1、Designation: C232/C232M 13C232/C232M 13aStandard Test Method forBleeding of Concrete1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C232/C232M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numbe
2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the relative
3、quantity of mixing water that will bleed from a sample of freshlymixed concrete.1.2 When various concretes are to be compared, if the batches are of similar unit weight, the sample masses shall not differ bymore than 1 kg 2 lb.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be re
4、garded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.4 The text of this standard references notes and footno
5、tes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the u
6、ser of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.

19、overed isone involving weighing, evaporation, and reweighing.4.7 Metal Beaker (Optional)A 1000-mL metal beaker for collecting the decanted supernatant water and sludge.4.8 Balance (Optional)A balance sensitive to 1 g for determining the mass of the decanted water and sludge.4.9 Hot Plate (Optional)A
20、 small electric hot plate or other source of heat for evaporating decanted water.5. Test Specimen5.1 For concrete made in the laboratory, prepare as described in Practice C192/C192M. For concrete made in the field, samplethe concrete as described in Practice C172. The apparatus described in this tes
21、t method is permitted to be used with samples ofconcrete containing any size of aggregate graded up to and including a nominal maximum size of 50 mm 2 in. Concretecontaining aggregate larger than 50 mm 2 in. in nominal maximum size shall be wet sieved over a 37.5 mm 112-in. sieve andthe test perform
22、ed on a portion of the sample that passes through the sieve.5.2 Fill the container with the concrete in accordance with Test Method C138/C138M except that the container shall be filledto a height of 254 6 3 mm 10 6 18 in. Level the top surface of the concrete to a reasonably smooth surface by a mini
23、mumamount of troweling.6. Procedure6.1 During the test, maintain the ambient temperature between 18 and 24 C 65 and 75 F. Immediately after troweling thesurface of the specimen, record the time and determine the mass of the container and its contents. Place the specimen and containeron a level platf
24、orm or floor free of noticeable vibration and cover the container to prevent evaporation of the bleed water. Keepthe cover in place throughout the test, except when drawing off the water. Draw off (with pipet or similar instrument) the waterthat has accumulated on the surface at 10-min intervals dur
25、ing the first 40 min and at 30-min intervals thereafter until cessationof bleeding, recording the time of last observation. To facilitate the collection of bleed water, tilt the specimen carefully by placinga block approximately 50 mm 2 in. thick under one side of the container 2 min prior to each t
26、ime the water is withdrawn. Afterthe water is removed, return the container to a level position without jarring.After each withdrawal, transfer the water to a 100-mLgraduated cylinder. Record the accumulated quantity of water after each transfer. When only the total volume of bleeding is desiredto b
27、e determined, the periodic removal procedure shall be omitted and the entire amount removed in a single operation. If it isdesired to determine the mass of the bleed water and to exclude the material present other than the water, carefully decant thecontents of the cylinder into a metal beaker. Dete
28、rmine the mass and record the mass of the beaker and its contents. Dry the beakerand its contents to constant mass and record the final mass. The difference between the two masses, D, is equal to the mass of thebleed water. The mass of the sludge shall also be obtained, if desired, by initially dete
29、rmining the tare mass of the beaker.7. Calculation7.1 Calculate the volume of bleed water per unit area of surface, V, as follows:V 5V1/A (1)where:V 1 = volume of bleed water measured during the selected time interval, mL, andA = area of exposed concrete, cm2.The comparative rate of bleeding shall b
30、e determined as the test progresses by comparing the volume of bleed water for eachequal time interval.7.2 Calculate the accumulated bleed water, expressed as a percentage of the net mixing water contained within the testspecimen, as follows:C 5w/W! 3S (2)Bleeding,%5D/C! 3100C232/C232M 13a2where:C =
31、 mass of the water in the test specimen, g,W = total mass of the batch, kg,w = net mixing water (the total amount of water minus the water absorbed by the aggregates), kg,S = mass of the sample, g, andD = mass of the bleed water, g, or total volume withdrawn from the test specimen in cubic centimete

33、Elapsed time required for cessation of bleeding.9. Precision and Bias9.1 Precision:9.1.1 Data are available to evaluate the precision of the test method for concrete consolidated by vibration. There is reason tobelieve that the precision of tests for concrete consolidated by rodding is at least as g
34、ood as that for concrete consolidated byvibration. The values given shall be used as maximum precision limits for concrete consolidated by rodding.9.1.2 The single operator-day-multibatch standard deviation (1s) has been found to be 0.71 % for a bleeding range from 0 to10 %, 1.06 % for a bleeding ra
35、nge from 10 to 20 %, and 1.77 % for more than 20 %. Therefore, results of two properly conductedtests by the same operator on the same day on different batches of the same mixture are not expected to differ by more than 2.0 %(d2s) for a bleeding range from 0 to 10 %, 3.0 % for a range from 10 to 20
36、%, and 5.0 % for more than 20 %. (See Note 1.)NOTE 1These numbers represent, respectively, the (1s) and (d2s) limits as described in Practice C670.9.2 BiasThe test method has no bias because the values determined can be defined only in terms of the test method.10.
