ASTM C1064
Full Name
ASTM C1064 – Standard Test Method for Temperature of Freshly Mixed Hydraulic-Cement Concrete
Scope
ASTM C1064 covers the determination of the temperature of freshly mixed hydraulic-cement concrete.
The key points are:
- Purpose: the standard provides a method to measure the temperature of concrete right after mixing.
- Focus: it is specifically for freshly mixed hydraulic-cement concrete, which is the most common type of concrete used in construction.
- Applicability: the measured temperature is a snapshot at the time of testing and may not reflect the concrete’s temperature at a later time.
- Verification: it can be used to verify that the concrete temperature meets specified requirements, often important for ensuring proper curing and strength development.
- Exclusions: the standard does not cover temperature measurement for other types of concrete mixes or for hardened concrete.
In essence, ASTM C1064 gives a standardized procedure to ensure the temperature of freshly mixed concrete is within acceptable limits, which is crucial for quality control in construction projects.
