Signicance and Use

3.1The purpose of this test is to determine if the hydraulic cement under test meets the heat of hydration requirement
of the applicable hydraulic cement specication.
3.2This test may also be used for research purposes when it is desired to determine the heat of hydration of hydraulic
cement at any age.
NOTE 1:When tests are performed for research purposes, useful additional information can be obtained by determining
neness, chemical and compound compositions.
3.3Determination of the heat of hydration of hydraulic cements provides information that is helpful for calculating
temperature rise in mass concrete.
1. Scope
1.1This test method covers the determination of the heat of hydration of a hydraulic cement by measuring the heat of
solution of the dry cement and the heat of solution of a separate portion of the cement that has been partially
hydrated for 7 and for 28 days, the dierence between these values being the heat of hydration for the respective
hydrating period.
1.2The results of this test method may be inaccurate if some of the components of the hydraulic cement are insoluble
in the nitric acid/hydrouoric acid solution.
1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this
standard.
1.4Values in SI units shall be obtained by measurement in SI units or by appropriate conversion, using the Rules for
Conversion and Rounding given in Standard IEEE/ASTM SI 10, or measurements made in other units.
1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, 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 or regulatory limitations prior to use. WarningFresh hydraulic cementitious mixtures are caustic and
may cause chemical burns to skin and tissue upon prolonged exposure.2
