ASTM C1651 – Standard Test Method for Measurement of Roll Wave Optical Distortion in Heat-Treated Flat Glass Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is a procedure for determining the peak-to-valley depth and the wavelength of roll wave in flat glass and then calculating the optical distortion resulting from that roll wave. Peak-to-valley measurements provide …
ASTM C165 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Compressive Properties of Thermal Insulations Description: Significance and Use 4.1 In providing Procedures A and B, it is recognized that different types of thermal insulation will exhibit significantly different behavior under compressive load. Data must usually be obtained from a complete load-deformation curve, and the useful working range …
ASTM C1648 – Standard Guide for Choosing a Method for Determining the Index of Refraction and Dispersion of Glass Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Measurement—The refractive index at any wavelength of a piece of homogeneous glass is a function, primarily, of its composition, and secondarily, of its state of annealing. The index of a glass can …
ASTM C1622 – Standard Specification for Cold-Weather Admixture Systems Description: Abstract This specification covers cold-weather admixture systems to be added to hydraulic-cement concrete when the temperature of the concrete immediately after placement will be low. This specification stipulates tests of the cold-weather admixture system with suitable materials specified or with materials proposed for specific work, …
ASTM C1624 – Standard Test Method for Adhesion Strength and Mechanical Failure Modes of Ceramic Coatings by Quantitative Single Point Scratch Testing Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test is intended to assess the mechanical integrity, failure modes, and practical adhesion strength of a specific hard ceramic coating on a given metal or ceramic substrate. The …
ASTM C1623 – Standard Specification for Manufactured Concrete Masonry Lintels Description: Abstract This specification covers concrete masonry lintels (beams) that are solid in cross-section, are reinforced for flexure, and are made from hydraulic cement, water, and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion of other materials. These lintels are suitable for both loadbearing and nonloadbearing …
ASTM C1621 – Standard Test Method for Passing Ability of Self-Consolidating Concrete by J-Ring Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a procedure to determine the passing ability of self-consolidating concrete. This test method is applicable for laboratory use in comparing the passing ability of different concrete mixtures. It is also applicable in the …
ASTM C1617 – Standard Practice for Quantitative Accelerated Laboratory Evaluation of Extraction Solutions Containing Ions Leached from Thermal Insulation on Aqueous Corrosion of Metals Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Results from this accelerated corrosion test shall not be considered as an indicator of the useful life of the metal equipment. Many factors need consideration for applicability …
ASTM C1611 – Standard Test Method for Slump Flow of Self-Consolidating Concrete Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a procedure to determine the slump flow of self-consolidating concrete in the laboratory or the field. 5.2 This test method is used to monitor the consistency of fresh, unhardened self-consolidating concrete and its unconfined flow potential. …
ASTM C1610 – Standard Test Method for Static Segregation of Self-Consolidating Concrete Using Column Technique Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides users with a procedure to determine the potential static segregation of self-consolidating concrete. NOTE 1: This test method may not be sufficiently rapid to evaluate self-consolidating concrete mixtures in the field before placement. …
