Test method for compatibility of cement and water-reducing
agent
1 Scope
This standard specifies the terms and definitions, method principle, laboratory and
equipment, composition of cement paste, test procedure, data processing, result
presentation, test report of the test method for the compatibility of cement and water-
reducing agent.
This standard is suitable for evaluating the compatibility of cement and water-reducing
agent.

The provisions in following documents become the provisions of this Standard through
reference in this Standard. For the dated references, the subsequent amendments
(excluding corrections) or revisions do not apply to this Standard; however, parties who
reach an agreement based on this Standard are encouraged to study if the latest versions
of these documents are applicable. For undated references, the latest edition of the
referenced document applies.

JC/T 729 Mixer for cement paste
3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this standard.
3.1
Compatibility of cement and water-reducing agent
When using the same water-reducing agent or cement, the fluidity of cement paste,
the degree of change over time loss due to the quality of cement or water-reducing
agent, the degree of change in the amount of water-reducing agent used to obtain the
same fluidity.
3.2
4 Principles of the method
4.1 Marsh method (referred to as Marsh tube method, standard method)
The Marsh tube is a conical funnel with a circular tube below it, which was first used
to measure the fluidity of drilling mud, later proposed by Sherbrooke University in
Canada to measure the fluidity of cement paste with water-reducing agents added, to
evaluate the adaptability of cement and water-reducing agents. The specific method is
to let the cement paste, which is injected into the funnel, flow down freely; then record
the time when the 200 mL tube is filled, that is, the Marsh time. The length of this time
reflects the fluidity of the cement paste.
4.2 Net paste fluidity method (alternative method)
After filling the prepared cement paste into a circular mold with a certain capacity, lift
the circular mold stably, so that the paste expands freely on the glass plate, under the
action of gravity. The diameter after stabilization is the fluidity; the fluidity reflects the
fluidity of the cement paste.
4.3 In case of dispute, the standard method shall prevail.
5 Laboratory and equipment
5.1 Laboratory
The temperature of the laboratory shall be maintained at 20 °C ± 2 °C. The relative
humidity shall not be lower than 50%.
5.2 Equipment
5.2.1 The cement paste mixer: meets the requirements of JC/T 729 and is equipped with
6 mixing pots.
5.2.2 Round mold: A round mold is a metal product, which has an upper opening
diameter of 36 mm, a lower opening diameter of 60 mm, a height of 60 mm, a smooth
inner wall without hidden seams.
5.2.3 Glass plate: Φ400 mm x 5 mm
5.2.4 Scraper
5.2.5 Caliper: The measuring range of the caliper is 300 mm; the division value is 1
mm.
5.2.6 Stopwatch: The division value of the stopwatch is 0.1 s.
5.2.7 Balance: The balance has a range of 100 g and a division value of 0.01 g; OR a
range of 1000 g and a division value of 1 g.
5.2.8 Beaker: 400 mL.
5.2.9 Marsh tube: The straight tube part of the Marsh tube is made of stainless steel; the
tapered funnel part is made of stainless steel or a smooth surface corrosion-resistant
material. The mechanical requirements are as shown in Figure 1.
5.2.10 Graduated cylinder: 250 mL, 1 mL division value.
6 Composition of cement paste
6.1 Cement
Before the test, the cement shall be passed through a 0.9 mm square hole sieve and
mixed evenly. When the test cement is to be kept for more than 24 hours from the
sampling to the test, the cement shall be stored in an airtight container; the container
material shall not react with the cement.
6.2 Water
Clean drinking water.
6.3 Control water-reducing agent
It shall comply with the provisions of Appendix A. When the tester chooses the control
water-reducing agent by himself, it shall ensure that the quality of the water-reducing
agent is stable and uniform.
6.4 The temperature of cement, water, water-reducing agent, test equipment shall be
consistent with that of the lab.
8 Test procedures
8.1 Marsh tube method (standard method)
8.1.1 Each pot of paste is mechanically stirred by a mixer. Make the mixer in working
condition, before the test.
8.1.2 Use a damp cloth, to wet the Marsh tube, beaker, stirring pot, stirring blades. Place
the beaker in the middle below the discharge port of the Marsh tube. Cover it with a
damp cloth.
8.1.3 ADD the standard water-reducing agent and about 1/2 of the water INTO the pot
at the same time. Then use the remaining water, to repeatedly rinse the container which
contains the standard water-reducing agent, until it is clean. Add it all into the pot. Add
cement. Fix the pot on the mixer. Stir it, according to the mixing procedure of JC/T 729.
8.1.4 Take off the pot. Pour the paste into the Marsh tube immediately, while stirring
with a stirring spoon. Open the valve, to let the paste flow down freely. Start
timekeeping. Stop the timekeeping when the paste is poured into the beaker to 200 mL,
this time is the initial Marsh time.
8.1.5 Let the paste in the Marsh tube flow down completely. Recover it to the stirring
pot without any residue. Take an appropriate method to seal it and let it stand, to prevent
moisture from evaporating.
8.1.6 Clean the Marsh tube and beaker.
8.1.7 Adjust the addition of the control water-reducing agent. Repeat the above steps.
Measure the initial Marsh time at each addition of the control water-reducing agent, in
turn.
8.1.8 From the time of adding cement to 60 minutes, re-stir the cement paste that has
been standing still, according to the mixing procedure of JC/T 729. Repeat the
operations in 8.4.1. Determine the 60 min Marsh time of the control water-reducing
agent, at each addition.
8.2 Clean paste fluidity method (alternative method)
8.2.1 Each pot of paste is mechanically stirred by a mixer. Make the mixer in working
condition, before the test.
8.2.2 Place the glass plate on the workbench. Keep its surface level.
8.2.3 Use a damp cloth, to wet the glass plate, the inner wall of the round mold, the
stirring pot, the stirring blades. Place the round mold in the middle of the glass plate.
Cover with a damp cloth.
8.2.4 Add the control water-reducing agent and abou...
