2、f last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers molds for use in formingcylindrical concrete specimens. The provisions of this specifi-ca

3、tion include the requirements for both reusable and single-use molds.NOTE 1Sizes included are molds having diameters from 50 mm 2in. to 900 mm 36 in.1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact

The inch-pound units are shown in brackets.1.3 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to thetest method described in this spec

5、ification: This standard doesnot purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any,associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of thisstandard to establish appropriate safety and health practicesand determine the applicability of regulatory limitations priorto use.1.4 The text

General Requiremen

8、ts3.1 The following provisions apply to both reusable andsingle-use molds:3.1.1 Molds shall be constructed in the form of right circularcylinders which stand with the cylindrical axis vertical and thetop open to receive the concrete. They shall be made ofmaterials that do not react with concrete con

9、taining portland orother hydraulic cements. They shall be watertight and suffi-ciently strong and tough to permit their use without tearing,crushing, or deforming.NOTE 2Reusable lids may be used on molds to reduce moisture loss.3.1.2 Molds shall have a nominal inside height equal totwice the nominal

10、 inside diameter. The diameter of a mold,consisting of the average of two measurements taken at rightangles to each other at the top of the mold, shall not differ fromthe nominal diameter by more than 1 %. The height, deter-mined by averaging two measurements taken 180 apart, shallnot differ from th

11、e nominal height by more than 2 %. Theplanes of the top rim of the mold and the bottom shall beperpendicular to the axis of the mold within 0.5 degreesapproximately equivalent to 3 mm in 300 mm 18 in. in 12 in.No diameter of a mold shall differ from any other diameter ofthe same mold by more than 2

12、% except that molds that fail tomeet this requirement may be used when the user is able todemonstrate that no diameter of hardened concrete specimenproduced in a similar mold differs from any other diameter onthe same specimen by more than 2 % (see Note 3).NOTE 3Certain single-use molds may require

13、the use of a specialdevice such as a tube of heavy-gage metal around the mold duringmolding to maintain the dimensional tolerances specified in 3.1.2.3.1.3 The bottom inside surface of the mold shall not departfrom a plane by more than 2 mm in 150 mm 116 in. in 6 in.(1 % of the diameter of the mold)

14、.4. Reusable Molds4.1 Reusable molds are those which are designed to be usedmore than a single time. Reusable molds shall be made ofnonabsorptive materials, and constructed as either one piece orseveral pieces (see Note 4).1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcret

15、e and Concrete Aggregates and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC09.61 on Testing for Strength.Current edition approved July 1, 2008. Published August 2008. Originallyapproved in 1961.

18、is an integral partof the sidewall. The mold shall be either coated or made of amaterial that will prevent adherence to the concrete.At the timeof use, molds shall not leak water. An inside fillet, if any, at thebottom of the side wall shall have an indentation around thecircumference no more than 3

19、 mm 18 in. in the verticaldirection or no more than 5 mm 316 in. in the horizontaldirection.4.3 Reusable molds shall be tested for water leakage asdescribed in 6.4, for resistance to damage as described in 6.3.1,and for dimensional stability in accordance with 3.1.2 and 3.1.3after every 50 uses or e

20、very six months, whichever comes first.NOTE 4Satisfactory molds can be made from lengths of steel tubingor pipe that is slit on one side parallel to the axis and fitted with a meansof closing the vertical slit as well as a means of attaching a base plate. Therequired dimensional tolerances must be m

21、aintained after slitting, clamp-ing, and attaching the base plate. Other nonabsorptive materials whichhave been used include iron, brass, steel, and various plastics. Althoughaluminum and magnesium alloys have been used, some of these alloysmay be reactive with cement constituents and are therefore

22、unacceptable.5. Single-Use Molds5.1 Single-use molds are molds designed to be used onceand discarded. They are permitted to be made of sheet metal,plastic, suitably treated paper products, or other materials andshall conform to the requirements of this specification.5.2 Physical RequirementsThe mold

Paper or other potentially absorptive moldsshall additionally be tested for absorptivity and elongationdescr

46、ibed in 6.3.5. Plastic and sheet metal molds need not betested for elongation and absorption, but should be tested forwater leakage. Dimensional requirements for all molds shall beverified.6.3.2 Prepare the mold for test by filling with dry crushedstone coarse aggregate meeting the grading requireme

Fill andcompact the mold by the rodding procedure specified inPractice C 192/C 192M for compression test specimens usingthe tamping rod, number of layers and number of strokes perlayer speci

After rodding the final layer, empty the coarseaggregate, wipe lightly with a dry cloth and examine the moldfor physical damage.6.3.3 After completion of 6.3.2, determine the mass

49、of themold and record to the nearest 0.004 g/mm 0.1 g/in. of moldheight. Place the mold on a firm, flat surface and fill with waterat room temperature to a depth of 90 to 95 % of the moldheight. Then place the mold on the dial stand, cover with theglass or metal plate and record the initial length by dialmicrometer to the nearest 0.025 mm 0.001 in.FIG. 1 Apparatus for Absorption-Elongation Test of Paper MoldsC 470/C 470M 083
