ASTM C642

ASTM C642 – Standard Test Method for Density, Absorption, and Voids in Hardened Concrete

Description:

Significance and Use

4.1 This test method is useful in developing the data required for conversions between mass and volume for concrete. It can be used to determine conformance with specifications for concrete and to show differences from place to place within a mass of concrete.

Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determinations of density, percent absorption, and percent voids in hardened concrete.

1.2 The text of this test method references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory information. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of this standard.

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
