1、Designation: C232/C232M 13cStandard 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 number in parenthe
2、ses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the relativequantity of mixing water that will bleed from a sample offreshly mixed concrete.1.2 When variou
3、s concretes are to be compared, if thebatches are of similar unit weight, the sample masses shall notdiffer by more than 1 kg 2 lb.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; ther
4、efore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard. Some values have only SI units because theinch-pound equivalents are not used in practice.NOTE 1Sieve size is identified by its standard designation in Spe
5、ci-fication E11. the alternative designation given in parentheses is forinformation only and does not represent a different standard sieve size.1.4 The text of this standard references notes and footnoteswhich provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figu
6、res) shall not be consideredas requirements of the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-b
7、ility of regulatory limitations prior to use. (WarningFreshhydraulic cementitious mixtures are caustic and may causechemical burns to skin and tissue upon prolonged exposure).22.

Test Specimen6.1 For concrete made in the laboratory, prepare as de-scribed in Practice C192/C192M. For concrete made in thefield, sample the concrete as described
20、in Practice C172/C172M. The apparatus described in this test method is permit-ted to be used with samples of concrete containing any size ofaggregate graded up to and including a nominal maximum sizeof 50 mm 2 in. Concrete containing aggregate larger than 50mm 2 in. in nominal maximum size shall be

Placethe specimen and container on a level platform or floor free ofnoticeable vibration and cover the container t
24、o prevent evapo-ration of the bleed water. Keep the cover in place throughoutthe test, except when drawing off the water. Draw off (withpipet or similar instrument) the water that has accumulated onthe surface at 10-min intervals during the first 40 min and at30-min intervals thereafter until cessat
25、ion of bleeding, record-ing the time of last observation. To facilitate the collection ofbleed water, tilt the specimen carefully by placing a blockapproximately 50 mm 2 in. thick under one side of thecontainer 2 min prior to each time the water is withdrawn.After the water is removed, return the co
26、ntainer to a levelposition without jarring. After each withdrawal, transfer thewater to a 100-mL graduated cylinder. Record the accumulatedquantity of water after each transfer. If it is desired todetermine the mass of the bleed water and to exclude thematerial present other than the water, carefull
27、y decant thecontents of the cylinder into a metal beaker. Determine themass and record the mass of the beaker and its contents. Drythe beaker and its contents to constant mass and record the finalmass. The difference between the two masses, D, is equal to themass of the bleed water. The mass of the
28、sludge shall also beobtained, if desired, by initially determining the tare mass ofthe beaker.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the volume of bleed water per unit area ofsurface, V, as follows:V 5 V1/A (1)where:V1= volume of bleed water measured during the selectedtime interval, mL, andA = area of exposed
29、 concrete, cm2.The comparative rate of bleeding shall be determined as thetest progresses by comparing the volume of bleed water foreach equal time interval.8.2 Calculate the accumulated bleed water, expressed as apercentage of the net mixing water contained within the testspecimen, as follows:C 5 w
30、/W! 3 S (2)Bleeding, % 5 D/C! 3100where:C = mass 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 amountof water minus the water absorbed by the aggregates),kg,S = mass of the specimen, g, andD = accumulated mass of the
31、bleed water, g, (total volumewithdrawn from the test specimen in mL multiplied by1 g/mL).9. Report9.1 Concrete mixture proportions,9.2 Source and identification of each material used,9.3 The volume of bleed water per unit area of surface, andthe accumulated bleed water, expressed as a percentage of
32、thenet mixing 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 precision of the testmethod for concrete consolidated by vibration. There is reasonto believe that the precisi
33、on of tests for concrete consolidatedby rodding is at least as good as that for concrete consolidatedby vibration. The values given shall be used as maximumprecision limits for concrete consolidated by rodding.C232/C232M 13c210.1.2 The single operator-day-multibatch standard devia-tion (1s) has been
34、 found to be 0.71 % for a bleeding range from0 to 10 %, 1.06 % for a bleeding range from 10 to 20 %, and1.77 % for more than 20 %. Therefore, results of two properlyconducted tests by the same operator on the same day ondifferent batches of the same mixture are not expected to differby more than 2.0
35、 % (d2s) for a bleeding range from 0 to 10 %,3.0 % for a range from 10 to 20 %, and 5.0 % for more than20 %. (See Note 2.)NOTE 2These numbers represent, respectively, the (1s) and (d2s)limits as described in Practice C670.10.2 BiasThe test method has no bias because the valuesdetermined can be defin
