13、Specific to This Standard: 3.2.1. length changean increase or decrease in the length of a test specimen that has been caused to change by any factor other than externally applied forces and temperature changes. 4. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE 4.1. Measurement of length change permits assessment of the poten

14、tial for volumetric expansion or contraction of mortar or concrete due to various causes other than applied force or temperature change. The method is particularly useful for comparative evaluation of this potential in different hydraulic-cement mortar or concrete mixtures. 4.2. This test method pro

15、vides useful information for experimental purposes or for products that require testing under nonstandard mixing, placing, handling, or curing conditions, such as high product workability or different demolding times. Standard conditions are described in Section 5.4.1. 4.3. If conditions for mixing,

16、 curing, sampling, and storage other than those specified in this method are required, they shall be reported but are not to be considered as standard conditions of this test method. Nonstandard conditions and the reasons for departure from standard conditions shall be reported clearly and prominent

17、ly with comparator values. 5. APPARATUS 5.1. Molds and Length ComparatorThe molds for casting test specimens and the length comparator for measuring length change shall conform to the requirements of M 210M/M 210. 5.2. TamperThe tamper shall be made of a nonabsorptive, nonabrasive material such as m

18、edium-hard rubber or seasoned oak wood rendered nonabsorptive by immersion for 15 min in paraffin at approximately 200C (392F), and shall have a cross section of 13 by 25 mm (0.50 by 1 in.) and a convenient length of about 150 mm (6 in.). The tamping face of the tamper shall be flat and at right ang

20、ess than 250 mm (10 in.) in length, having at least the tamping end rounded to a hemispherical tip of the same diameter. 5.4. Drying Room and ControlsA drying room with suitable racks shall be provided when storing specimens in air. The racks shall be designed for free circulation of air around spec

21、imens, except for necessary supports, and shall be so situated with respect to the nearest wall or other obstruction that air circulation is not restricted in the intervening space. The supports shall be horizontal and shall consist of two nonabsorptive members not deeper than 25 mm (1 in.) and havi

22、ng a bearing area of not more than 6 mm (0.25 in.) in width. Conditioned air shall be circulated into and out of the room in a uniform manner so that the specified rate of evaporation is attained adjacent to all specimens. 5.4.1. The air in the room shall be maintained at a temperature of 23.0 1.7C

23、(73.4 3.0F) and a relative humidity of 50 4 percent. The air movement past all specimens shall be such that the rate of evaporation is 77 30 mL/24 h from an atmometer or 13 15 mL/24 h from a 400-mL Griffin low-form beaker filled to 20 mm (0.75 in.) from the top. The temperature and relative humidity

24、 of the air in the room shall be measured with either a sling or Assmann psychrometer at least twice each working day. The psychrometer shall comply with ASTM E 337, except that thermometers having an overall length of 250 mm (10 in.) and marked in subdivisions of 0.25C (0.5F) are permitted. The roo

25、m shall be equipped with a means of measuring and recording wet- and dry-bulb temperatures continuously. Correction factors as indicated by the sling or Assmann psychrometer shall be applied to the recorded data. The rate of evaporation within the room shall be determined daily by the use of the atm

26、ometer or by the loss of mass of water from a 400-mL Griffin low-form beaker filled initially to 20 mm (0.75 in.) from the top. 5.5.

31、p. Mount the atmometer on a stand with the filter paper in a horizontal position. Mount a 100-mL glass graduate so that the 100-mL mark is from 25 to 75 mm (1 to 3 in.) below the level of the filter paper. Stopper the graduate so that entrance is provided for two short glass tubes not extending to t

32、he water level and one long tube extending to the bottom of the graduate. Connect the glass tubing leading from the bottom of the graduate to the inlet of the atmometer by means of clear plastic tubing. 2014 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserve

OperationUse clear plastic tubing to connect a squeeze bottl

34、e containing distilled or deionized water to one of the short glass tubes into the graduate. Force water into the graduate until it is about half full and then close the remaining glass tube into the graduate. Continue to force water through the graduate into the atmometer until the filter paper is

35、saturated and there are no air bubbles in the system. Open the glass tube into the graduate and release pressure on the squeeze bottle gradually to avoid trapping air in the tube leading to the atmometer. Adjust the level of water in the graduate to approximately the 100-mL mark. If the atmometer is

36、 to be used under variable temperature conditions, disconnect the squeeze bottle after filling the graduate to avoid the possibility of additional water being forced into the graduate. Permit evaporation of water from the filter paper for 1 h before recording the time and initial reading of the grad

37、uate. It is not permitted to omit the waiting period during subsequent use of the atmometer provided the filter paper does not become dry. Change the filter paper whenever it shows signs of contamination but not less frequently than once every 2 weeks. 5.6. Filter PaperThe filter paper to be used wi

38、th the atmometer shall be white with a smooth surface texture. It shall be 152 mm (6 in.) in diameter and 1.27 0.08 mm (0.050 0.003 in.) thick and shall have a cotton fiber content of not less than 75 weight. The density shall be between 0.400 and 0.425 g/cm3. The Mullen bursting strength shall not

39、be less than 345 kPa (50 psi). Note 1E and D filter paper No. 625 has been found suitable.15.7. Apparatus for Demolding SpecimensIt is useful to construct an apparatus for demolding specimens molded in double molds as detailed in Figure 3 or to a different design that serves the same purpose. When t

40、his device is to be used, the center side plate of the double mold must be appropriately drilled and tapped to receive the 8-32 (4.5-0.75 IMC) machine screw of the demolding thumb screw. Figure 4 shows the details of a suitable apparatus for demolding specimens molded in single molds. 2014 by the Am

Note 2When collecting samples in nonstandard conditions, such as field concrete, it is suggested that R

46、60 be followed. Field-cast specimens can show up to twice as much drying shrinkage as laboratory-cast specimens from the same materials and proportions. 7. TEST SPECIMENS 7.1. MortarThe test specimen for mortar shall be a prism of 25-mm (1-in.) square cross section and approximately 285 mm (11.25 in

47、.) in length. Three specimens shall be prepared for each test condition. 7.2. ConcreteThe test specimen for concrete, in which all of the aggregate passes a 50-mm (2-in.) sieve, shall be a prism of 100-mm (4-in.) square cross section and approximately 285 mm (11.25 in.) long. However, a prism of 75-

48、mm (3-in.) square cross section may be used if all of the aggregate passes a 25.0-mm (1-in.) sieve. Three specimens shall be prepared for each test condition. Since length change is capable of being influenced by the size of the specimen, specimens to be compared shall have the same dimensions and a

49、ny specification limit based upon this method shall be applied to a specified size of specimen. 2014 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.All rights reserved.
