Full Description 1.1 This test method covers the determination of the potential expansion of cement-aggregate combinations by measuring the linear expansion developed by the combinations in mortar bars subjected to variations of temperature and water saturation during storage under prescribed conditions of test. 1.2 This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations, and equipment. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.3 The values stated in non-SI units are to be regarded as standard.
