18、of the concrete. Exercisecare to ensure that the sample is representative of the pour, avoiding the beginning or ending of the discharge from the equipment.Prepare the test specimens as described in Section 6, by filling them with a scoop of lightweight insulating concrete dipped fromthe bucket.5.1.

Do not rodthe concrete.6.4 Finishing SurfaceStrike off the specimens immediately after filling the molds. Cover them in such a manner as to preventevaporation without marring the
23、surface (Note 1). If desired, cover the filled mold with a glass or metal plate to obtain a surfacethat will be suitable for testing without capping and with a minimum of grinding.NOTE 1It is desirable to place the filled mold in a moist room if one is available. If this is done, protect the surface
