16、emical composition prescribed in Table 1.6. Physical Requirements6.1 Silica fume shall conform to the physical requirementsprescribed in Table 2. Optional physical requirements are givenin Table 3.7. Sampling7.1 When the purchaser desires that the silica fume besampled and tested to verify complianc

17、e with this specification,perform the sampling and testing in accordance with PracticeC183, modified as described in 7.3.NOTE 1Exercise caution in the interpretation of Practice C183, sincethere is a difference between the continuous manufacture of hydrauliccement and the generation and collection o

18、f silica fume. To a great extent,storage is dictated by the design of the silica-fume collection system. Thedesign of silica-fume collection systems may not have provided forsampling points and practices.7.2 Practice C183, as modified, is not designed for manu-facturing quality control and is not re

19、quired for manufacturerscertification.7.3 The following modification of Practice C183 is neces-sary to render it applicable to silica fume.7.3.1 Replace the words “hydraulic cement” and “cement”with the words “silica fume” every time that they appear in thetext.7.3.2 All samples, whether grab or com

20、posite, shall have amass of at least 1 kg (2 lb).7.3.3 When compliance verification tests of silica fume arerequired to be made at a laboratory other than that of thesilica-fume manufacturer or marketer, coordinate the silica-fume sampling schedule, sample transportation time, andsample testing sche

21、dule among the purchaser, manufacturer,and testing laboratory so that the test results will be availablewhen the decision to accept or reject the silica fume must bemade.7.3.4 The section entitled “Sampling” is modified as fol-lows:7.3.4.1 Take two grab samples or two composite samplesfor the first

22、100 Mg (110 tons) of silica fume. Take a grabsample or a composite sample for each subsequent 100 Mg(110 tons) of silica fume, but not less than two samples shall betaken in any sampling program.7.3.4.2 From Bulk Storage at Points of DischargeWithdraw silica fume from the discharge openings in a ste

23、adystream until sampling is completed. In sampling bulk storage atpoints of discharge, while the silica fume is flowing through theopenings, take samples at such intervals so that, at a minimum,the sampling requirements of 7.3.4.1 are met.7.3.5 The section entitled “Amount of Testing” is modifiedby

24、deleting the first paragraph, “General.”8. Frequency of Tests8.1 Except for the tests listed in 8.2, make all chemicaldeterminations and physical tests on composite samples repre-senting no more than 400 Mg (440 tons) each. Prepare eachcomposite sample by combining portions from the samplesrepresent

25、ing each 100 Mg (110 tons), so that each 100 Mg isrepresented equally.8.2 Test for specific surface, density, and accelerated poz-zolanic strength activity index using composite samples thatrepresent 3200 Mg (3520 tons) or 3 months of production,whichever gives the highest frequency. Prepare each co

26、mpositesample by combining portions from the samples representingeach 400 Mg (440 tons) or 1 month, whichever gives thehighest frequency, so that each sample is represented equally.9. Preparation of Sample9.1 Prepare composite samples for tests, as required inSection 8, by arranging all test samples

35、ior to testing, mix grab samples and compositesamples thoroughly. A clean and dry laboratory concrete drummixer provides adequate mixing for this purpose. Take care tolimit the volume of silica fume in the drum mixer to the rangeof 10 to 50 % of the drums total capacity. If necessary, securea sheet

36、of polyethylene film on the drum with an elastictiedown to keep the material in the drum. Limit the mixingaction to 5 6 1 min.9.2.1 When a small sample size precludes the use of aconcrete mixer, use a heavy plastic bag, of a capacity at leastfive times larger than the sample volume, to mix the sampl

After placing the sample in the bag, close the bagby tying the bag opening tightly, and mix the material byrolling the bag around for 5 6 1 min.9.3 Take material for specific tests from a thoroughly mixedsample by using a sampling device (sampling tube, scoop, etc.)of appropriate size t
