17、8-2959. United States14. Summary of Test Method4.1 A mortar is prepared with the cement to be tested, using specified quantities of cement, standard sand, and an amount ofwater that will produce a mortar with an initial penetration of 46 6 3 mm, using the modified Vicat apparatus. Measurements ofpen

18、etration are made at stipulated intervals after the beginning of the mixing procedure. Upon completion of the first series ofpenetration measurements, the mortar is returned to the mixer to be remixed. Following the remix procedure, an additionalpenetration, termed the remix penetration, is determin

19、ed.The report is a tabulation of the penetration measurements and the amountof mixing water used.5. Significance and Use5.1 The purpose of this test method is to determine the degree to which a cement mortar develops early stiffening. It is intendedfor use by those interested in methods for determin

20、ing the potential early stiffening of hydraulic cement.5.2 When used for estimating the relative tendency of a cement to manifest early stiffening, a judgment may be made bycomparing the behavior in the penetration series (see 10.4.1 and 10.4.2) and the remix procedure (see 10.4.3) to differentiate

21、arelatively less serious and less persistent tendency to early stiffening (false set) from one that is more persistent and, consequently,more serious (flash set).5.3 Severe false setting in a cement may cause difficulty from a placing and handling standpoint, but it is not likely to causedifficultie

22、s where concrete is mixed for a longer time than usual, as usually occurs in transit mixing, or where it is remixed priorto placing or transporting, in concrete pumping operations. It is most likely noticed where concrete is mixed for a short period oftime in stationary mixers and transported to the

23、 forms in non-agitating equipment, as on some paving jobs, and when concrete ismade in an on-site batch plant.5.4 Cements with severe false setting usually require slightly more mixing water to produce the same consistency, which mayresult in slightly lower strengths and increased drying shrinkage.5

24、.5 Early stiffening resulting from false set is not likely to cause a cement to fail the applicable time of setting requirement.5.6 Early stiffening resulting from flash set, depending on severity, can cause a cement to fail the applicable time of settingrequirement.6.

Procedure10.1 BatchMix at one time 600 g of cement, 300 g of graded standard sand, 300 g of 20-30 standard sand, and an amounto

32、f water that produces a mortar with an initial penetration of 46 6 3 mm.10.2 Mixing of MortarMix in the mechanical mixer as follows:10.2.1 Place the sand and cement in the dry bowl, and mix the dry materials for a few seconds with the spoon.10.2.2 Place the bowl in the mixer, set the paddle in place

33、, and mix the dry materials for 10 s at a slow speed (140 6 5 r/min).10.2.3 With the mixer operating at a slow speed (140 6 5 r/min), add the entire quantity of mixing water within 5 s. Stop themixer, quickly change to a medium speed (285 6 10 r/min), and continue the mixing for 1 min, timing from t

34、he first addition ofwater.10.2.4 Stop the mixer, scrape the sides of the mixing bowl with the rubber scraper, and quickly place the thermometer in themortar. Allow it to stand undisturbed for the remainder of a 45-s interval from the time of stopping the mixer.10.2.5 Read the temperature, remove the

35、 thermometer, start the mixer, and mix for 15 s at a medium speed (285 6 10 r/min).If the mortar temperature is not in the range from 23 6 2.0 C, discard the batch and adjust the temperature of the water or sand,or both, to give the required temperature.10.3 Filling Container:10.3.1 Immediately afte

36、r completion of the mixing, remove the bowl from the mixer and with a spoon, uniformly distribute aportion of the mortar into the container until the container is heaping full. Quickly and gently place each spoonful of mortar inthe container. When removing the mortar from the bowl, do not remove the

37、 material pushed up on the side of the bowl by thepaddle. After the container has been filled, reassemble the mixer, cover the bowl with a lid, and retain the remaining mortar fora remix test to be performed later. To compact the mortar in the container, lift the container approximately 80 mm (3 in.

38、) from thetable with both hands and rap it twice against the surface of the table.10.3.2 With the leading edge slightly raised, strike off the mortar with one stroke of the trowel along the length of the container.Then remove the excess mortar by means of a sawing motion with the straightedge of the

39、 trowel along the length of the containerin a direction opposite to that used in striking off. Then, smooth the surface of the mortar with a single stroke of the trowel.10.4 Penetration Tests:10.4.1 After filling the container, immediately place the 10-mm plunger of the modified Vicat apparatus in c

40、ontact with thesurface of the mortar at the midpoint of the container on the longitudinal center line. Set the movable indicator at zero. Releasethe plunger 3 min after the beginning of the wet mixing and record, as the initial penetration, the depth in millimetres to whichthe plunger has settled be

41、low the surface 10 s after being released. If the plunger does not settle to a depth of 46 6 3 mm, discardthe batch and adjust the quantity of water to produce the required consistency.10.4.2 Immediately withdraw and clean the plunger. In a similar manner, determine, after moving the Vicat apparatus

42、 to thedesired location, the penetrations at intervals of 5, 8, and 11 min after the beginning of mixing. Do not move the filled containeruntil these measurements are completed. Make all penetrations along the longitudinal center line of the container. Obtain 5 and8-min penetrations at a distance of

43、 approximately 40 mm (112 in.) from each end of the container, respectively, and determine the11-min penetration at a point approximately midway between the points at which the initial and 5-min penetrations weredetermined.10.4.3 At the completion of the measurement of the 11-min penetration, immedi

44、ately return the mortar in the container to thebowl. Start the mixer, raise the bowl into mixing position, and remix the contents of the bowl at medium speed (285 6 10 r/min)for 1 min. Fill a clean container as outlined in 10.3.1 and 10.3.2, and determine the penetration 45 s after completion of mix
