GB/T 17671-1999 in English

《GB/T 17671-1999水泥胶砂强度检验方法（ISO法）》由TC184（全国水泥标准化技术委员会）归口，主管部门为中国建筑材料联合会。
本标准规定了水泥胶砂强度检验基准方法的仪器、材料、胶砂组成、试验条件、操作步骤和结果计算等。其抗压强度测定结果与ISO 679结果等同。同时也列入可代用的标准砂和振实台，当代用后结果有异议时以基准方法为准。本标准适用于硅酸盐水泥、普通硅酸盐水泥、矿渣硅酸盐水泥、粉煤灰硅酸盐水泥、复合硅酸盐水泥、石灰石硅酸盐水泥的抗折与抗压强度的检验。其他水泥采用本标准时必须研究本标准规定的适用性。

1 Scope
This standard specifies instruments, materials, mortar constituents, test conditions, operation procedures and result calculation for the reference test method of cement mortar strength. The measured results of compressive strength are identical to the results of ISO 679.Alternative standard sand and compaction table is listed. Any disagreement in the results after alternation is subject to the reference method.
This standard is applicable to the portland cement, ordinary portland cement, slag portland cement, portland fly-ash cement, compound portland cement, limestone portland cement, flexural strength and compressive strength inspection. When other cement adopts this standard, the applicability of this standard must be studied.

3 Principal Features of Method
The method comprises the determination of the compressive, and optionally the flexural, strength of prismatic test specimens 40 mm*40 mm*160 mm in size.
These specimens are cast from a batch of plastic mortar containing one part by mass of cement and three parts by mass of standard sand with a water/cement ratio of 0.5. Standard sands from various sources and countries may be used provided that they have been shown to give cement strength results which do not differ significantly from those obtained using the ISO Reference sand (see Chapter 11).
The mortar is prepared by mechanical mixing and is compacted in a mould using standard jolting apparatus, or the jolting apparatus with 0.75mm amplitude and 2800~3000 t/m frequency can be used (see Chapter 11).
The specimens in the mould are stored in a moist atmosphere for 24 h and then the demoulded specimens are stored under water until strength testing.
At the required age, the specimens are taken from their wet storage, broken in flexure into two halves and each half tested for strength in compression.
