Significance and Use4.1 This test method is designed to evaluate the bleedstability of a freshly-mixed grout under static pressure. It canbe used in both the laboratory to qualify
10、 grout materials and inthe field as a quality control test. When used to qualify groutmaterials, replicate tests may be specified. It is intended thatthe test pressure, acceptance criteria, and number of replicatetests be set forth in the contract documents if this test methodis referenced. These va

18、lA 47-mm diameter stainless steelpressure filtration funnel with a nominal capacity of 200 mL asshown in Fig. 2. The filtration funnel shall have removablethreaded caps at both ends with a stem for connection of thegas supply and a 7.0 6 0.5 mm inside diameter stem 90 6 1mm long for escape of water.
19、 The base of the vessel shallcontain a 35 6 1 mm diameter stainless steel 45 m (No. 325)screen that supports a 47 mm diameter Type A/E borosilicateglass filter (1-m pore size) as shown in Fig. 2. The screen shallbe inserted with the woven side against the glass filter, and thefunnel gasket shall be
20、placed above the glass filter as shown inFig. 2. The glass filter shall cover the screen across the insidediameter of the bottom cap and be located under the gasketwhen under pressure. Secure the bottom cap before filling thefiltration funnel with grout. The funnel is placed in the standafter it is
21、filled.5.1.2 StandThe filtration funnel shall be attached to astand capable of holding the funnel in the vertical position withadequate space for the bleed water collection container. Thebottom stem of the filtration funnel shall be inserted into thebleed water collection container.5.1.3 Gas SupplyA
22、n air or other inert gas pressure supplywith a pressure regulator, an in-line shutoff valve, and pressuregauge shall be firmly attached to the top stem of the filtrationfunnel. The pressure gauge shall be capable of reading pres-sures up to 700 kPa with 20 kPa graduation marks.5.1.4 Metal Drip WickA
23、 metal paper clip or suitable thinmetal wire or rod shall be bent to direct the water squeezed outof the filtration funnel into the collection vessel.NOTE 2A wire of approximately 1 mm diameter has been foundsatisfactory for the drip wick.5.1.5 Bleed Water Collection ContainerThe bleed watercollecti
24、on container shall consist of a 10-mL transparentgraduated cylinder with 0.2-mL graduation marks.6. Sample Preparation6.1 Grout shall be mixed in accordance with the manufac-turers instructions or in accordance with Practice C938 if noother instructions are provided. For field quality control testin
25、g,the grout shall be mixed using the same equipment andprocedure as used for the installation of the material.7. Procedure7.1 Fill the filtration funnel with freshly-mixed grout within5 min after completion of grout mixing.7.2 Screw the top stem cap on the funnel hand tight whilekeeping the funnel i
26、n an upright position.7.3 Place the funnel in the stand.7.4 Connect the gas supply (gas pressure at 0 kPa).7.5 Allow grout to rest in the funnel for 10 min (630 s) aftergrout placement.7.6 Increase pressure to the specified pressure level (620kPa) within 30 s.7.7 Hold at the specified pressure for 5
27、 min (65 s) unless alonger time is specified.NOTE 3This test can be kept at the designated pressure beyond 5 minto confirm the long term bleed stability of the grout and this deviationshould be noted in the report.FIG. 1 Test ApparatusC1741 1827.8 Release the pressure and tip the filtration funnel s
28、lightlyto break the surface tension and allow the bleed waterremaining in the exit stem to be collected as part of the bleedvolume to be measured.7.9 Measure the volume of the collected bleed water to thenearest 0.2 mL at the end of the hold time.7.10 If a complete loss of pressure occurs before com
29、pletionof the 5-min hold period, the test is considered invalid for thespecified pressure level.NOTE 4Loss of pressure in this test generally occurs as a “blowout”or complete loss of pressure with gas blowing out of the stem.8.

Precision and Bias9.1 PrecisionThe standard deviation obtained by oneoperator
31、has been determined to be 0.03 % bleeding by volumebased on three replicate tests at 140 kPa for a grout with anaverage bleeding of 1.6 % by volume. For a grout tested at 220kPa with an average bleeding of 0.6 % by volume, the standarddeviation obtained by one operator has been determined to be0.17
32、% based on three replicate tests.NOTE 5The reproducibility of this test method is not provided at thistime because there has not been any study conducted for multi-laboratoryprecision. The reproducibility of this test method is being determined andis expected to be available on or before December 20

34、183APPENDIX(Nonmandatory Information)X1. REFERENCE FOR SPECIFICATION LIMITS FOR PRESSURIZED BLEED TESTX1.1 When tested using the pressurized bleed test, themaximum percentage of permitted bleeding in grout should bespecified in contract documents. Normally, the specificationrequirements for test pre
35、ssure and maximum percentage bleed-ing will differ depending on the vertical rise of the post-tensioning tendons being used.X1.2 The bleed limits for the test pressures based on workby Hamilton, Schokker, and Schupack6should result in groutwith little or no bleeding for the given vertical rise. Thes
36、e bleedlimits apply to the grout sample tested in accordance with thistest method for a duration of 5 min of applied pressure and donot represent the permitted amount of bleeding when the groutmixture is used in the actual structure.SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee C09 has identified the location of sele
