    1、Designation: C 231 08aStandard Test Method forAir Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the PressureMethod1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 231; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last r

    2、evision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers determination of

    3、the air contentof freshly mixed concrete from observation of the change involume of concrete with a change in pressure.1.2 This test method is intended for use with concretes andmortars made with relatively dense aggregates for which theaggregate correction factor can be satisfactorily determined by

    4、the technique described in Section 6. It is not applicable toconcretes made with lightweight aggregates, air-cooled blast-furnace slag, or aggregates of high porosity. In these cases, TestMethod C 173/C 173M should be used. This test method isalso not applicable to nonplastic concrete such as is com

    5、monlyused in the manufacture of pipe and concrete masonry units.1.3 The text of this test method references notes andfootnotes that provide explanatory information. These notesand footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall notbe considered as requirements of this standard.1.41.5 This st

    6、andard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.

    9、e Terms Precision and Bias inASTM Test Methods3. Significance and Use3.1 This test method covers the determination of the aircontent of freshly mixed concrete. The test determines the aircontent of freshly mixed concrete exclusive of any air that mayexist inside voids within aggregate particles. For

    10、 this reason, itis applicable to concrete made with relatively dense aggregateparticles and requires determination of the aggregate correctionfactor (see 6.1 and 9.1).3.2 This test method and Test Method C 138/C 138M andC 173/C 173M provide pressure, gravimetric, and volumetricprocedures, respective

    11、ly, for determining the air content offreshly mixed concrete. The pressure procedure of this testmethod gives substantially the same air contents as the othertwo test methods for concretes made with dense aggregates.3.3 The air content of hardened concrete may be eitherhigher or lower than that dete

    12、rmined by this test method. Thisdepends upon the methods and amount of consolidation effortapplied to the concrete from which the hardened concretespecimen is taken; uniformity and stability of the air bubbles inthe fresh and hardened concrete; accuracy of the microscopicexamination, if used; time o

    13、f comparison; environmentalexposure; stage in the delivery, placement and consolidationprocesses at which the air content of the unhardened concreteis determined, that is, before or after the concrete goes througha pump; and other factors.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee

Rough handling will affect thecalibration of both Types A and B meters. Changes in baro-metric pressure will affect the calibration of Type A meter butnot Type B meter

    41、. The steps describedA1.2-A1.6, as applicableto the meter type under consideration, are prerequisites for thefinal calibration test to determine the operating pressure, P,onthe pressure gauge of the TypeAmeter as described inA1.7,orto determine the accuracy of the graduations indicating aircontent o

The steps in A1.2-A1.6 need bemade only once (at the time of initial calibration), or onlyoccasionally to check volume constancy of the calibrationcylinder and measuring bowl. The calibration test described inA1.7 and A1.

    43、9, as applicable to the meter type being checked,must be made as frequently as necessary and at intervals not toexceed three months to ensure that the proper gauge pressure,P, is being used for the Type A meter or that the correct aircontents are being indicated on the pressure gauge air contentscal

    44、e for the Type B meter. A change in elevation of more than600 ft (183 m) from the location at which a Type-A meter waslast calibrated will require recalibration in accordance withA1.7.5.2 Calibration RecordsInformation to be maintained inthe records shall include determination of expansion factor;si

Determination of Aggregate Correction Factor6.1 ProcedureDetermine the aggregate correction factoron a combined sample of fine and coarse aggregate as directedin 6.2 to 6.4. It is determined independen
