ASTM C633 – Standard Test Method for Adhesion or Cohesion Strength of Thermal Spray Coatings Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method is recommended for quality control, acceptance testing; or it may help to develop or qualify a thermal spray operator’s equipment and procedure or to aid in developing thermal spray coatings with improved adhesion …
ASTM C627 – Standard Test Method for Evaluating Ceramic Floor Tile Installation Systems Using the Robinson-Type Floor Tester Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a standardized procedure for evaluating performance of ceramic floor tile installations under conditions similar to actual specific usages. It can be used to make comparisons between customary basic installation …
ASTM C623 – Standard Test Method for Young’s Modulus, Shear Modulus, and Poisson’s Ratio for Glass and Glass-Ceramics by Resonance Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test system has advantages in certain respects over the use of static loading systems in the measurement of glass and glass-ceramics: 4.1.1 Only minute stresses are applied to the specimen, thus …
ASTM C621 – Standard Test Method for Isothermal Corrosion Resistance of Refractories to Molten Glass Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method provides a rapid, inexpensive method for comparing the corrosion resistance of refractories. The isothermal conditions of this test method represent the most severe static corrosion environment possible at the specified test temperature. This …
ASTM C617 – Standard Practice for Capping Cylindrical Concrete Specimens Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This practice describes procedures for providing plane surfaces on the ends of freshly molded concrete cylinders, hardened cylinders, or drilled concrete cores when the end surfaces do not conform with the planeness and perpendicularity requirements of applicable standards. Practice C1231/C1231M describes alternative procedures …
ASTM C612 – Standard Specification for Mineral Fiber Block and Board Thermal Insulation Description: Abstract This specification covers mineral fiber block and board thermal insulation. Mineral fiber board insulation covered by this specification shall be classified into types and categories; category 1 – no compressive resistance properties are required, category 2 – minimum compressive resistance …
ASTM C605 – Standard Test Method for Reheat Change of Refractory Brick Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Refractory brick and shapes of different compositions exhibit unique permanent linear changes after heating or reheating. This test method provides a standard procedure for heating various classes of refractories with appropriate heating schedules. 3.2 Linear reheat changes obtained by this …
ASTM C604 – Standard Test Method for True Specific Gravity of Refractory Materials by Gas-Comparison Pycnometer Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The true specific gravity of a material is the ratio of its true density, determined at a specific temperature, to the true density of water, determined at a specific temperature. Thus, the true specific gravity …
ASTM C602 – Standard Specification for Agricultural Liming Materials Description: Abstract This specification covers agricultural liming materials, such as quicklime (burnt lime), hydrated lime, limestone, (calcitic and dolomitic), marl, shells, and by-products including slag, and other materials. Agricultural liming materials shall be classified in terms of calcium carbonate equivalent. Hydrated lime, quicklime, and agricultural slag …
ASTM C598 – Standard Test Method for Annealing Point and Strain Point of Glass by Beam Bending Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method offers an alternate procedure to Test Method C336 for determining the annealing and strain points of glass. It is particularly recommended for glasses not adaptable to flame working. Also fewer corrections are necessary …
