Capping Equipment4.1 Capping PlatesNeat cement caps and high-strengthgypsum-paste caps shall be formed against a glass plate at least14 in. (6 mm) thick, a machined meta

9、l plate at least 0.45 in. (11mm) thick, or a polished plate of granite or diabase at least 3in. (76 mm) thick. Sulfur mortar caps shall be formed againstsimilar metal or stone plates except that the recessed areawhich receives molten sulfur shall not be deeper than12 in.(12 mm). In all cases, plates

10、 shall be at least 1 in. (25 mm)greater in diameter than the test specimen and the workingsurfaces shall not depart from a plane by more than 0.002 in.(0.05 mm) in 6 in. (152 mm). The surface roughness of newlyfinished metal plates shall not exceed that set forth in Table 4of American National Stand

11、ard B46.1, or 125 in. (3.2 m) forany type of surface and direction of lay. The surface, whennew, shall be free of gouges, grooves, or indentations beyondthose caused by the finishing operation. Metal plates that havebeen in use shall be free of gouges, grooves, and indentationsgreater than 0.010 in.

(2 mm).4.3 Melting Pots for Sulfur MortarsPots used for meltingsulfur mortars shall be equipped with automatic temperatureco

18、ntrols and shall be made of metal or lined with a material thatis nonreactive with molten sulfur.4.3.1 WarningMelting pots equipped with peripheralheating will ensure against accidents during reheating ofcooled sulfur mixture that have a crusted-over surface. Whenusing melting pots not so equipped,

19、a build-up of pressureunder the hardened surface crust on subsequent reheating maybe avoided by use of a metal rod that contacts the bottom of thepot and projects above the surface of the fluid sulfur mix as itcools. The rod should be of sufficient size to conduct enoughheat to the top on reheating

20、to melt a ring around the rod firstand thus avoid the development of pressure.Alarge metal ladlecan be substituted for the rod.4.3.1.1 Use sulfur melting pots in a hood to exhaust thefumes to outdoors. Heating over an open flame is dangerousbecause the flash point of sulfur is approximately 440 F (2

21、27C) and the mixture can ignite due to overheating. Should themixture start to burn, covering will snuff out the flame. The potshould be recharged with fresh material after the flame hasbeen extinguished.5. Capping Materials5.1 The strength of the capping material and the thickness ofthe caps shall

22、conform to the requirements of Table 1.5.1.1 If sulfur mortar, high strength gypsum paste and othermaterials except neat cement paste are to be used to testconcrete with a strength greater than 7000 psi (50 MPa) andtheir compressive strength is less than the cylinder compressivestrength, the manufac

23、turer or the user of the material mustprovide documentation:5.1.1.1 That the average strength of 15 cylinders cappedwith the material is not less than 98 percent of the averagestrength of 15 companion cylinders capped with neat cementpaste or 15 cylinders ground plane to within 0.002 in. (0.05mm).5.

24、1.1.2 That the standard deviation of the strengths of thecapped cylinders is not greater than 1.57 times that of thestandard deviation of the reference cylinders.5.1.1.3 That the cap thickness requirements were met in thequalification tests, and5.1.1.4 Of the hardening time of the caps used in thequ

25、alification tests.5.1.2 Additionally, the qualification test report must includethe compressive strength of 2 in. cubes of the material qualifiedand of neat cement paste cubes, if used. Capping materialsconforming to these requirements is permitted to be used forcylinders with strengths up to 20 per

26、cent greater than theconcrete tested in these qualification tests. The manufacturermust requalify lots of material manufactured on an annual basisor whenever there is a change in the formulation or the rawmaterials. The user of the material must retain a copy of thequalification results, and the dat

27、es of manufacture of materialqualified and of the material currently being used. See Table 2.5.1.3 The compressive strength of capping materials shallbe determined by testing 2 in. cubes following the proceduredescribed in Test Method C109/C109M. Except for sulfurmortars, molding procedures shall be

