15、LING AND TESTING STANDARD SANDS5. Apparatus5.1 SievesThe sieves shall be standard 203-mm (8-in.) diameter, full-height, wire-cloth sieves, conforming to the requirementsof Specification E11, and of the following sizes:1.18-mm (No. 16) 425-m (No. 40)850-m (No. 20) 300-m (No. 50)600-m (No. 30) 150-m (

16、No. 100)75-m (No. 200)5.2 Sample SplitterThe sample splitter, receptacles, and feeder pan or hopper shall conform to the general design requirementslisted in Method A, apparatus section of Practice C702, except that the device shall have no fewer than eight chutes having amaximum opening no greater

17、than 13 mm, and a minimum opening at least three times the diameter of the largest particle of sandin a sample to be split.5.3 Scales, Balances, and Reference MassesScales, balances, and reference masses shall conform to the requirements ofSpecification C1005 as appropriate for the size of the sampl

18、e the mass of which is to be determined.6. Sampling6.1 Sample each lot or shipment and test for the grading requirements in Table 1. Determine air entraining characteristics onlywhen contamination of sand is suspected. Sample the shipment in accordance to the procedure listed in 9.1.6.2 ProcedureUsi

19、ng Method AMechanical Splitter procedure described in Practice C702, reduce the entire contents of a bagof standard sand to a testing size of approximately 300 g.7. Sieve Analysis7.1 SievingSieve the sand by hand or mechanically as described in Test Method C136.7.2 ReportingReport the results of the

20、 sieve analysis as total percentage passing each sieve.8. Tests for Air-Entraining Potential of Sand8.1 Small amounts of some surfactants or other contaminants will produce air voids in mortars made with 203020-30 sand,graded sands or both. When contamination is suspected, test the sands in accordan

21、ce with the procedures described in this sectionto determine the effect on air content or strength (see Note 1).NOTE 1It may be desirable to wash these sands routinely to avoid potential problems.Additionally, the washing procedure outlined in 8.1.1 will tendto minimize segregation of sand that may

22、occur when the sand is handled in a dry state.8.1.1 Obtain a sample of at least 2800 g from a full bag of sand. Place the remainder of the sand from the bag in a concretemixer of the drum type. Add sufficient water to cover the sand and mix for 2 min. Decant the water over a 75 m (No. 200) sieveand

23、drain for 2 min. Repeat the washing and decanting procedure four times. Tilt the mixer and drain the sand for 20 min or longer.Determine the mass of damp sand and place it in approximately batch-sized quantities in separate containers. Dry the sand toconstant mass in an oven at 110 C. 110C. Cool and

24、 adjust the quantity of dry sand to the amount required for a test. Prepare twobatches of each of “washed” and “as received” sand for test following the procedures in Test Method C185 for 203020-30 sandor Test Method C109/C109M for graded sand.8.1.2 Tests for air-entraining potential of a standard s

27、SandPrepare two batches of mortar with washed sand and two with “as received” sand in accordance withTest Method C185. Compare the average air content for washed and unwashed sand mortars for compliance with limit in Table1.8.3 Graded SandPrepare two batches of mortar with washed sand and two with “

28、as received” sand in accordance with TestMethod C109/C109M. (See Note 2.) When Test Method C109/C109M mortar cubes are removed from the molds, determine thedensity of a group of at least three cubes from each batch by determining the mass of the cubes both in air and immersed in water.Follow procedu

29、res outlined in Test Method C127 for bulk specific gravity (SSD). Determine the mass of the cubes to at least thenearest gram. Calculate the apparent air content as follows:apparent air content5Dt2Dm!/Dt!3100 (1)where:D m = the measured density (bulk specific gravity (SSD), andDt = the theoretical d

30、ensity of air-free mortar, g/cm3.Note that Dt is calculated as the total mass of the ingredients in a batch of mortar divided by the sum of the absolute volumesof the cement, sand, and water used in the batch. Average the apparent air content of the two batches made with washed sand andcompare that

31、average with the similar average for “as received sand” mortar to determine compliance with the limit in Table 1.NOTE 2Compressive strength of Test Method C109/C109M mortar made with Specification C150 or C595 cement will be reduced approximately4 % for each percent of air in the compacted cube. How

32、ever, as many as three batches of washed and three of unwashed sand may be needed to reliablydetect a difference in strength of 7 % between washed and unwashed sand mortars.9. Rejection9.1 Standard SandReject a bag of standard sand if the contents fail to meet one or more of the requirements of this

33、specification. Sample a shipment of standard sand by selecting every 15th bag by consecutive number beginning with the 5th bagof the shipment. Count bags missing from the sequence as if they were there. Accept a shipment of standard sand if the contentsof the selected bags meet the requirements of t

34、his specification. If any of the selected bags fail to meet one or more of therequirements of this specification, resample the shipment by selecting every 15th bag by consecutive number beginning with the10th bag of the shipment. Accept a shipment of standard sand if the contents of the selected bag

35、s on the resampling meet therequirements of this specification. If any of the selected bags in the resampling fail to meet one or more of the requirements ofthis specification, and the rejected bag is within a 15-bag sequence of a bag rejected in the first selection of bags, reject the entiresequenc

36、e of bags between accepted tests. Reject the entire shipment if half of the number of bags tested fail to meet therequirements of this specification, or if the shipment consists of five bags or less if one randomly selected bag fails thespecification.9.2 Table 2 shows for both sampling and resamplin

37、g in Column 2 the number of bags to be tested based on the total numberof consecutive bags in the shipment. Column 3 shows the identification of the bag to be selected for test based on the consecutivenumber of the bags.NOTE 3For example, if, in a shipment of 30 bags, on first sampling, the 20th bag

38、 fails the specification, and on resampling, the 25th bag fails thespecification, the entire shipment is rejected. If the shipment were 100 bags and on first sampling only the 20th bag fails, and on resampling only the25th bag fails, only bags Nos. 11 to 34 would be rejected.10. Packaging and Packag
