ASTM C578 – Standard Specification for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Thermal Insulation Description: Abstract This specification covers the standards for the types, physical properties and dimensions of cellular polystyrene boards with or without facings or coatings made by molding (EPS) or extrusion (XPS) of expandable polystyrene proposed for use as thermal insulation. This specification, however, does …
ASTM C577 – Standard Test Method for Permeability of Refractories Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method is used to measure the rate of flow of air or nitrogen through refractory brick and monoliths and to thus determine the permeability of tested products. 3.2 This test method is useful in research and development for establishing the …
ASTM C567 – Standard Test Method for Determining Density of Structural Lightweight Concrete Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The measured or calculated equilibrium density of structural lightweight concrete determines whether specified density requirements have been met. Unless otherwise specified, determine equilibrium density by calculation using the procedures in 9.2. 5.2 Test Method C138/C138M shall be used to determine the density …
ASTM C566 – Standard Test Method for Total Evaporable Moisture Content of Aggregate by Drying Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is sufficiently accurate for usual purposes, such as adjusting batch quantities of ingredients for concrete. It will generally measure the moisture in the test sample more reliably than the sample can be made …
ASTM C565 – Standard Test Methods for Tension Testing of Carbon and Graphite Mechanical Materials Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods may be used for quality control testing of established grades of carbon and graphite materials, in the development of new grades, and for other purposes where relative strength levels are the primary quantities …
ASTM C563 – Standard Guide for Approximation of Optimum SO3 in Hydraulic Cement Description: Significance and Use 3.1 The purpose of this guide is to estimate the SO3 content for a hydraulic cement that gives maximum performance. The value obtained is one way to establish an appropriate level of sulfate in the manufacture of cements specified in …
ASTM C562 – Standard Test Method for Moisture in a Graphite Sample Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is applicable only for determination of the volatile moisture content resulting from adsorption of water vapor from the atmosphere, and is not intended to give representative moisture data for graphite that has been exposed to liquid …
ASTM C561 – Standard Test Method for Ash in a Graphite Sample Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a practical estimate of nonburnable residues in commercially available graphite materials. The ash values determined by this test method are of use in comparing the relative purity of various grades of graphite. To facilitate use, …
ASTM C559 – Standard Test Method for Bulk Density by Physical Measurements of Manufactured Carbon and Graphite Articles Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Bulk density as determined by this test method is a basic material property of importance in manufacturing and application of carbon and graphite. 4.2 This test method can be used for quality and process …
ASTM C557 – Standard Specification for Adhesives for Fastening Gypsum Wallboard to Wood Framing Description: Abstract This specification covers the minimum performance standards for and properties of adhesives intended to bond the back surface paper of gypsum wallboard to wood framing members. Test requirements and test methods for the adhesive used for the application of …
