ASTM C561 – Standard Test Method for Ash in a Graphite Sample Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a practical estimate of nonburnable residues in commercially available graphite materials. The ash values determined by this test method are of use in comparing the relative purity of various grades of graphite. To facilitate use, …
ASTM C559 – Standard Test Method for Bulk Density by Physical Measurements of Manufactured Carbon and Graphite Articles Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Bulk density as determined by this test method is a basic material property of importance in manufacturing and application of carbon and graphite. 4.2 This test method can be used for quality and process …
ASTM C557 – Standard Specification for Adhesives for Fastening Gypsum Wallboard to Wood Framing Description: Abstract This specification covers the minimum performance standards for and properties of adhesives intended to bond the back surface paper of gypsum wallboard to wood framing members. Test requirements and test methods for the adhesive used for the application of …
ASTM C554 – Standard Test Method for Crazing Resistance of Fired Glazed Ceramic Whitewares by a Thermal Shock Method Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Unless there is a proper match between the expansions of the glaze and the body, all glazed whitewares may contain residual stresses from the firing that bonded the glaze to the body. …
ASTM C550 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Trueness and Squareness of Rigid Block and Board Thermal Insulation Description: Significance and Use 4.1 It is possible that insulating blocks or boards that are not true or square will not fit properly. It is possible that extra labor will be required to obtain proper fit and that …
ASTM C535 Standard Test Method for Resistance to Degradation of Large-Size Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion and Impact in the Los Angeles Machine Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The test has been widely used as an indicator of the relative quality or competence of various sources of aggregate having similar mineral compositions. The results do not automatically …
ASTM C531 – Standard Test Method for Linear Shrinkage and Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Chemical-Resistant Mortars, Grouts, Monolithic Surfacings, and Polymer Concretes Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method offers a means of comparing the relative linear shrinkage and coefficient of thermal expansion. 4.1.1 The material to be tested is placed in the mold in …
ASTM C522 – Standard Test Method for Airflow Resistance of Acoustical Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The specific airflow resistance of an acoustical material is one of the properties that determine its sound-absorptive and sound-transmitting properties. Measurement of specific airflow resistance is useful during product development, for quality control during manufacture, and for specification purposes. …
ASTM C519 – Test Method for Density of Fibrous Loose Fill Building Insulations (Withdrawn 1995)
ASTM C512 – Standard Test Method for Creep of Concrete in Compression Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method measures the load-induced time-dependent compressive strain at selected ages for concrete under an arbitrary set of controlled environmental conditions. 4.2 This test method can be used to compare creep potentials of different concretes. A procedure is available, …
