ASTM C1064/C1064M − 12 Standard Test Method for Temperature of Freshly Mixed Hydraulic-Cement Concrete

ASTM C1064/C1064M − 12 Standard Test Method for Temperature of Freshly Mixed Hydraulic-Cement Concrete

Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of temperature of freshly mixed hydraulic-cement concrete.

1.2 The values stated in either SI 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 non-conformance with the standard.

1.3 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes that provide explanatory information.

These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of this standard.

Significance and Use
3.1 This test method provides a means for measuring the temperature of freshly mixed concrete. The measured tempera-ture represents the temperature at the time of testing and may not be an indication of the temperature of the freshly mixed concrete at a later time.

It may be used to verify conformance to a specified requirement for temperature of concrete.

3.2 Concrete containing aggregate of a nominal maximum size greater than 75 mm [3 in.] may require up to 20 min for the transfer of heat from aggregate to mortar. (See ACI Committee 207.1R Report.4)
