Reagents7.1 Mixing WaterPotable water is satisfactory for routine tests. For all referee and cooperative tests, reagent water conformingto the requirements of Specification
23、 D1193 for Type III or Type IV grade of reagent water shall be used.8. Sampling8.1 When the test is part of acceptance testing, sample the cement in accordance with Practice C183.9.

Procedure10.1 Preparation of Cement Paste: Obtain the c
25、ement paste used for determination of the time of setting from one of thefollowing methods:10.1.1 Prepare a new batch of paste by mixing 650 g of cement with the percentage of mixing water required for normalconsistency (Test Method C187), following the procedure described in Practice C305.10.1.2 At
26、 the option of the tester, use the paste remaining from the batch used for the autoclave expansion specimen (TestMethod C151) or from the normal consistency determination (Test Method C187).10.2 Molding Test SpecimenFrom the cement paste prepared as described in 10.1, make a pat with a flat top and
27、the sidestapering to a thin edge on a plane non-absorptive plate, conforming to the dimensions and tolerances in Fig. 1 (a). In molding thepat, flatten the cement paste first on the plate and then form the pat by drawing the trowel from the outer edge toward the center,then flattening the top. After
28、 making, place the pat in the moist cabinet or moist room and allow it to remain there except whenthe determinations of time of setting are being made.10.3 Time of Setting DeterminationDetermine the time of setting by holding the needle in a vertical position and lightlyapplying it to the surface of
29、 the pat.10.3.1 Using the Initial Gillmore needle, determine the Gillmore Initial time of setting end point to be the first penetrationmeasurement that does not mark the specimen surface with a complete circular impression. Verify Initial set by obtaining twoadditional penetration measurements on di
30、fferent areas of the specimen surface.Verification measurements must be obtained within90 s of the first “initial set” measurement. The elapsed time, in minutes, between the time of contact of cement and mixing waterand the end point determined above is the Gillmore initial time of setting.10.3.2 Us
31、ing the Final Gillmore needle, determine the Gillmore Final time of setting end point to be the first penetrationmeasurement that does not mark the specimen surface with a complete circular impression. Verify Final set by obtaining twoadditional penetration measurements on different areas of the spe
32、cimen surface.Verification measurements must be obtained within90 s of the first “final set” measurement. The elapsed time, in minutes, between the time of contact of cement and mixing waterand the end point determined above is the Gillmore final time of setting.11. Report11.1 Report the time of set
