Introduction

Analysis of the core content of the standard

  • Initial fluidity: reflects the self-leveling ability of the material. The diameter measurement must be completed within 240±10s.
  • Viscosity test: uses ISO 6/8mm flow cup, suitable for materials with fiber content ≤1mm.

Mechanical properties test

The standard stipulates a three-stage strength development test:

  1. Compressive strength:

    Implementation Recommendations

    Laboratory Operation Specifications

    Critical Control Points:

    • Environmental control: 23±2℃/RH≥50%
    • Mixing procedure: Strictly follow the 3000g standard batch process in Section 7.2
    • Time management: Time window control of each test stage is ±30s
