9、95 kPa on asystem having a volume of not less than 1 L.6.2 Stop Watch, having a least reading of not more than 0.2s.6.3 Thermometer, accurate to 0.5C, for measuring ambientand grout temperatures.7. Sampling7.1 The test sample shall consist of at least 500 mL offreshly mixed grout representative of g
10、rout in the mixer. Bringthe temperature of the laboratory sample of grout to 23.0 62.0C and record the tempature.7.2 Maintain the ambient temperature of the room in whichthe test is performed at 23.0 6 2C and record the temperature.8. Procedure8.1 Place a wetted filter paper on the perforated plate
11、of thefiltering funnel (see Fig. 1). Keep the top of the filtering funnellevel. Apply and maintain a vacuum of at least 95 kPa in thesystem below the stopcock for the duration of the test.Introduce grout into the funnel until it is filled flush with thetop. Open the stopcock between the filtering fu
12、nnel and thegraduated cylinder and at the same time start the stop watch.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcrete and Concrete Aggregates and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC09.41 on Hydraulic Cement Grouts.Current edition approved Feb. 1, 2016.
