ASTM C1073 − 12 Standard Test Method for Hydraulic Activity of Slag Cement by Reaction with Alkali

ASTM C1073 − 12 Standard Test Method for Hydraulic Activity of Slag Cement by Reaction with Alkali

. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the rapid determination of hydraulic activity of slag cement.

This test method measures the accelerated strength development of the slag cement by using sodium hydroxide solution as mixing water and curing at elevated temperature.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.

No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, 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.

A specific warning statement is given in Section 6.
1.4 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory information.

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