Description / Abstract:
This test method covers the determination of the time of setting
of concrete, with slump greater than zero, by means of penetration
resistance measurements on mortar sieved from the concrete
mixture.
This test method is suitable for use only when tests of the
mortar fraction will provide the information required.
This test method may also be applied to prepared mortars and
grouts.
This test method is applicable under controlled laboratory
conditions, as well as under field conditions.
The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to
be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each
system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall
be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two
systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the
user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
