Methods of testing cement - Part 3: Determination of setting times and soundness

This document specifies the methods for determining standard consistence, setting times and soundness of cements.
The method applies to common cements and to other cements and materials, the standards for which call up this method. It may not apply to other cement types that have, for example, a very short initial setting time. The method is used for assessing whether the setting time and soundness of a cement is in conformity with its specification.
This document describes the reference methods and allows the use of alternative procedures and equipment, as indicated in notes, provided that they have been calibrated against the reference methods. In the event of a dispute, only the reference equipment and procedures are used.

Prüfverfahren für Zement - Teil 3: Bestimmung der Erstarrungszeiten und der Raumbeständigkeit

Dieses Dokument legt die Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Normsteife, der Erstarrungszeiten und der Raumbeständigkeit von Zement fest.
Die Verfahren gelten für Normalzemente; ferner gelten sie für andere Zemente und Baustoffe, wenn in den entsprechenden Normen auf die Verfahren verwiesen wird. Unter Umständen gelten die Verfahren nicht für Zementarten, bei denen beispielsweise der Erstarrungsbeginn sehr rasch einsetzt. Die Verfahren werden angewendet, um beurteilen zu können, ob Zemente die gestellten Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Erstarrungszeiten und der Raumbeständigkeit erfüllen.
Dieses Dokument beschreibt die Referenzverfahren; andere Verfahren und Geräte – sofern in Anmerkungen darauf hingewiesen ist – dürfen angewendet werden, wenn sie nachweislich zu den gleichen Prüfergebnissen führen wie die vorgeschriebenen Verfahren und Geräte. Im Streitfall sind die Referenzgeräte und das Referenzverfahren maßgebend.

Méthodes d'essais des ciments - Partie 3: Détermination du temps de prise et de la stabilité

Le présent document spécifie les méthodes permettant de déterminer la consistance normalisée, les temps de prise
et la stabilité des ciments.
La méthode s’applique aux ciments courants et à d’autres ciments et matériaux, pour lesquels les normes prescrivent
ces méthodes. Elle ne doit pas s’appliquer aux autres types de ciments, qui ont, par exemple, un temps de début de
prise très court. La méthode est utilisée pour juger si le temps de prise et la stabilité d’un ciment sont conformes à
sa spécification.
Le présent document décrit les méthodes de référence et, comme indiqué dans les notes, autorise l'utilisation de
variantes pour les modes opératoires et l’équipement, à condition que ces variantes aient été étalonnées par rapport
aux méthodes de référence. En cas de litige, on doit utiliser seulement l’équipement et les modes opératoires
de référence.
