1.1 本试验方法包括测定密实级配压实集料的潜在体积膨胀，这些集料包含易水合和随后体积增加的成分，例如某些工业副产品中出现的游离钙和镁氧化物。 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值。每个系统中规定的值可能不是精确的等效值；因此，每个系统应相互独立使用。 将两个系统的值合并可能会导致不符合标准。 注1: 筛孔尺寸由规范中的标准名称确定 E11 . 括号中给出的替代名称仅供参考，并不代表不同的标准筛孔尺寸。 1.3 本标准的文本引用了提供解释材料的注释和脚注。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）。本标准的用户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（TBT）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》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 4.1 本试验方法提供了一个程序，用于确定钢渣和其他材料是否符合规范，例如规范 D2940/D2940M ，这限制了含有水化成分的基层和底基层骨料的允许膨胀。 4.2 该试验方法也可用于评估老化或其他处理对降低此类材料膨胀潜力的有效性。 4.3 试验结果与现场性能没有相关性，获得的值不一定表明在使用条件下可能发生的膨胀。 注2: 本标准产生的结果质量取决于执行程序的人员的能力以及所用设备的能力、校准和维护。符合规范标准的机构 D3666 通常认为能够胜任和客观的测试、抽样、检查等。本标准的用户应注意遵守规范 D3666 单独使用并不能完全确保可靠的结果。可靠的结果取决于许多因素； 遵循规范建议 D3666 或一些类似的可接受指南提供了评估和控制其中一些因素的方法。

1.1 This test method covers the determination of potential volume expansion of dense graded compacted aggregates that contain components susceptible to hydration and consequent volume increase, such as the free calcium and magnesium oxides that occur in some industrial by-products. 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 with the standard. Note 1: 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 standard references notes and footnotes which 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. ====== Significance And Use ====== 4.1 This test method provides a procedure for determining the compliance of steel slags and other materials with specifications, such as Specification D2940/D2940M , that limit permissible expansion of base and subbase aggregates containing components subject to hydration. 4.2 This test method can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of aging or other treatments for reducing the expansive potential of such materials. 4.3 Test results have not been correlated with field performance, and values obtained do not necessarily indicate expansion that may occur in service conditions. Note 2: The quality of the results produced by this standard are dependent on the competence of the personnel performing the procedure and the capability, calibration, and maintenance of the equipment used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Specification D3666 are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing, sampling, inspection, etc. Users of this standard are cautioned that compliance with Specification D3666 alone does not completely ensure reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors; following the suggestions of Specification D3666 or some similar acceptable guideline provides a means of evaluating and controlling some of those factors.
