29、d these ingredients in increments and remix the batches.With the first increment of water and air-entraining admixture, if appli-cable, follow the mixing procedures specified in the previous section. Ifthe slump, or flow, or air content is less than required, add additional wateror air-entraining ad

30、mixture and remix the batch. For mortar mixtures,remix at slow speed for 30 s. For concrete, remix the batch for 1 min.Remixing is permitted as often as necessary, provided the elapsed timefrom the start of initial mixing to the completion of mixing does notexceed 30 min. Cover the mixer to minimize

31、 evaporation when tests offresh properties are being performed. These are trial batches only and arenot to be used for testing.6.5 Test MortarFor mixing test mortar, follow PracticeC 305, with the following changes:6.5.1 For Latex Polymer Modifiers:6.5.1.1 Place all the polymer modifier (with antifo

32、am agent,as required) and mixing water in the bowl.6.5.1.2 Add the cement to the bowl; start the mixer and mixat the slow speed (140 6 5 r/min) for 30 s.6.5.2 For Powder Polymer Modifiers:6.5.2.1 Blend all the polymer modifier (with antifoam agent,as required) and cement, within1hofmixing the mortar

34、 to starting rota-tion of the mixer, add the coarse aggregate, polymer modifier,and approximately half of the water. Rotate the mixer a fewrevolutions, then add the fine aggregate, cement and remainingC1439082water. Mix the concrete for 3 min, followed by a 1 minute rest,followed by 1 min final mixi

35、ng. Cover the open end of themixer during the rest period to prevent evaporation. Takeprecautions to compensate for mortar retained by the mixer sothat the discharged batch, as used, will be correctly propor-tioned (see Note 2).6.6.2 For Powder Polymer ModifiersBlend all the poly-mer modifier (with

36、antifoam agent, as required) and cement,within1hofmixing the concrete. Prior to starting rotation ofthe mixer, add the coarse aggregate and approximately half ofthe water. Rotate the mixer a few revolutions, then add the fineaggregate, cement/polymer modifier blend, and remainingwater. Mix the concr

37、ete for 3 min, followed by a 1 min rest,followed by 1 min final mixing. Cover the open end of themixer during the rest period to prevent evaporation. Takeprecautions to compensate for mortar retained by the mixer sothat the discharged batch, as used, will be correctly propor-tioned (see Note 2).NOTE

38、 2It is difficult to recover all of the mortar from mixers. Tocompensate for this difficulty one of the following procedures may be usedto ensure the correct final proportions in the batch:(1) “Buttering the Mixer”Just prior to mixing the test batch, themixer is “buttered” by mixing a batch proporti

39、oned to simulate closely thetest batch. The mortar adhering to the mixer after discharging is intendedto compensate for loss of mortar from the test batch.(2) “Over-Mortaring” the MixtureThe test mixture is proportionedby the use of an excess mortar, the amount established in advance, tocompensate f

40、or that which, on the average, adheres to the mixer. In thiscase the mixer is cleaned before mixing the test batch.7.
