Scope
This test method covers
the determination of temperature of freshly mixed Portland cement concrete.
The values stated in
inch-pound or SI unit are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the
text, SI unit are show in brackets. The values stated in each system are not
exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the
other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with
the specification.
This 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 of regulatory
limitations prior to use.

Significance and Use
This test method
provides a means for measuring the temperature of freshly mixed concrete. It
may be used to verify conformance to a specified requirement for temperature of
concrete.
Concrete containing
aggregate of a nominal maximum size greater than 3 in. [75 mm] may require up
to 20 min for the transfer of heat from aggregate to mortar. (See ACI Committee
207. IR Report)
