Sets out methods for the preparation of samples of ferroalloys collected in accordance with recognized sampling procedures. Preparation of samples for total moisture determination, chemical analysis and special tests is addressed.
Scope
This Standard sets out the reference method for determining the relative water requirement and two methods, one the standard test and the other an accelerated test, for determining the relative strength of a supplementary cementitious material. Both properties are determined by comparing results for a test sample mortar with results for a portland cement mortar. The methods do not provide a basis for comparison between different types of supplementary cementitious materials because of the differing total binder volumes used with each. Also since the performance of these materials is affected by the interaction with the cement, the test results for a given sample are dependent upon the properties of the cement used.
