ASTM C834 – Standard Specification for Latex Sealants Description: Significance and Use 8.1 This specification covers two types and three grades of latex sealants as described in Section 4 that are formulated for general caulking and sealing operations in building construction. It should be recognized by the user that not all sealants meeting this specification are suitable for …
ASTM C832 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Thermal Expansion and Creep of Refractories Under Load Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The thermal expansion under load and the 20 to 50 h creep properties of a refractory are useful in characterizing the load-bearing capacity of a refractory that is uniformly heated. Directly applicable examples are blast …
ASTM C831 – Standard Test Methods for Residual Carbon, Apparent Residual Carbon, and Apparent Carbon Yield in Coked Carbon-Containing Brick and Shapes Description: Significance and Use 3.1 These test methods are designed for use with carbon-containing products. The residual carbon content of a coked carbon-containing brick or shape is an indication of how much carbon may …
ASTM C830 – Standard Test Methods for Apparent Porosity, Liquid Absorption, Apparent Specific Gravity, and Bulk Density of Refractory Shapes by Vacuum Pressure Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Apparent porosity, water absorption, apparent specific gravity, and bulk density are primary properties of refractory shapes. These properties are widely used in the evaluation and comparison of product …
ASTM C829 – Standard Practices for Measurement of Liquidus Temperature of Glass by the Gradient Furnace Method Description: Significance and Use 3.1 These practices are useful for determining the maximum temperature at which crystallization will form in a glass, and a minimum temperature at which a glass can be held, for extended periods of time, without …
ASTM C827 – Standard Test Method for Change in Height at Early Ages of Cylindrical Specimens of Cementitious Mixtures Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a means for comparing the relative shrinkage or expansion of cementitious mixtures. It is particularly applicable to grouting, patching, and form-filling operations where the objective is to completely …
ASTM C813 – Standard Test Method for Hydrophobic Contamination on Glass by Contact Angle Measurement Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The contact angle test is nondestructive and may be used for control and evaluation of processes for the removal of hydrophobic contaminants. The test may also be used for the detection and control of hydrophobic contaminants …
ASTM C807 – Standard Test Method for Time of Setting of Hydraulic Cement Mortar by Modified Vicat Needle Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The purpose of this test method is to establish whether or not a cement complies with a specification limit on time of setting. It has been found to be particularly applicable for the …
ASTM C806 – Standard Test Method for Restrained Expansion of Expansive Cement Mortar Description: Abstract This test method covers the standard procedure for determination of length changes of expansive cement mortar, while under restraint, due to the development of internal forces resulting from hydration of the cement. The test apparatus is comprised of the following: …
ASTM C805 – Standard Test Method for Rebound Number of Hardened Concrete Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is applicable to assess the in-place uniformity of concrete, to delineate variations in concrete quality throughout a structure, and to estimate in-place strength if a correlation is developed in accordance with 5.4. 5.2 For a given concrete mixture, …
