DETERMINATION OF AIR CONTENT OF
HYDRAULIC CEMENT MORTAR
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards
Institution on 12 March 1985, after the draft finalized by the Cement and
Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Engineer-
ing Division Council.
0.2 A number of standards on methods of testing of cement and concrete
has already been published. Having recognized that reliable and
reproducible test results could be obtained only with use of standard
testing equipment capable of giving desired level of accuracy, the
Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had taken up formulation of
Indian Standards on instruments for testing cement and concrete and, as
a result, a number of Indian Standards on instruments for testing cement
and concrete have already been published. These standards are
expected to promote development and manufacture of standard testing
equipment in the country.
0.3 Accordingly, this standard has been prepared to cover the require-
ments of cylinder measures used in tests for determination of air content
of hydraulic cement mortar. The method for determination of air
content of hydraulic cement mortar is covered in IS : 4031-1968*.
0.4 In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been given to
international coordination among the standards and practices prevailing
in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country.
0.5 For the purpose of decidin; whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test or anaiy<is, shall be rounded OR in accord-
ance with IS : 2-1960t. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.

IS : 11263- 1985
5.1.1 Cylinder measures may also be marked with the IS1 Certification
Mark.
NOTE - The use of the ISI Certification Mark is governed by the provisions of
the Indian Standards Institution ( Certification Marks) Act and the Rules and
Regulations made thereunder. The ISI Mark on products covered by an Indian
Standard ccnveys the assurance that they have been produced to comply with the
requirements of that standard under a well-defined system of inspection, testing and
quality control which is devised and supervised by JSI and operated by the producer.
IS1 marked products are also continuously checked by IS1 for conformity to that
standard as a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for the
use of the ISI Certification Mark may be granted to manufacturers or processors,
may be obtained from the Indian Standards Institution.
