Basis of Purchase4.1 The basis of purchase shall be a cubic yard or cubic metre of fresh concrete as discharged from the transportation 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 conc

The density shall be determined in accordance with Test Method C138/C138M. The yieldshall be determined as the average of at least three
24、 measurements, one from each of three different transportation units sampledin accordance with Practice C172C172/C172M.NOTE 1It should be understood that the volume of hardened concrete may be, or appear to be, less than expected due to waste and spillage,over-excavation, spreading forms, some loss
