This Standard sets out the method for determining the water retention of masonry cement prepared and tested as a standard mortar.

This Standard sets out the method for determining the water retention of masonry cement prepared and tested as a standard mortar.NOTES: 1 These testing procedures may involve the use of materials or equipment that require safety measures to be observed.2 This Standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.3 The user of this Standard should establish appropriate safety and health practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.4 Test data for the determination of statements of repeatability and reproducibility have not yet been evaluated. Such statements will be included in a later revision of this test method or amendment when they become available.
