3、se.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of the densityof hydraulic cement. Its particular usefulness is in connectionwith the design and control of concrete mixtures.1.2 The density of hydraulic cement is defined as the massof a unit volume of the solids.1.3 The values stated in SI

4、 units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.4 WarningFresh hydraulic cementitious mixtures arecaustic and may cause chemical burns to skin and tissue uponprolonged exposure.21.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns

5、, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety, health, and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.6 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with inte

Apparatus5.1 Le Chatelier flaskThe standard flask, which is circularin cross section, with shape and dimensions conformingessentially to Fig. 1 (Note). The requirements in regard

10、totolerance, inscription and length, spacing, and uniformity ofgraduation will be rigidly observed. There shall be a space ofat least 10 mm between the highest graduation mark and thelowest point of grinding for the glass stopper.5.1.1 The material of construction shall be excellent qualityglass, tr

11、ansparent and free of striae. The glass shall bechemically resistant and shall have small thermal hysteresis.The flasks shall be thoroughly annealed before being gradu-ated. They shall be of sufficient thickness to ensure reasonableresistance to breakage.5.1.2 The neck shall be graduated from 0 to 1

12、 mL and from18 to 24 mL in 0.1-mL graduations. The error of any indicatedcapacity shall not be greater than 0.05 mL.5.1.3 Each flask shall bear a permanent identification num-ber and the stopper, if not interchangeably ground, shall bearthe same number. Interchangeable ground-glass parts shall bemar

The standard temperatureshall be indicated, and the unit of capacity shall be shown bythe letters “mL” placed above the highest graduation mark.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C01 on Ce

United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles

17、for theDevelopment of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.15.2 Kerosine, free of water, or naphtha, having a densitygreater than 0.73 g/mL at 23 6 2C shall be used in the densitydetermination.5.3 The u

18、se of alternative equipment or methods for deter-mining density is permitted provided that a single operator canobtain results within 60.03 g/cm3of the results obtained usingthe flask method.NOTE 1The design is intended to ensure complete drainage of theflask when emptied, and stability of standing

19、on a level surface, as well asaccuracy and precision of reading.5.3.1 The following alternative methods using helium fordensity determination are permitted:5.3.1.1 The methodology as described in Test Method C604.Sections of the standard relating to grinding the sample shall beomitted because cement

20、 is already a powder.5.3.1.2 The methodology as described in Test MethodD2638. Sections of the standard relating to grinding the sampleshall be omitted because cement is already a powder.6. Procedure6.1 Determine the density of cement on the material asreceived, unless otherwise specified. If the de

21、nsity determina-tion on a loss-free sample is required, first ignite the sample asdescribed in the loss on ignition section on Portland Cement ofTest Methods C114.6.2 Fill the flask (Note 2) with either of the liquids specifiedin 5.2 to a point on the stem between the 0 and the 1-mL mark.Dry the ins

22、ide of the flask above the level of the liquid, ifnecessary, after pouring. Weigh the flask, containing the liquid,and record the mass, Ma, to the nearest 0.05 g. Record the firstreading of liquid height after the flask has been immersed in thewater bath (Note 3) in accordance with 6.4.NOTE 2It is a

23、dvisable to use a rubber pad on the table top when fillingor rolling the flask.NOTE 3Before the cement has been added to the flask, a loose-fitting,lead-ring weight around the stem of the flask will be helpful in holding theflask in an upright position in the water bath, or the flask may be held int

24、he water bath by a buret clamp.6.3 Introduce a quantity of cement in small increments atthe same temperature as the liquid (Note 2) sufficient to bringthe liquid level in its final position to some point within theupper series of graduation (Note 4). Take care to avoidsplashing and see that the ceme

25、nt does not adhere to the insideof the flask above the liquid (Note 5). A vibrating apparatusmay be used to accelerate the introduction of the cement intothe flask and to prevent the cement from sticking to the neck.After all the cement has been introduced, weigh the flask againto the nearest 0.05 g

26、 and record the mass, Mt. Then, place thestopper in the flask and roll the flask in an inclined position(Note 2), or gently whirl it in a horizontal circle, so as to freeentrapped air from the cement until no further air bubbles riseto the surface of the liquid. Take the final reading after the flas

27、khas been immersed in the water bath in accordance with 6.4.NOTE 4The amount of cement required will typically be about 64 gfor Portland cement, and somewhat less for other types of cements.NOTE 5Using funnels to introduce the powder can help in ensuringthat all particles are introduced without spil

28、lage while minimizing theiradherence to the top inside portion of the flask.6.4 Immerse the flask in a constant-temperature water bathfor sufficient periods of time in order to avoid flask temperaturevariations greater than 0.2C between the initial and the finalreadings.7. Calculation7.1 The differe

29、nce between the first and the final readingsrepresents the volume of liquid displaced by the mass ofcement used in the test.7.2 Calculation of the cement density:7.2.1 Calculate the mass of cement used in testing, Mc:Mc=Mt2 Ma(1)Where:Mc= Mass of cement used, g,Mt= Mass of the flask, g, containing t

Calculate the specific gravity (sp gr)as follows:sp gr = cement density/water density at 4C(where the density of water at 4C 1 g cm3)8. Precisio

34、n and Bias8.1 The single-operator standard deviation for portlandcements has been found to be 0.012.4Therefore, the results oftwo properly conducted tests by the same operator on the samematerial should not differ by more than 0.03.8.2 The multilaboratory standard deviation for portlandcements has b

35、een found to be 0.037.4Therefore, the results oftwo properly conducted tests from two different laboratories onsamples of the same cement should not differ by more than0.10.48.3 Since there is no accepted reference material suitable fordetermining any bias that might be associated with this testmeth
