Introduction to Concrete

Cement Initial and Final Set

Description

Cement setting time describes how cement paste changes from a plastic state to a solid state. This change matters in construction because it sets the window for placing, compacting, and finishing concrete. The first stage is called the initial set. At that point, the paste becomes unworkable.

水泥的凝结时间是指水泥净浆从塑性状态转变为刚性状态所需的时间,该时间通过维卡仪测定。

首先,将水加入水泥中,制备成所需稠度的浆体,然后将其填入模具中。

然后以规则的时间间隔将直径为0.04英寸的针插入水泥浆体中,直至其穿透至模具底部以下规定的距离。从加水开始到该时刻所经历的时间即为水泥的初凝时间。 

随后,在特定时间间隔内,将带有环形附件的针状物插入水泥净浆中,直至该附件无法在浆体表面留下痕迹。从加水开始至该时刻所经历的时间即为水泥的终凝时间。

最后,根据美国标准,波特兰水泥的初凝时间不应少于60分钟,终凝时间不得超过10小时。
