Basis of Purchase4.1 The basis of purchase shall be a cubic yard or cubic metre of fresh concrete as discharged from the transportatio
22、n unit.4.2 The volume of fresh concrete in a given batch shall be determined from the total mass of the batch divided by the densityof the concrete. The total mass of the batch shall be determined as the net mass of the concrete in the batch as delivered, includingthe total mixing water as defined i

The yieldshall be determined as the average of at least three measurements, one from each of three different transportation units sampledin accordance with Practice C172.NOTE 1It should be understood that the volume of
24、 hardened concrete may be, or appear to be, less than expected due to waste and spillage,over-excavation, spreading forms, some loss of entrained air, or settlement of wet mixtures, none of which are the responsibility of the producer.5.

34、equired quality,6.1.6 When structural lightweight concrete is specified, the mass per unit volume as wet mass, air-dry mass, or oven-dry mass(Note 5), and6.1.7 If desired, any of the optional requirements of Table 2 in Specification C1602/C1602M. .6.2 If the type, kind, or class of cementitious mate
35、rials in 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 are not designated by the purchaser, it is permittedto use cementitious materials in concrete mixtures that will satisfy the concrete properties and other requirements of the purchaseras ordered.NOTE 4In selecting the specified air content, the purchaser should consider the
36、exposure conditions to which the concrete will be subjected. Aircontents less than shown in Table 1 may not give the required resistance to freezing and thawing, which is the primary purpose of air-entrained concrete.Air contents higher than the levels shown may reduce strength without contributing
37、any further improvement of durability.NOTE 5The mass per unit volume of fresh concrete, which is the only unit mass determinable at the time of delivery, is always higher than the air-dryor oven-dry mass. Definitions of, and methods for determining or calculating air-dry and oven-dry masses, are cov