28、 as in Test MethodC109/C109M unless other procedures are required to eliminatelarge entrapped air voids. See Test Methods C472 for alterna-tive compaction procedures. Cure cubes in the same environ-ment for the same length of time as the material used to capspecimens.5.1.4 The strength of the cappin

29、g material shall be deter-mined on receipt of a new lot and at intervals not exceedingthree months. If a given lot of the capping material fails toconform to the strength requirements, it shall not be used, andstrength tests of the replacement material shall be made weeklyuntil four consecutive dete

30、rminations conform to specificationrequirements.5.2 Neat Hydraulic Cement Paste:5.2.1 Make qualification tests of the neat hydraulic cementpaste prior to use for capping to establish the effects ofwater-cement ratio and age on compressive strength of 2 in. (50mm) cubes.NOTE 2The cements used general

31、ly conform to Specification C150Types I, II or III; however, Specification C595 blended cements, calciumaluminate or other hydraulic cements producing acceptable strength maybe used.5.2.2 Mix the neat cement paste to the desired consistency ata water-cement ratio equal to or less than that required

32、toproduce the required strength, generally 2 to 4 h before thepaste is to be used (Note 3). Remix as necessary to maintainacceptable consistency (Note 4). Some retempering of thepaste is acceptable if the required water-cement ratio is notexceeded. Optimum consistency is generally produced atwater-c

33、ement ratios of 0.32 to 0.36 by mass for Type I andType II cements and 0.35 to 0.39 by mass for Type III cements.NOTE 3Freshly mixed pastes tend to bleed, shrink, and make unac-ceptable caps. The 2 to 4 h period is generally appropriate for portlandcements.NOTE 4The required consistency of the paste

34、 is determined by theappearance of the cap when it is stripped. Fluid paste results in streaks inthe cap. Stiff paste results in thick caps.5.3 High-Strength Gypsum Cement Paste:5.3.1 No fillers or extenders may be added to neat high-strength gypsum cement paste subsequent to the manufactureTABLE 1

(Note 6)NOTE 5Low-strength molding plaster, plaster of paris, or mixtures ofplaster of paris and portland cement are unsuitable for capping.NOTE 6The water-gypsum cement

38、ratio should be between 0.26 and0.30. Use of low water-cement ratios and vigorous mixing will usuallypermit development of 5000 psi (35 MPa) at ages of 1 or 2 h. Higherwater-gypsum cement ratios extend working time, but reduce strength.5.3.2 Mix the neat gypsum cement paste at the desiredwater-cemen

39、t ratio and use it promptly since it sets rapidly.5.4 Sulfur Mortar:5.4.1 Proprietary or laboratory prepared sulfur mortars arepermitted if allowed to harden a minimum of 2 h before testingconcrete with strength less than 5000 psi (35 MPa). Forconcrete strengths of 5000 psi or greater, sulfur mortar

40、 capsmust be allowed to harden at least 16 h before testing, unlessa shorter time has been shown to be suitable as specified in5.1.1.5.4.2 Determination of Compressive StrengthPrepare testspecimens using a cube mold and base plate conforming to therequirements of Test Method C109/C109M and a metal c

Using a ladle, or other suitable pouringdevice, quickly fill each of the three compartments until themolten mat

Allowsufficient time for maximum shrinkage, due to cooling, andsolidification to occur (approximately 15 min) and refill eachhole with molten material (Note 8). After solidification iscomplete, remove the cubes from the mold without breakingoff the knob for

After storage at room temperatureto the desired age, but not less than 2 h, test cubes incompression following

48、the procedure described in Test MethodC109/C109M, and calculate the compressive strength.NOTE 7If desired, a plane phenol formaldehyde (bakelite) plate of18-in. (3-mm) thickness, provided with three appropriately spaced fillingholes, may be inserted between the cover plate and the mold to slow thera

49、te of cooling of test specimens.NOTE 8The second filling helps to prevent the formation of a largevoid or shrinkage pipe in the body of a cube. However, such defects mayoccur no matter how much care is exercised, and it therefore is advisableto inspect the interior of tested sulfur mortar cubes for homogeneitywhenever the strength values obtained are significantly lower thananticipated.6.
