8、ficance and Use3.1 This test method is used to determine the amount ofexpansion of a mortar bar when it is stored in water.Theamount of mortar-bar expansion may relate to the amount ofsulfate in the cement;expansion may become excessive whenthe cement contains too much sulfate.3.2 Some cement specif
