ASTM C1064/C1064M-99

Standard Test Method for Temperature of Freshly Mixed Portland Cement Concrete

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of temperature of freshly mixed portland cement concrete.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.
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.
