Standard Test Method for Amount of Water Required for Normal Consistency of Hydraulic Cement Paste
Also Known As:
The ASTM C187-16 standard is a test method used to determine the amount of water required to prepare hydraulic cement pastes with normal consistency. This is important for certain standard tests that require the cement to be at a specific consistency level.
The standard covers the procedure for determining the normal consistency of hydraulic cement. It outlines the steps and equipment needed to conduct the test accurately.
It is worth noting that fresh hydraulic cementitious mixtures can cause chemical burns to the skin and tissue upon prolonged exposure. Therefore, the standard includes a warning to use protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection when handling the cement. It also emphasizes the importance of washing any contact area with water and avoiding exposure to clothing saturated with the unhardened material.
