It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2. Significance and Use2.1 This test
5、 method is useful in developing the data required for conversions between mass and volume for concrete. It canbe used to determine conformance with specifications for concrete and to show differences from place to place within a mass ofconcrete.3. Apparatus3.1 Balance, sensitive to 0.025 % of the ma
6、ss of the specimen.3.2 Container, suitable for immersing the specimen and suitable wire for suspending the specimen in water.4. Test Specimen4.1 Whenever possible, the sample shall consist of several individual portions of concrete, each to be tested separately. Theindividual portions may be pieces
7、of cylinders, cores, or beams of any desired shape or size, except that the volume of each portionshall be not less than 350 cm3 (or for normal weight concrete, approximately 800 g); and each portion shall be free from observablecracks, fissures, or shattered edges.5. Procedure5.1 Oven-Dry MassDeter
8、mine the mass of the portions, and dry in an oven at a temperature of 100 to 110110 6 5 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 a temperatureof 20 to 25 C and determine the mass. If the specimen was comparatively
9、 dry when its mass was first determined, and the secondmass closely agrees with the first, consider it dry. If the specimen was wet when its mass was first determined, place it in the ovenfor a second drying treatment of 24 h and again determine the mass. If the third value checks the second, consid
10、er the specimendry. In case of any doubt, redry the specimen for 24-h periods until check values of mass are obtained. If the difference betweenvalues obtained from two successive values of mass exceeds 0.5 % of the lesser value, return the specimens to the oven for anadditional 24-h drying period,
11、and repeat the procedure until the difference between any two successive values is less than 0.5 %of the lowest value obtained. Designate this last value A.5.2 Saturated Mass After ImmersionImmerse the specimen, after final drying, cooling, and determination of mass, in waterat approximately 21 C fo

United States15.3 Saturated Mass After BoilingPlace the specimen, processed as described in 5.2, in a suitable receptacle, covered with tapwater, and boil for
17、 5 h. Allow it to cool by natural loss of heat for not less than 14 h to a final temperature of 20 to 25 C. Removethe surface moisture with a towel and determine the mass of the specimen.

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, “permeable” voids, and “impermeable” voids) = 600 cm3.7.1.3 Absolute density of solid part of specimen =
22、2.0 Mg/m3.7.1.4 Void space in specimen contains initially only air (no water).7.2 Then, it follows that there are 500 cm3 of solids and 100 cm3 of voids making up the specimen, and the void content is 16= 16.67 %.7.3 Assume that on immersion 90 mL of water is absorbed.7.4 Assume that after immersion
23、 and boiling 95 mL of water is absorbed.7.5 Based on the assumptions given in 7.1-7.4 above, the data that would be developed from the procedures given in Section5 would be as follows:7.5.1 Oven-dry mass, A = 1000 g.7.5.2 Mass in air after immersion, B = 1090 g.7.5.3 Mass in air after immersion and
24、boiling, C = 1095 g.7.5.4 Apparent mass in water after immersion and boiling, D = 495 g.NOTE 1Since loss of mass in water is equal to mass of displaced water, and volume of specimen = 600 cm3, mass of specimen in water afterimmersion and boiling is 1095 600 = 495 g.7.6 By using the data given above

Hence, such pore space as may be present in the specimen that is notemptied during the
28、specified drying or is not filled with water during the specified immersion and boiling or both is considered “impermeable” and isnot differentiated from the solid portion of the specimen for the calculations, especially those for percent voids. In the example discussed it was assumedthat the absolu
29、te density of the solid portion of the specimen was 2.0 Mg/m3, the total void space was 16.67 %, and the impermeable void space was5 cm3. The operations, if performed, and the calculations, if performed as described, have the effect of assuming that there are 95 cm3 of pore space and505 cm3 of solid
30、s, and indicate that the solid material, therefore, has an apparent density of 1.98 rather than the absolute density of 2.00 Mg/m3 and thespecimen has a percentage of voids of 15.8 rather than 16.67.Depending on the pore size distribution and the pore entry radii of the concrete and on the purposes
31、for which the test results are desired, the proceduresof this test method may be adequate, or they may be insufficiently rigorous. In the event that it is desired to fill more of the pores than will be filled byimmersion and boiling, various techniques involving the use of vacuum treatment or increa
32、sed pressures may be used. If a rigorous measure of total porespace is desired, this can only be obtained by determining absolute density by first reducing the sample to discrete particles, each of which is sufficientlysmall so that no impermeable pore space can exist within any of the particles.
