METHOD FOR TESTING SETTING TIME OF CEMENT-BASED MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for testing the setting time of cement-based materials, comprising: test the meniscus depression of cement-based materials without bleeding, take the time when the meniscus depression arrives at threshold A as the initial setting time and/or the time when the meniscus depression arrives at threshold B as the final setting time, wherein threshold A = 8 - 10kPa and threshold B = 54 - 56kPa; or thresholds A and B are determined by the following method: prepare the cement-based materials for the determination of the thresholds through the same mix proportions and raw materials, make the mixture compact by vibration, place some in a test mold and test the meniscus depression of cement-based materials without bleeding in the test mold after compact vibration, under the same conditions, test the initial setting time and final setting time of cement-based materials for determination of the thresholds at the same time by penetration resistance method, wherein the meniscus depressions corresponding to the initial setting time and the final setting time of cement-based materials for the determination of the thresholds are thresholds A and B respectively.
