33、48, for materials of TypeIII, Class A, are suitable.6. Selection and Preparation of Test Samples6.1 The test can be used for either fine or coarse aggregate,and when the fine and coarse aggregate are of the samematerial it can be used for the total aggregate.6.2 Obtain the aggregate sample in accord
34、ance with PracticeD 75. Use the sample sizes given in Table number 1 of PracticeD 75.6.2.1 For samples of aggregate with a nominal maximumsize less than 19.0 mm, split the sample in half in accordancewith Practice C 702. Crush one half as described in 6.2.3.Retain the other half for further testing
35、if desired.6.2.2 For samples of aggregate with a nominal maximumsize 19.0 mm or larger, mix and quarter the sample inaccordance with Practice C 702. Crush one quarter as de-scribed in 6.2.3. Retain the other three quarters of the samplefor further testing if desired.6.2.3 Crush the sample in a jaw-c
36、rusher using small por-tions at a time, retaining all fractions, until the sample passesa 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. Reduce the crushed sample to 300 65 g by splitting in accordance with Practice C 702.6.3 Sieve the 300-g sample, discarding all material thatpasses the 150-m (No. 100) sieve. Crush or gri
37、nd the samplein small portions using a disk pulverizer, rotary mill (rotating-puck) device, or mortar and pestle. To minimize the productionof material passing the 150-m (No.100) sieve, use severalpasses of the portion through the equipment, removing materialpassing the 300-m (No. 50) sieve before r
38、egrinding theremainder. If the amount of material retained on the 150-m(No. 100) sieve is less than 100 g after pulverizing the entire300-g sample, discard the sample and pulverize a new 300-gsample (Note 3).NOTE 3An over-pulverized sample may not produce the correctchemical test results. A properly
39、 pulverized sample will have about 110 to150 g of material remaining on the 150-m (No. 100) sieve after washing.6.4 To ensure that all material finer than the 150-m sievehas been removed, wash the sample over a 150-m sieve. Donot wash more than 100 g over a 203-mm diameter sieve at oneC289033time. D
40、ry the washed sample at 105 6 5C for 20 6 4 h. Coolthe sample and again sieve on the 150-m sieve. If inspectionof the sample indicates the presence of silty or clayey coatingson particles, repeat the washing and drying procedure, andsieve as before over the 150-m sieve. Reserve the portionretained o
41、n the 150-m sieve for the test sample.7. Reaction Procedure7.1 Weigh out three representative 25.00 6 0.05-g portionsof the dry 150-m to 300-m test sample prepared in accor-dance with Section 6. Place one portion in each of the three ofthe reaction containers, and add by means of a pipet, 25 mL ofth
42、e 1.000 N NaOH solution. To a fourth reaction container, bymeans of a pipet, add 25 mL of the same NaOH solution toserve as a blank. Seal the four containers and gently swirl themto liberate trapped air.7.2 Immediately after the containers have been sealed, placethem in a liquid bath maintained at 8
43、0 6 1.0C. After 24 614h, remove the containers from the bath and cool them, for 156 2 min, under running tap water having a temperature below30C.7.3 Immediately after the containers have been cooled, openthem and filter the solution from the aggregate residue. Use aporcelain Gooch crucible (see Note
44、 4) with a disk of rapid,analytical-grade filter paper cut to fit the bottom of the crucible,setting the crucible in a rubber crucible holder in a funnel.Place a dry test tube, 35 to 50-mL capacity, in the filter flask tocollect the filtrate, and seat the funnel in the neck of the filterflask. With
45、the aspirator in operation or the vacuum line open,decant a small quantity of the solution onto the filter paper soit will seat properly in the crucible. Without stirring thecontents of the container, decant the remaining free liquid intothe crucible. When the decantation of the liquid has beencompl
46、eted, discontinue the vacuum and transfer the solidsremaining in the container to the crucible and pack in placewith the aid of a stainless-steel spatula. Then apply and adjustthe vacuum to approximately 51 kPa. Continue the filtrationuntil further filtration yields filtrate at the approximate rate
47、of1 drop every 10 s; reserve the filtrate for further tests. Recordthe total amount of time during which the vacuum is applied asthe filtration time; make every effort to achieve an equalfiltration time for all samples in a set, by uniformity ofprocedure in the assembly of the filtration apparatus a
48、nd thepacking of the solids in the crucible.NOTE 4Coors Size No. 4 Gooch crucibles, or equivalent, have beenfound satisfactory for this purpose.7.4 Filter the blank according to the procedure described in7.3. Apply the vacuum for a length of time equal to the averagefiltration time for the three spe
49、cimens.7.5 Immediately following the completion of filtration, stirthe filtrate to assure homogeneity, then take by pipet an aliquotof 10 mL of the filtrate and dilute with water to 200 mL in avolumetric flask. Reserve this diluted solution for the determi-nation of the dissolved SiO2and the reduction in alkalinity.7.6 If the diluted filtrate is not to be analyzed within 4 hfollowing completion of the filtration, transfer the solution to aclean, dry polyethylene container and close the container bymeans of a stopper or tight-fitting ca
