Significance and Use5.1 The measured or calculated equilibrium density of structural lightweight concrete determines whether specified densityrequirements have been met. Unless otherwise specified, determine equilibrium density by calculation using th
17、e procedures in 9.2.5.2 Test Method C138/C138M shall be used to determine the density of freshly mixed lightweight concrete for compliance withconcrete placement specifications.NOTE 1The fresh density of lightweight aggregate concrete is a function of mixture proportions, air content, water demand,
18、and the specific densityand moisture content of the lightweight aggregate. Decrease in density of a specific lightweight concrete is due to moisture loss that, in turn, is a functionof aggregate moisture content, ambient conditions, and the ratio of the surface area to the volume of the concrete mem
19、ber. For most structural lightweightconcretes, equilibrium density is approached at about 90 days. For most high-strength lightweight concretes, equilibrium density is approached at about180 days. Extensive tests demonstrate that despite variations in the initial moisture content of lightweight aggr
20、egate, the equilibrium density will beapproximately 50 kg/m3 3.0 lb/ft3 greater than the oven-dry density.6.

48、 The precision statements will be included when the data is compiled and reviewed.As therewere no available standard reference materials at the time of this study, bias cannot be determined.NOTE 5The precision of this test method is based on an interlaboratory study conducted in 2011.Atotal of eight
