1.1 本规范涵盖旨在为混凝土内部养护提供水的轻质骨料。它包括测定轻质集料吸收和解吸性能的试验方法。 注1: 内部养护提供了额外的水源来维持水合作用，并大大减少早期自收缩和自干燥，这可能是早期开裂的重要原因。 附录X1 提供了计算内部养护用轻质骨料数量的指导。 1.2 以国际单位制或英寸磅单位表示的数值应单独视为标准。每个系统中规定的值可能不是完全相等的； 因此，每个系统应独立使用。将两个系统的值组合在一起可能会导致不一致。有些数值只有国际单位制，因为在实践中没有使用英寸磅当量。 注2: 筛网尺寸由规范中的标准名称确定 E11 括号中给出的备选名称仅供参考，不代表不同的标准筛尺寸。 1.3 本规范的文本引用了提供解释性材料的注释和脚注。这些注释和脚注（不包括表和图中的注释和脚注）不应被视为本标准的要求。 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。 本标准的使用者有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。

1.1 This specification covers lightweight aggregate intended to provide water for internal curing of concrete. It includes test methods for determining the absorption and desorption properties of lightweight aggregate. Note 1: Internal curing provides an additional source of water to sustain hydration and substantially reduce the early-age autogenous shrinkage and self-desiccation that can be significant contributors to early-age cracking. Appendix X1 provides guidance on calculating the quantity of lightweight aggregate for internal curing. 1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance. Some values have only SI units because the inch-pound equivalents are not used in practice. Note 2: Sieve size is identified by its standard designation in Specification E11 . The alternative designation given in parentheses is for information only and does not represent a different standard sieve size. 1.3 The text of this specification references notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard. 1.4 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
