Description / Abstract:
This test method covers laboratory determination of the air
content of hardened portland cement concrete with the use of the
high-pressure air meter. This determination is made from the
observation of change in linear piston movement with a specimen in
the test chamber from that of the linear piston movement with no
specimen in the test chamber. This change is due to a replacement
of specific volume of compressible air by a specific volume of
incompressible water.
This procedure may involve hazardous materials, operations,
and equipment. This procedure does not purport to address all of
the safety concerns associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this procedure to consult and
establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the
applicability of regulatory limitation prior to use.
