frame shall be tightly bolted to a cast ironor steel plate at least 1 in. 25 mm thick and 10 in. 250 mm3Such a material can be obtained from the Cement and Concrete ReferenceLab
23、oratory (CCRL), http:/www.ccrl.us.4Supporting data have been filed at ASTM International Headquarters and maybe obtained by requesting Research Report RR:C01-1006.FIG. 1 Flow Table and Accessory Apparatus (Partial) (in./lb)C230/C230M 142square. The top surface of this plate shall be machined to asmo
24、oth plane surface. The plate shall be anchored to the top ofa concrete pedestal by four12-in. 13-mm bolts that passthrough the plate and are imbedded at least 6 in. 150 mm inthe pedestal. The pedestal shall be cast inverted on the baseplate. A positive contact between the base plate and thepedestal
25、shall be obtained at all points. No nuts or other suchleveling devices shall be used between the plate and thepedestal. Leveling shall be effected by suitable means underthe base of the pedestal.4.2 The pedestal shall be 10 to 11 in. 250 to 275 mmsquare at the top, and 15 to 16 in. 375 to 400 mm squ
26、are atthe bottom, 25 to 30 in. 625 to 750 mm in height, and shall beof monolithic construction, cast from concrete weighing atleast 140 lb ft32240 kg/m3. A stable gasket cork padding,12 in. 13 mm thick and the same size as the pedestal bottomor four pieces of padding12 in. 13 mm thick and approxi-ma
27、tely 4 in. 100 mm square, shall be inserted under thepedestal or the four corners, respectively. The flow table shallbe checked frequently for levelness of the table top, stability ofthe pedestal, and tightness of the bolts and nuts in the tablebase and the pedestal table. (A torque of 20 lbft 27 Nm
28、 isrecommended when tightening those fastenings.)4.3 The table top, after the frame has been mounted on thepedestal, shall be level along two diameters at right angles toeach other, in both the raised and lowered positions.5. Flow Table Lubrication5.1 The vertical shaft of the table shall be kept cl
29、ean andshall be lightly lubricated (See Note 4) with a light oil(SAE-10). Oil shall not be present between the contact faces ofthe table top and the supporting frame. Oil on the cam face willlessen wear and promote smoothness of operation. The tableshould be raised and permitted to drop a dozen or m
30、ore timesjust prior to use if it has not been operated for some time.NOTE 4It has been demonstrated that an absence of lubrication on theFIG. 1 Flow Table and Accessory Apparatus (Partial) (in./lb) (continued)C230/C230M 143table shaft will significantly reduce the flow reading.6. Mold and Caliper6.1
31、 The conical mold for casting the flow specimen shall beof cast bronze or brass. The Rockwell hardness number of themetal shall be not less than 25 HRB. The height of the moldshall be 2.00 6 0.02 in. 50.0 6 0.5 mm. The diameter of thetop opening shall be 2.75 6 0.02 in. 70.0 6 0.5 mm for newmolds an
32、d 2.75 + 0.05 in. 70.0 + 1.3 mm and 0.02 in.0.5 mm for molds in use. The diameter of the bottomopening shall be 4.00 6 0.02 in. 100.0 6 0.5 mm for newmolds and 4.00 + 0.05 in. + 1.3 mm and 0.02 in. 0.5 mmfor molds in use. The surfaces of the base and top shall beparallel and at right angles to the v
33、ertical axis of the cone. Themold shall have a minimum wall thickness of 0.2 in. 5 mm.The outside of the top edge of the mold shall be shaped so asto provide an integral collar for convenient lifting of the mold.All surfaces shall be machined to a smooth finish. A circularshield approximately 10 in.
34、 255 mm in diameter, with acenter opening approximately 4 in. 100 mm in diameter,made of nonabsorbing material not attacked by the cement,shall be used with the flow mold to prevent mortar fromspilling on the table top.6.2 A caliper consisting of one fixed jaw and one jawmovable along a permanent sc
35、ale shall be provided formeasuring the diameter of the mortar after it has been spreadby the operation of the table. The scale shall be machinedivided into 40 increments with 0.16 in. 4.0 mm betweendivisions with major division lines every 5 divisions and theincrement number every 10 divisions (Note
36、 5). The construc-tion and accuracy of the caliper shall be such that the distancebetween the jaws shall be 4 6 0.01 in. 100 6 0.25 mm whenthe indicator is set at zero.NOTE 5The caliper is graduated to indicate one fourth of the actualflow percentage, so that the readings of four measurements on the
37、 calipermay be added to give the flow value without the necessity of calculatingthe average of four individual measurements of the total flow.FIG. 2 Flow Table and Accessory Apparatus (Partial) SIC230/C230M 144FIG. 2 Flow Table and Accessory Apparatus (Partial) SI (continued)C230/C230M 145SUMMARY OF
