Summary of Practice3.1 Coarse aggregate is placed in a standard cylinder moldhaving end plates to which pipe fittings have been attached.Grout is
7、 pumped into the mold until full. The test cylinder,demolded after hardening, may be cured and used for deter-mination of strength or cut into prisms for the determination ofunit weight.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice is used for making test cylinders or prismsof PA concrete. Cylinders are
8、used for determining compres-sive strength and approximate density. Prisms, cut from cylin-ders, eliminate the surface effect and thus more accuratelyrepresent the actual density of PA concrete in place.5. Apparatus5.1 Cylinder Molds (Fig. 1), cast iron or steel, for making150 by 300-mm (6 by 12-in.
9、) cylinders. Base and top platesshall be arranged for tight assembly to the cylinder. All matingand inside surfaces shall be machined smooth such that theassembled mold will be essentially watertight. End plates shallbe drilled and tapped at their centers for standard 19 mm(34-in.) pipe nipples. The
10、 top end plate shall also be perforated,as shown in Fig. 2.5.2 Venting Fabric, white cotton cloth, free of oil andgrease.5.3 Grouting Apparatus (Fig. 3), capable of deliveringgrout at a uniform rate of 1.4 to 2.8 L (0.05 to 0.10 ft3)/min atpressures up to 345 kPa (50 psi).5.4 Mallet, with rubber or
11、rawhide head weighing approxi-mately14 kg (12 lb).5.5 Platform Scales, accurate to within 0.3 % of the test loadat any point within the range of use.5.6 Stop Watch, least reading not more than 0.2 s.5.7 Flow ConeSee Test Method C 939.5.8 Thermometer, accurate to 0.5C (1F), for measuringambient and g

Sampling7.1 Coarse aggregate shall be representative of materialused or to be used in the work or of that tested and stockpiledfor test work.7.2 Grout to be used in making PA concrete cylinders shallbe typical of the batch from which it is drawn.8. Preparation and Measurement of Pris
17、ms8.1 When the determination of unit weight is required,prisms shall be cut from the central portions of the cylinders todimensions as close as feasible to 101 by 101 by 254 mm (4 by4 by 10 in.). Weigh the specimen to an accuracy of at least 1part in 250. Compute the volume from the averages of twom
18、easurements of each dimension, taken to the nearest 0.25 mm(0.01 in.).9. Procedure9.1 Temperature:9.1.1 When test cylinders are prepared in the laboratory,bring all materials to and maintain the laboratory in a tempera-ture range of 23.0 6 2.0C (73.5 6 3.5F).9.1.2 When test cylinders are prepared in
19、 the field, recordambient temperature in the vicinity of test operation.9.2 Place each cylinder mold upright on its bottom plate ona firm, level surface.9.3 Place the coarse aggregate in the mold in three approxi-mately equal layers. Consolidate each layer by striking themold ten times around its pe
20、riphery with the mallet. When themold has been filled, strike off the contents so that no aggregateparticle projects above the plane of the top of the mold.9.4 Place a single layer of venting fabric, in which a holehas been cut to match the 19-mm (34-in.) hole in the top endplate, over the aggregate
21、. Place the top plate on the mold,install bolts, and tighten. Attach the top and bottom valveassemblies and prepare to connect to hose from grout pump, asshown in Fig. 3.9.5 Measure flow (Test Method C 939) and temperature ofthe representative sample of grout.

Then strip molds and curecylinders in accordance with the section on Curing of PracticeC 192/C 192M.10.2 Protect field-made specimens during in

When large amounts of pozzolan are used in the groutmixture or in cool curing conditions, delay stripping ofcylinders to avoid damaging the specimens.11.
