Number and Dimensions of
18、Test Specimens7.1 Make six 25 by 25 by 285-mm (or 1 by 1 by 1114-in.)test specimens, three from each of two batches, for eachcement.7.2 In routine tests, 25 by 25 by 160-mm (or 1 by 1 by614-in.) specimens may be used, but in case of dispute, resultsobtained with 25 by 25 by 285-mm (or 1 by 1 by 1114
19、-in.)specimens govern.8. Preparing Specimen Molds8.1 Prepare the molds in accordance with Practice C 490.9. Proportioning, Consistency, and Mixing of Mortar9.1 Use 400 g (cement plus gypsum) and 1100 g of sand foreach batch. Use 194 mL of mixing water for all non-air-entraining portland cements, and
20、 184 mL of mixing water forall air-entraining portland cements.9.2 Mix the mortar according to the procedure for mixingmortars of Practice C 305, except after placing the mixingwater in the bowl, add the gypsum and mix at the slow speedfor 15 s, then stop the mixer, add the cement, and continue aspr
21、escribed in Practice C 305.10. Procedure10.1 Molding Test Specimens:10.1.1 Immediately upon completion of the flow test, returnthe mortar to the bowl, scrape down into the batch any mortaron the side of the bowl, and remix at the medium speed (2856 10 r/min) for 15 s. Remove the paddle and the bowl
22、from themixer and shake the excess mortar from the paddle into thebowl. Fill the mold in two layers, each layer being compactedwith the tamper. Work the mortar into the corners, around thegage studs, and along the surfaces of the mold with the tamperuntil a homogeneous specimen is obtained. After th
23、e top layerhas been compacted, cut the mortar off flush with the top of themold and smooth the surface with a few strokes of the trowel.10.2 Storage of Test Specimens:10.2.1 Initial StorageCure the specimens in the molds inthe moist closet at 23 6 2 C (73.5 6 3.5 F) for 22 to 23 h.Then remove them f
24、rom the molds, properly identify, and placein water at 23 6 2 C (73.5 6 3.5 F) for at least 30 min priorto making the initial length measurement.10.2.2 Subsequent StorageAfter the bars have been re-moved from the molds and measured, store them horizontallyin water at 23 6 2 C (73.5 6 3.5 F). Store t
25、he specimens withat least 6-mm (14-in.) clearance on all sides except for thenecessary supports. Cover the specimens with at least 13 mm(12 in.) of water. Use a volume of water that does not exceed5 times the volume of the bars to prevent excessive leaching.Replenish the water with fresh water every
26、 7 days for the first28 days and every 28 days thereafter.11. Length Measurement11.1 Measure the specimens for length by means of thelength comparator. Remove them from the water storage, oneat a time, and wipe with a damp cloth before measuring.11.2 Make the first reading at the age of 24 h 6 15 mi
27、n fromthe time the cement and water are mixed together. Measure thespecimen again at the age of 14 days.NOTE 1Additional information of value may be obtained by returningthe specimen to water storage after the 14-day test and making additionalmeasurements at later ages.12. Calculation12.1 Calculate
28、the difference in length of the specimen at 24h and at 14 days to the nearest 0.001 % of the effective gagelength and report as the expansion of the specimen at thatperiod. All specimens remaining after 14 days must comprise aset having at least three specimens with a permissible rangedepending on t
29、he number of the remaining specimens, asfollows:No. of Specimens Maximum Permissible Range, %3 0.01040.15 0.0126 0.01213. Report13.1 Report the average of the specimens comprising the setto the nearest 0.001 %.14. Precision and Bias14.1 Precision:14.1.1 The single-operator standard deviation has bee
30、nfound to be: 0.003 % for expansions between 0.01 and 0.04 %.Therefore, results of two properly conducted tests by the sameoperator on the same material should not differ from each otherby more than 0.009 %.4The sole source of supply of the apparatus known to the committee at this timeis TerraAlba N

Your comments will receive careful consideration at ameeting of the responsible technical committee,1which you may attend.C452062
32、14.1.2 The multilaboratory standard deviation has beenfound to be 0.005 % for expansions between 0.01 and 0.04 %.Therefore, results of two properly conducted tests on the samematerial in two different laboratories should not differ fromeach other by more than 0.014 %.14.1.3 The precision of this tes
33、t method has been evaluatedby cooperative testing.514.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining the bias for this test method, nostatement on bias is being made.15.
