7、nology C125 and Terminology C219.4.Summary of Test Method4.1 Grout is placed in a graduated cylinder.Changes in totalvolume and accumulation of bleed water,if any,on the surfaceof the grout are observed over a period of time.5.Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful for determining the ex
8、pansionand bleeding characteristics of freshly mixed fluid hydrauliccement grout commonly used in PA concrete and cementitiouspost-tensioning tendon grouts.6.Interferences6.1 Failure to obtain a uniformly smooth mixture,free oflumps,will cause excessive bleeding and may result in reducedexpansion.6.
9、2 The capability of most admixtures to produce expansionand the tendency to bleed is related to the temperature of thegrout during the period of test.7.Apparatus7.1 Glass Graduate,1000 mL and meeting the requirementsof Specification E1272 Style I or III TC.7.2 Glass Graduate,25 mLand meeting the req
