ASTM C185-20 PDF Download

ASTM C185-20 is a standard test method that is used to determine the air content of hydraulic cement mortar. The purpose of this test method is to verify whether the hydraulic cement being tested meets the air-entraining or non-air-entraining requirements specified in the applicable hydraulic cement specification. It is important to note that the air content of concrete is influenced by various factors apart from the potential of the cement for air entrainment.

This test method covers the specific conditions and procedures for determining the air content of hydraulic cement mortar. It is essential to follow these conditions and procedures accurately to obtain accurate results. The values obtained from this test method are typically measured in SI units, but they can also be converted from measurements made in other units using the conversion and rounding rules outlined in IEEE/ASTM SI 10.

It is important to exercise caution when handling fresh hydraulic cementitious mixtures, as they can be caustic and may cause chemical burns to the skin and tissue with prolonged exposure. Safety measures should be taken to protect individuals from any potential harm during the testing process.
