3、epartment of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers two procedures for an approxi-mate determination of the presence of injurious organic impu-rities in fine aggregates that are to be used in hydraulic cementmortar or concrete. One procedure uses a standard colorsolution and the other uses a gl

The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standar

Significance and Use3.1 This test method is used in making a pr

7、eliminarydetermination of the acceptability of fine aggregates withrespect to the requirements of Specification C 33 that relate toorganic impurities.3.2 The principal value of this test method is to furnish awarning that injurious amounts of organic impurities may bepresent. When a sample subjected

8、 to this test produces a colordarker than the standard color it is advisable to perform the testfor the effect of organic impurities on the strength of mortar inaccordance with Test Method C 87.4. Apparatus4.1 Glass BottlesColorless glass graduated bottles, ap-proximately 240 to 470-mL (8 to 16-oz)

9、nominal capacity,equipped with watertight stoppers or caps, not soluble in thespecified reagents. In no case shall the maximum outsidethickness of the bottles, measured along the line of sight usedfor the color comparison, be greater than 63.5 mm (2.5 in.) orless than 38.1 mm (1.5 in.). The graduati

10、ons on the bottles shallbe in millilitres, or ounces (U.S. fluid), except that unmarkedbottles may be calibrated and scribed with graduations by theuser. In such case, graduation marks are required at only threepoints as follows:4.1.1 Standard Color Solution Level75 mL (212 oz (U.S.fluid),4.1.2 Fine

11、 Aggregate Level130 mL (412 oz (U.S. fluid),and4.1.3 NaOH Solution Level200 mL (7 oz (U.S. fluid).4.2 Glass Color Standard4.2.1 Glass standard colors shall be used as described inTable 1 of Test Method D 1544.NOTE 1A suitable instrument consists of five glass color standardsmounted in a plastic hold

12、er. Only the glass identified as Gardner ColorStandard No. 11 is to be used as the Glass Color Standard in 9.2.5. Reagent and Standard Color Solution5.1 Reagent Sodium Hydroxide Solution (3 %)Dissolve 3parts by mass of reagent grade sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in 97parts of water.5.2 Standard Color Solu

13、tionDissolve reagent grade po-tassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) in concentrated sulfuric acid (spgr 1.84) at the rate of 0.250 g/100 mL of acid. The solutionmust be freshly made for the color comparison using gentleheat if necessary to effect solution.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM C

16、19428-2959, United States.6. Sampling6.1 The sample shall be selected in general accordance withPractice D 75.7. Test Sample7.1 The test sample shall have a mass of about approxi-mately 450 g (1 lb) and be taken from the larger sample inaccordance with Practice C 702.8. Procedure8.1 Fill a glass bot

17、tle to the approximately 130-mL (412-fluid oz) level with the sample of the fine aggregate (seeTerminology C 125) to be tested.8.2 Add the sodium hydroxide solution until the volume ofthe fine aggregate and liquid, indicated after shaking, isapproximately 200 mL (7 fluid oz).8.3 Stopper the bottle,

18、shake vigorously, and then allow tostand for 24 h.9. Determination of Color Value9.1 Standard Color Solution ProcedureAt the end of the24-h standing period, fill a glass bottle to the approximately75-mL (212-fluid oz) level with the fresh standard colorsolution, prepared not longer than 2 h previous

19、ly, as prescribedin 5.2. Hold the bottle with the test sample and the bottle withthe standard color solution side-by-side, and compare the colorof light transmitted through the supernatant liquid above thesample with the color of light transmitted through the standardcolor solution. Record whether t

20、he color of the supernatantliquid is lighter, darker, or equal to the color of the standardcolor solution.9.2 Glass Color Standard ProcedureTo define more pre-cisely the color of the supernatant liquid of the test sample, fiveglass standard colors shall be used using the following colors:Gardner Col

21、orStandard No.Organic Plate No.518211 3 (standard)14 416 5The comparison procedure described in 9.1 shall be used, except that the or-ganic plate number which is nearest the color of the supernatant liquid abovethe test specimen shall be reported. When using this procedure, it is not neces-sary to p

22、repare the standard color solution.10. Interpretation10.1 When a sample subjected to this procedure produces acolor darker than the standard color, or Organic Plate No. 3(Gardner Color Standard No. 11), the fine aggregate under testshall be considered to possibly contain injurious organicimpurities.

23、 It is advisable to perform further tests beforeapproving the fine aggregate for use in concrete.11. Precision and Bias11.1 Since this test produces no numerical values, determi-nation of the precision and bias is not possible.12.
