3、7.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers slag cement for use as acementitious material in concrete and mortar.NOTE 1The material described in this specification may be used forblending with portland cement to produce a cement meeting the require-ments of Specification C595/C595M or as a separate ing
4、redient inconcrete or mortar mixtures. The material may also be useful in a varietyof special grouts and mortars, and when used with an appropriateactivator, as the principal cementitious material in some applications.NOTE 2Information on technical aspects of the use of the materialdescribed in this
5、 specification is contained in Appendix X1, Appendix X2,and Appendix X3. More detailed information on that subject is containedin ACI 233R-03.21.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theinch-pound units are shown in brac
6、kets. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard. Values are stated in only SI units wheninch-pound units are not used in practice.1.
7、3 The text of this standard references notes and footnotesthat provide explanatory information. These notes and foot-notes (excluding those in tables) shall not be considered asrequirements of this standard.1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest methods described in this sp
8、ecification. This standard doesnot purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any,associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of thisstandard to establish appropriate safety and health practicesand determine the applicability of regulatory limitations priorto use.2. Referenc

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in this testmethod, refer to Terminology C125.4. Classification4.1 Slag cement is classified by perform
18、ance in the slagactivity test in three grades: Grade 80, Grade 100, and Grade120 (see Table 1).5. Ordering Information5.1 The purchaser shall specify the grade of slag cementdesired and the optional chemical or physical data to bereported.6. Additions6.1 Slag cement covered by this specification sha
19、ll containno additions except as follows:6.1.1 It is permissible to add calcium sulfate to slag cementprovided it has been demonstrated by Test Method C1038/C1038M that a test mixture will not develop expansion inwater exceeding 0.020 % at 14 days. In the test mixture, 50 %of the mass of portland ce
20、ment shall be replaced by an equalmass of slag cement. The portland cement used in the testmixture shall meet the requirements of Specification C150/C150M. When the manufacturer supplies cement under thisprovision, upon request, supporting data shall be supplied tothe purchaser.6.1.2 When processing
21、 additions are used in the manufac-ture of slag cement, the maximum amount used shall complywith the requirements of Specification C465 when tested usinga blend that is 50 % slag cement and 50 % portland cement bymass.7. Chemical Composition7.1 Slag cement shall conform to the chemical requirementsp
22、rescribed in Table 2.8. Physical Properties8.1 Slag cement shall conform to the physical requirementsof Table 1.9. Sampling9.1 The following sampling and testing procedures shall beused by the purchaser to verify compliance with this specifi-cation.NOTE 3Sulfur in granulated blast-furnace slag is pr
23、esent predomi-nantly as sulfide sulfur. In most cases, instrumental analyses, such as x-rayfluorescence, cannot differentiate sulfide sulfur from sulfate. Determineand report the sulfide sulfur content separately, and do not include it in theSO3calculations.9.2 Take random grab samples either from a
24、 delivery unit orat some point in the loading or unloading process so that nosample represents more than 115 Mg 125 tons (Note 4). Ifsamples are taken from rail cars or trucks, take at least twoseparate 2-kg 5-lb portions and thoroughly mix them toobtain a test sample (Note 5). Sample by removing ap
25、proxi-mately a 300-mm 12-in. layer of slag cement. Make a holebefore obtaining a sample to avoid dust collector material thathas discharged into the delivery unit after the predominant slagcement flow has ceased. Sample at a rate of one sample permonth or one sample for each 2300 Mg 2500 tons ofship
26、ments, whichever is more frequent.NOTE 4Standard statistical procedures are recommended for ensuringthat samples are selected by a random procedure; see Practice D3665.These procedures can be used to select the days within a month or withina week that samples will be taken. The delivery unit or time
27、 of day thenshould be chosen randomly.NOTE 5The quantity of sample specified is more than adequate for thetesting required. A 2-kg 5-lb portion should be retained in a sealedcontainer for retesting if that is considered necessary to verify compliance.10. Test Methods10.1 Slag-Activity Tests with Por
28、tland Cement:10.1.1 Slag activity shall be evaluated by determining thecompressive strength of portland-cement mortars and thecorresponding mortars made with the same mass of a blend thatis 50 % slag cement and 50 % portland cement by mass.NOTE 6Appendix X1 discusses the effects of cement, temperatu
29、re,and amount of slag cement used on performance with portland cement.10.1.2 Reference CementThe portland cement used in theslag activity tests shall be the common reference cementsupplied by CCRL4that complies with the standard chemicaland physical requirements of Specification C150/C150M, TypeI or

The same slag cement and CCRL reference cementwere used at each of 22 laboratories (Note 8).NOTE 8The precision of this test method was determined from aninterlaboratory study (ILS) under the jurisdiction of ASTM SubcommitteeC09.27. The ILS program was conducted in 2015. Practice

The details are given inRR:C09-1048.610.1.7.1 The single-laboratory standard deviation has beenfound to be 1.65 % at 7 days and 2.62 % at 28 days. Therefore,the slag activity indices of properly conducted tests based onsingle batches of morta
