Designation:C1602/C1602M12Standard Specification forMixing Water Used in the Production of Hydraulic CementConcrete1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1602/C1602M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers the compositional and perfor-mance requirements for water used as mixing water in hydrau-lic cement concrete.It defines sources of water and providesrequirements and testing frequencies for qualifying individualor combined water sources.In any case where the requirementsof the purchaser differ from these in this specification,thepurchasers specification shall govern.1.2 This specification does not purport to cover methods ofstorage,transportation,or blending of water,or to address thedevelopment and maintenance of quality control programssponsored or managed by the manufacturer.1.3 The values stated in either SI units,shown in brackets,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.1.4 The text of this specification references notes andfootnotes that provide explanatory material.These notes andfootnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)shall not beconsidered as requirements of the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and to determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C31/C31M Practice for Making and Curing Concrete TestSpecimens in the FieldC33/C33M Specification for Concrete AggregatesC39/C39M Test Method for Compressive Strength of Cylin-drical Concrete SpecimensC94/C94M Specification for Ready-Mixed ConcreteC109/C109M Test Method for Compressive Strength ofHydraulic Cement Mortars(Using 2-in.or 50-mm CubeSpecimens)C114 Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of HydraulicCementC125 Terminology Relating to Concrete and Concrete Ag-gregatesC192/C192M Practice for Making and Curing Concrete TestSpecimens in the LaboratoryC305 Practice for Mechanical Mixing of Hydraulic CementPastes and Mortars of Plastic ConsistencyC403/C403M Test Method for Time of Setting of ConcreteMixtures by Penetration ResistanceC494/C494M Specification for Chemical Admixtures forConcreteC1603 Test Method for Measurement of Solids in Water2.2 ACI Documents:3ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Con-crete and Commentary3.Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms used in this specification,referto Terminology3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 combined water,na mixture of two or more sourcesof water blended together,before or during introduction intothe mixture,for use as mixing water in the production ofconcrete.3.2.2 hydration stabilizing admixtures,nset retardingadmixtures,conforming to Specification C494/C494M Type Bor D,that can predictably reduce the hydration rate of cementfor applications requiring the management of time of setting ofreturned concrete,reducing the hydration rate of cement fines1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C09 onConcrete and Concrete Aggregatesand is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC09.40 on Ready-Mixed Concrete.Current edition approved Feb.1,2012.Published March 2012.Originallyapproved in 2004.Last previous edition approved in 2006 as C1602/C1602M06.DOI:10.1520/C1602_C1602M-12.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3Available from American Concrete Institute(ACI),P.O.Box 9094,FarmingtonHills,MI 48333.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 in water from concrete production,or for applications requiringextended delivery time of ready mixed concrete.3.2.3 non-potable,adjwater sources that are not fit forhuman consumption,or if it contains quantities of substancesthat discolor it or make it smell or have objectionable taste butdoes not contain water from concrete production operations.3.2.4 potable water,nwater suitable for human consump-tion3.2.5 water from concrete production operations,nwaterrecovered from processes of hydraulic cement concrete pro-duction that includes wash water from mixers or that was a partof a concrete mixture;water collected in
