Terminology
3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 For definitions of terms used in this test method, refer to Terminologies C125 and C219.

Significance and Use
5.1 This test method determines the setting time of grout mixed to the fluid consistency required for its use in PA concrete.

5.2 The time of setting is also useful in determining the acceptability of components of grout that must be mixed to the fluid consistency required for production of PA concrete.
