ASTM C1258 – Standard Test Method for Elevated Temperature and Humidity Resistance of Vapor Retarders for Insulation Description: Significance and Use 5.1 On systems operating at sub-ambient temperature, humid ambient conditions cause a vapor driving force toward the insulation. If not retarded, the driven moisture vapor is detrimental to the insulation’s thermal resistance. A vapor retarder …
ASTM C1257 – Standard Test Method for Accelerated Weathering of Solvent-Release-Type Sealants Description: Significance and Use 5.1 It is difficult to establish a precise correlation between laboratory accelerated and natural weathering because of (1) geographical climatic variations, local weather variation from normal, and local pollutants and (2) the fact that the acceleration factor is material dependent, varying with the type …
ASTM C1255- Standard Test Method for Analysis of Uranium and Thorium in Soils by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method was developed and the instrument calibrated using ground soils from the site of a nuclear materials plant. This test method can be used to measure the extent of contamination …
ASTM C1254 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Uranium in Mineral Acids by X-Ray Fluorescence Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is applicable to aqueous solutions of uranium containing 0.05 to 20 g uranium per litre of solution presented to the spectrometer. 5.2 Either wavelength-dispersive or energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence systems may be used provided …
ASTM C1252 – Standard Test Methods for Uncompacted Void Content of Fine Aggregate (as Influenced by Particle Shape, Surface Texture, and Grading) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Test Methods A and B provide percent void content determined under standardized conditions which depend on the particle shape and texture of a fine aggregate. An increase in void …
ASTM C125 – Standard Terminology Relating to Concrete and Concrete Aggregates Description: Scope 1.1 This standard is a compilation of definitions of terms as they are used in standards under the jurisdiction of Committee C09. 1.2 Other terminology under the jurisdiction of Committee C09 is included in two specialized standards. Terms relating to constituents of concrete aggregates …
ASTM C1240 – Standard Specification for Silica Fume Used in Cementitious Mixtures Description: Abstract This specification covers silica fume for use in concrete and other systems containing hydraulic cement. The material shall composed of silica fume, mostly of amorphous silica. Test methods for chemical analysis, moisture content and loss on ignition, bulk density, specific surface, …
ASTM C1234 – Standard Practice for Preparation of Oils and Oily Waste Samples by High-Pressure, High-Temperature Digestion for Trace Element Determinations Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This practice is useful for preparation of difficult-to-digest, primarily oils and oily wastes, specimens for trace element determinations of up to 28 elements by atomic absorption or plasma emission techniques. …
ASTM C1231 – Standard Practice for Use of Unbonded Caps in Determination of Compressive Strength of Hardened Cylindrical Concrete Specimens Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This practice provides for using an unbonded capping system in testing hardened concrete cylinders made in accordance with Practices C31/C31M or C192/C192M, or cores obtained in accordance with Test Method C42/C42M in lieu of the capping …
ASTM C1230 – Standard Test Method for Performing Tension Tests on Glass-Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) Bonding Pads Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Tensile loads determined by this test method are useful for quality control of GFRC architectural panels manufactured using the steel panel frame support design. In addition, test results may be used to verify compliance …
