ASTM C423 – Standard Test Method for Sound Absorption and Sound Absorption Coefficients by the Reverberation Room Method Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Measurement of the sound absorption of a room is part of the procedure for other acoustical measurements, such as determining the sound power level of a noise source or the sound transmission loss …
ASTM C42 – Standard Test Method for Obtaining and Testing Drilled Cores and Sawed Beams of Concrete Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method provides standardized procedures for obtaining and testing specimens to determine the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strength of in-place concrete. 3.2 Generally, test specimens are obtained when doubt exists about the in-place …
ASTM C418 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Diffusivity by the Flash Method Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Concrete by Sandblasting Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method covers the laboratory evaluation of the relative resistance of concrete surfaces to abrasion. This procedure simulates the action of waterborne abrasives and abrasives under traffic …
ASTM C417 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Conductivity of Unfired Monolithic Refractories Description: Significance and Use 3.1 The thermal conductivity of monolithic refractories is a property required for selecting their thermal transmission characteristics. Users select monolithic refractories to provide specified conditions of heat loss and cold face temperature, without exceeding the temperature limitation of the …
ASTM C416 – Standard Classification of Silica Refractory Brick Description: Significance and Use 3.1 The presence of certain impurities in silica brick tends to lower their refractoriness and service limits. This classification permits those familiar with refractories to predict the refractoriness of silica brick from their alkali and alumina contents. Scope 1.1 This classification is limited to …
ASTM C1341 – Standard Test Method for Flexural Properties of Continuous Fiber-Reinforced Advanced Ceramic Composites Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is used for material development, quality control, and material flexural specifications. Although flexural test methods are commonly used to determine design strengths of monolithic advanced ceramics, the use of flexure test data for …
ASTM C413 – Standard Test Method for Absorption of Chemical-Resistant Mortars, Grouts, Monolithic Surfacings, and Polymer Concretes Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The results obtained by this test method should serve as a guide in, but not as the sole basis for, selection of a chemical-resistant material for a particular application. No attempt has been made …
ASTM C411 – Standard Test Method for Hot-Surface Performance of High-Temperature Thermal Insulation Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Performance in service is the final measure of value for a thermal insulation, but simulative service tests give useful indications. One type involves application for a specified time to a surface heated at a temperature approximately that of …
ASTM C403 – Standard Test Method for Time of Setting of Concrete Mixtures by Penetration Resistance Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Since the setting of concrete is a gradual process, any definition of time of setting must necessarily be arbitrary. In this test method, the times required for the mortar to reach specified values of resistance …
ASTM C40 – Standard Test Method for Organic Impurities in Fine Aggregates for Concrete Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is used in making a preliminary determination of the acceptability of fine aggregates with respect to the requirements of Specification C33/C33M that relate to organic impurities. 4.2 The principal value of this test method is to furnish …
