7、ime of groutmixed to the fluid consistency required for its use in PAconcrete.5.2 The time of setting is also useful in determining theacceptability of components of grout that must be mixed to thefluid consistency required for production of PA concrete.6.Apparatus6.1 Vicat Apparatus,in accordance w
8、ith Test Method C191.6.2 Moist Room,maintained in accordance with Specifica-tion C511.7.Test Sample7.1 The test sample shall consist of at least 300 mL of grouttaken from a freshly-mixed batch prepared in accordance withPractice C938 obtained from a mixer at the laboratory orconstruction site.8.Proc
9、edure8.1 Warm the Vicat conical ring and base plate to approxi-mately 100 C.8.2 Apply a thin film of paraffin wax to the base of theconical ring and place the waxed conical ring on the base plate.Place a weight on the conical ring to ensure intimate contactwith the base plate and allow the conical r
10、ing and plate to coolto room temperature.8.3 Fill the conical ring apparatus with grout flush with itstop within 2 min after completion of mixing.Strike off thegrout flush with the top of the conical ring by a single obliquestroke of a sharp-edged trowel held at a slight angle to the topof the ring.
11、Smooth the top,if necessary,with a few lighttouches of the pointed end of the trowel.Take care not tocompress the sample during these cutting and smoothingoperations.The time of completion of molding shall be takenas the start of measurement of time of set.1This test method is under the jurisdiction
