ASTM C1897
Full Name
ASTM C1897 – Standard Test Methods for Measuring the Reactivity of Supplementary Cementitious Materials by Isothermal Calorimetry and Bound Water Measurements
Scope
These two alternative test methods are used to assess the chemical reactivity of a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) as determined by measurements of cumulative heat release or bound water content of hydrated pastes composed of the SCM, calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, potassium sulfate, and potassium hydroxide cured at 40 °C for 3 and 7 days.
