Precision and Bias12.1 PrecisionThe coefficient of variation of strength values for this test method, using 6 cubes per batch, is very similar tothat for Test Method C109/C109M compression cubes tested at later ages. Refer to Test Method C109/C1

36、09M for suitable values.No data currently exist for the precision of the estimate for optimum sulfate content.12.2 BiasSince there is no accepted reference material suitable for determining optimum SO3, bias has not been determined.13.

DISCUSSION OF THE TERM “OPTIMUM”X1.1 The scope statement notes that this test method determines the opti

38、mum SO3 content in cements in mortar at a particulartemperature and age. Usually, but not always, the SO3 content that produces the highest 24-h strength at 23 C 23C also producesapproximately the lowest expansion in water and the lowest contraction in air at that temperature.X1.2 The “optimum” dete

39、rmined by this test is approximate. The “optimum” SO3 content will vary with changes in mortarproportions; between cement paste, mortars and concrete; will vary with the source of SO3; with the age of test; with the use ofchemical admixtures; and with the use of supplementary cementitious materials.

40、 Thus, the term “optimum SO3” refers to anapproximate value.X1.3 The age for determining the optimum is typically chosen by the manufacturer based on experience with local concretematerials.X1.4 For convenience, the method uses the compressive strength of specimens at three different SO3 contents fo

41、r the cement. Ifthe strength results are plotted against SO3 content, the three points are assumed to give a curve in the shape of a parabola, andthe calculation used assumes this shape. If more points are used with smaller SO3 content increments, the shape of the curve isseen to be that of a “sawto

42、oth,” with a decreasing slope up to the apex at maximum strength, followed by a precipitous fall instrength immediately after the apex. The apex represents the actual optimum SO3 content, and is typically higher than thatcalculated using three points. Therefore, this affords a small “cushion” when t

43、argeting the calculated optimum SO3 (determinedusing three points) during manufacture to allow for variation in the process.SUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee C01 has identified the location of selected changes to this test method since the last issue,C563 07, which may impact the use of this test method.
