These notesand footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall notbe considered as requirements of this standard.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.2. Significance and Use2.1
4、This test method is useful in developing the datarequired for conversions between mass and volume for con-crete. It can be used to determine conformance with specifica-tions for concrete and to show differences from place to placewithin a mass of concrete.3. Apparatus3.1 Balance, sensitive to 0.025
5、% of the mass of thespecimen.3.2 Container, suitable for immersing the specimen andsuitable wire for suspending the specimen in water.4. Test Specimen4.1 Whenever possible, the sample shall consist of severalindividual portions of concrete, each to be tested separately.The individual portions may be
6、 pieces of cylinders, cores, orbeams of any desired shape or size, except that the volume ofeach portion shall be not less than 350 cm3(or for normalweight concrete, approximately 800 g); and each portion shallbe free from observable cracks, fissures, or shattered edges.5. Procedure5.1 Oven-Dry Mass
7、Determine the mass of the portions,and dry in an oven at a temperature of 100 to 110 C for notless than 24 h. After removing each specimen from the oven,allow it to cool in dry air (preferably in a desiccator) to atemperature of 20 to 25 C and determine the mass. If thespecimen was comparatively dry
8、 when its mass was firstdetermined, and the second mass closely agrees with the first,consider it dry. If the specimen was wet when its mass was firstdetermined, place it in the oven for a second drying treatmentof 24 h and again determine the mass. If the third value checksthe second, consider the
9、specimen dry. In case of any doubt,redry the specimen for 24-h periods until check values of massare obtained. If the difference between values obtained fromtwo successive values of mass exceeds 0.5 % of the lesservalue, return the specimens to the oven for an additional 24-hdrying period, and repea
10、t the procedure until the differencebetween any two successive values is less than 0.5 % of thelowest value obtained. Designate this last value A.5.2 Saturated Mass After ImmersionImmerse the speci-men, after final drying, cooling, and determination of mass, inwater at approximately 21 C for not les
11、s than 48 h and untiltwo successive values of mass of the surface-dried sample atintervals of 24 h show an increase in mass of less than 0.5 %of the larger value. Surface-dry the specimen by removingsurface moisture with a towel, and determine the mass.Designate the final surface-dry mass after imme

Remove the surface moisture with a towel and

Example7.1 Assume a sample having the following characteristics:7.1.1 Mass of the solid part of the specimen = 1000 g.7.1.2 Total volume of specimen (including solids, “perme-able” voids, and “impermeable” voids) = 600 cm3.7
19、.1.3 Absolute density of solid part of specimen = 2.0 Mg/m3.7.1.4 Void space in specimen contains initially only air (nowater).7.2 Then, it follows that there are 500 cm3of solids and 100cm3of voids making up the specimen, and the void content is16 = 16.67 %.7.3 Assume that on immersion 90 mL of wat
20、er is absorbed.7.4 Assume that after immersion and boiling 95 mLof wateris absorbed.7.5 Based on the assumptions given in 7.1-7.4 above, thedata that would be developed from the procedures given inSection 5 would be as follows:7.5.1 Oven-dry mass, A = 1000 g.7.5.2 Mass in air after immersion, B = 10

Hence, such pore space as may be present in the s
25、pecimen that isnot emptied during the specified drying or is not filled with water duringthe specified immersion and boiling or both is considered “impermeable”and is not differentiated from the solid portion of the specimen for thecalculations, especially those for percent voids. In the example dis
26、cussedit was assumed that the absolute density of the solid portion of thespecimen was 2.0 Mg/m3, the total void space was 16.67 %, and theimpermeable void space was 5 cm3. The operations, if performed, and thecalculations, if performed as described, have the effect of assuming thatthere are 95 cm3o
27、f pore space and 505 cm3of solids, and indicate that thesolid material, therefore, has an apparent density of 1.98 rather than theabsolute density of 2.00 Mg/m3and the specimen has a percentage ofvoids of 15.8 rather than 16.67.Depending on the pore size distribution and the pore entry radii of thec
28、oncrete and on the purposes for which the test results are desired, theprocedures of this test method may be adequate, or they may beinsufficiently rigorous. In the event that it is desired to fill more of thepores than will be filled by immersion and boiling, various techniquesinvolving the use of
29、vacuum treatment or increased pressures may beused. If a rigorous measure of total pore space is desired, this can only beobtained by determining absolute density by first reducing the sample todiscrete particles, each of which is sufficiently small so that no imperme-able pore space can exist withi
30、n any of the particles. If the absolute densitywere determined and designated g3, then:Total void volume, % 5 g32 g1!/g33 100 (15)5 2.00 2 1.67!/2.00 3 100 5 16.58.
