ASTM C886 – Standard Test Method for Scleroscope Hardness Testing of Carbon and Graphite Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The scleroscope is a rebound hardness tester with a scale divided into 140 equal parts. For carbon and graphite materials, there is no established correlation between the Scleroscope hardness scale and other hardness scales. The test …
ASTM C884 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Compatibility Between Concrete and an Epoxy-Resin Overlay Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method applies to materials used in making epoxy-mortar overlays for concrete pavement. If debonding occurs between the overlay and the pavement, the material is unsuitable. 5.2 This test method evaluates the ability of an overlay …
ASTM C883 – Standard Test Method for Effective Shrinkage of Epoxy-Resin Systems Used With Concrete (Withdrawn 1996)
ASTM C882 – Standard Test Method for Bond Strength of Bonding Systems Used With Concrete By Slant Shear Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The strength developed by a bonding system that joins two regions of concrete is its most important property. Abstract This test method covers the determination of the bond strength of epoxy-resin-base bonding systems …
ASTM C881 – Standard Specification for Epoxy-Resin-Base Bonding Systems for Concrete Description: Abstract This specification covers two-component, epoxy-resin bonding systems for application to Portland-cement concrete, which are able to cure under humid conditions and bond to damp surfaces. The epoxy-resin bonding systems are classified according to type, grade, class, and color. The bonding systems can …
ASTM C88 – Standard Test Method for Soundness of Aggregates by Use of Sodium Sulfate or Magnesium Sulfate Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a procedure for making a preliminary estimate of the soundness of aggregates for use in concrete and other purposes. The values obtained may be compared with specifications, for example …
ASTM C878 – Standard Test Method for Restrained Expansion of Shrinkage-Compensating Concrete Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Since the potential for expansion, under conditions of controlled restraint, of concrete made with shrinkage-compensating cement cannot always be satisfactorily predicted from tests of mortars made in accordance with Test Method C806, a need has been recognized for a test …
ASTM C876 – Standard Test Method for Corrosion Potentials of Uncoated Reinforcing Steel in Concrete Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is suitable for in-service evaluation and for use in research and development work. 4.2 This test method is applicable to members regardless of their size or the depth of concrete cover over the reinforcing …
ASTM C874 – Standard Test Method for Rotary Slag Testing of Refractory Materials Description: Significance and Use 2.1 This test method outlines a procedure which, when appropriate evaluation methods are added, can be useful in the development of new products or in the selection of products to be used in contact with a particular slag composition. …
ASTM C871 – Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Thermal Insulation Materials for Leachable Chloride, Fluoride, Silicate, and Sodium Ions Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Research has demonstrated that in addition to the halide ion chloride; fluoride ions, when deposited and concentrated on the surface of austenitic stainless steel, can contribute to external stress corrosion …
