1、Designation: C494/C494M 11Standard Specification forChemical Admixtures for Concrete1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C494/C494M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numbe

2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers materials for use as chemicaladm

3、ixtures to be added to hydraulic-cement concrete mixturesin the field for the purpose or purposes indicated for the eighttypes as follows:1.1.1 Type AWater-reducing admixtures,1.1.2 Type BRetarding admixtures,1.1.3 Type CAccelerating admixtures,1.1.4 Type DWater-reducing and retarding admixtures,1.1

4、.5 Type EWater-reducing and accelerating admixtures,1.1.6 Type FWater-reducing, high range admixtures,1.1.7 Type GWater-reducing, high range, and retardingadmixtures, and1.1.8 Type SSpecific performance admixtures.1.2 This specification stipulates tests of an admixture withsuitable concreting materi

5、als as described in 11.1-11.3 or withcement, pozzolan, aggregates, and an air-entraining admixtureproposed for specific work (11.4). Unless specified otherwiseby the purchaser, the tests shall be made using concretingmaterials as described in 11.1-11.3.NOTE 1It is recommended that, whenever practica

6、ble, tests be madeusing the cement, pozzolan, aggregates, air-entraining admixture, and themixture proportions, batching sequence, and other physical conditionsproposed for the specific work (11.4) because the specific effects producedby chemical admixtures may vary with the properties and proportio

7、ns ofthe other ingredients of the concrete. For instance, Types F and Gadmixtures may exhibit much higher water reduction in concrete mixtureshaving higher cement factors than that listed in 12.1.1.Mixtures having a high range water reduction generally display a higherrate of slump loss. When high-r

8、ange admixtures are used to impartincreased workability (6 to 8-in. slump 150 to 200mm), the effect maybe of limited duration, reverting to the original slump in 30 to 60 mindepending on factors normally affecting rate of slump loss. The use ofchemical admixtures to produce high-slump (flowing) conc

9、rete is coveredby Specification C1017/C1017M.NOTE 2The purchaser should ensure that the admixture supplied foruse in the work is equivalent in composition to the admixture subjected totest under this specification (see Section 6, Uniformity and Equivalence).NOTE 3Admixtures that contain relatively l

10、arge amounts of chloridemay accelerate corrosion of prestressing steel. Compliance with therequirements of this specification does not constitute assurance of accept-ability of the admixture for use in prestressed concrete.1.3 This specification provides for three levels of testing.1.3.1 Level 1Duri

11、ng the initial approval stage, proof ofcompliance with the performance requirements defined inTable 1 demonstrates that the admixture meets the require-ments of this specification.Admixtures (except for Types B, C,E, and S) shall qualify for provisional compliance when thephysical requirements and a

12、ny of the alternative compressivestrength requirements in Table 1 are met. If subsequent testresults at 6 months or one year fail to meet the standardrequirement of 100 % of reference strength, the compliance ofthe admixture to this standard is withdrawn and all users of theadmixture shall be notifi

13、ed immediately. Uniformity andequivalence tests of Section 6 shall be carried out to provideresults against which later comparisons can be made (See Note4).NOTE 4Allowing for provisional compliance while retaining longerterm compressive strength requirements promotes more rapid qualificationof new m

14、aterials, but also provides assurance that new admixturetechnologies will not exhibit unexpected longer term performance. Thealternative compressive strength requirements in Table 1 are based onstatistical analysis of 103 Specification C494/C494M evaluation tests. Thealternative requirements corresp

15、ond to a 99 % probability of passingsubsequent test age requirements.21.3.2 Level 2Limited retesting is described in 5.2, 5.2.1and 5.2.2. Proof of compliance with the requirements of Table1 demonstrates continued conformity of the admixture with therequirements of the specification.1.3.3 Level 3For

16、acceptance of a lot or for measuringuniformity within or between lots, when specified by thepurchaser, the uniformity and equivalence tests of Section 6shall be used.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system

17、 may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcrete and Concrete Aggregates and is the direct

41、nfrared analysis spectrum, residue byoven drying, and specific gravity of the admixture supplied foruse in the work are within the limits in Section 6 whencompared with the initial sample tested under this specifica-tion.6. Uniformity and Equivalence6.1 When specified by the purchaser, the uniformit

42、y of a lot,or the equivalence of different lots from the same source shallbe established by the use of the following requirements:6.1.1 Infrared AnalysisThe absorption spectra of the ini-tial sample and the test sample, obtained as specified in 18.1,shall be essentially similar.6.1.2 Residue by Oven

43、 Drying (Liquid Admixtures)Whendried as specified in 18.2, the oven-dried residues of the initialsample and of subsequent samples shall be within 6 12 % ofthe mid-point of the manufacturers stated range, but notexceeding the manufacturers stated limits (See Note 6).NOTE 6As an example, for an admixt

44、ure produced with a residuerange from 27 to 35 %, the manufacturer would provide maximumacceptable limits of 27.3 to 34.7 %, representing 6 12 % of the mid-pointof the limits, where the mid-point is 31.0 %.6.1.3 Residue by Oven Drying (Nonliquid Admixtures)When dried as specified in 18.3, the oven-d

45、ried residues of theinitial sample and of the subsequent samples shall be within arange of variation not greater than 6 4 percentage points.6.1.4 Specific Gravity (Liquid Admixtures)When tested asspecified in 18.4, the specific gravity of subsequent testsamples shall not differ from the specific gra

46、vity of the initialsample by more than 10 % of the difference between thespecific gravity of the initial sample and that of reagent waterat the same temperature. If 10 % of the difference between thespecific gravity of the initial sample and water is less than 0.01,use the value 0.01 as the maximum

47、allowable difference.Reagent water conforming to Specification D1193, Types III orIV, and prepared by distillation ion exchange, reverse osmosis,electrodialysis, or a combination of these procedures is ad-equate.6.2 When the nature of the admixture or the analyticalcapability of the purchaser make s

48、ome or all of these proce-dures unsuitable, other requirements for uniformity andequivalence from lot to lot or within a lot shall be establishedby agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer.7.
