1、Designation: C953 10C953 17Standard Test Method forTime of Setting of Grouts for Preplaced-Aggregate Concretein the Laboratory1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C953; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision
2、, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This method covers the determination test of time of setting of hydraulic cement grout mixtures used in
3、 preplaced-aggregate(PA) concrete using the vicatVicat apparatus.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It
4、 is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety safety, health, and healthenvironmental practices and determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.WarningFresh hydraulic cementitious mixtures are caustic and may causechemical burns to skin and

Test Sample7.1 The test sample shall consist of at least 300 mL of grout taken from a freshly-mixed batch pre
15、pared in accordance withPractice C938 obtained from a mixer at the laboratory or construction site.8. Procedure8.1 Warm the Vicat conical ring and base plate to approximately 100 C.8.2 Apply a thin film of paraffin wax to the base of the conical ring and place the waxed conical ring on the base plat
16、e. Placea weight on the conical ring to ensure intimate contact with the base plate and allow the conical ring and plate to cool to roomtemperature.8.3 Fill the conical ring apparatus with grout flush with its top within 2 min after completion of mixing. Strike off the grout flushwith the top of the
17、 conical ring by a single oblique stroke of a sharp-edged trowel held at a slight angle to the top of the ring.Smooth the top, if necessary, with a few light touches of the pointed end of the trowel. Take care not to compress the sample duringthese cutting and smoothing operations. The time of compl
18、etion of molding shall be taken as the start of measurement of time ofset.setting.8.4 Store the specimen in the moist room.8.5 Determine the time of setting using the procedure described in Test Method C191 except that the first reading shall be taken3 h 6 15 min after pouringmolding the specimen.NO
