A numb
2、er 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 r
4、egarded 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. Some values have only SI units because the inch-pound e
5、quivalentsare not used in practice.NOTE 1Sieve size is identified by its standard designation in Specification E11. the alternative designation given in parentheses is for informationonly and does not represent a different standard sieve size.1.4 The text of this standard references notes and footno
6、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

The inside shall be free of corrosion, coatings, or lubricants.5.2 Scale, of sufficient capacity to determine
18、the mass of the load required with an accuracy of 0.5 %. Balances or scales shallbe calibrated at least annually or whenever there is reason to question the accuracy of the equipment.

24、e sieve.6.2 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 minimumamount of troweling.7. Procedure7.1 During the te
25、st, 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 platform or floor free of noticeable vibration and cover
26、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 during the first 40 min and at 30-min intervals thereaf
27、ter 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 time the water is withdrawn. Afterthe water is remove
28、d, 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 be determined, the periodic removal procedure shall b
29、e 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. Determine the mass and record the mass of the beaker and
30、 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 determining the tare mass of the beaker.8. Calculation8.
31、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 be determined as the test progresses by comparing the
32、 volume of bleed water for eachequal time interval.C232/C232M 13b28.2 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! 3100where:C = mass of the water in the test specimen, g,C = mass
33、of net mixing water in the test specimen, g,W = total mass of the batch, kg,w = mass of net mixing water in the batch (the total amount of water minus the water absorbed by the aggregates), kg,S = mass of the sample, g, andS = mass of the specimen, g, andD = mass of the bleed water, g, or total volu
34、me withdrawn from the test specimen in cubic centimeters multiplied by 1 g/cm3.D = accumulated mass of the bleed water, g, (total volume withdrawn from the test specimen in mL multiplied by 1 g/mL).9.

35、volume of bleed water per unit area of surface, and the accumulated bleed water, expressed as a percentage of the netmixing water contained within the test specimen, and9.4 Elapsed time required for cessation of bleeding.10. Precision and Bias10.1 Precision:10.1.1 Data are available to evaluate the
36、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 good as that for concrete consolidated byvibration. The values given shall be used as maximum precision limits for concrete c
37、onsolidated by rodding.10.1.2 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 range from 10 to 20 %, and 1.77 % for more than 20 %. Therefore, results of two properly conductedtests by the same operator
38、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 %, and 5.0 % for more than 20 %. (See Note 12.)NOTE 2These numbers represent, respectively, the (1s) and (d2s) limits as de
