ASTM C494 – Standard Specification for Chemical Admixtures for Concrete Description: Abstract This specification covers the materials and the test methods for use in chemical admixtures to be added to hydraulic-cement concrete mixtures in the field. The seven types of admixtures are indicated as follows: Type A—water reducing; Type B—retarding; Type C—accelerating; Type D—water reducing …
ASTM C491 – Test Method for Modulus of Rupture of Air-Setting Plastic Refractories (Withdrawn 1992)
ASTM C482 – Standard Test Method for Bond Strength of Ceramic Tile to Portland Cement Paste Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a means of determining whether or not tile of the types indicated in 1.1 can be bonded with adequate strength to portland cement paste. Tile specifications can refer to this test method in …
ASTM C481 – Standard Test Method for Laboratory Aging of Sandwich Constructions Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Most sandwich panels are subjected to various temperature and humidity environments. This laboratory aging test determines the selected panel property degradation under simulated conditions. 3.2 These test methods provide a standard method of obtaining simulated environmental degradation data for quality …
ASTM C480 – Standard Test Method for Flexure Creep of Sandwich Constructions Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The determination of the creep rate provides information on the behavior of sandwich constructions under constant applied force. Creep is defined as deflection under constant force over a period of time beyond the initial deformation as a result of …
ASTM C476 – Standard Specification for Grout for Masonry Description: Abstract This specification covers two types of grout, fine and coarse grout, for use in the construction of masonry structures. Grout is specified by proportions or strength requirements. Materials used as ingredients in grout shall conform to the requirements specified such as: cementitious materials; blended …
ASTM C473 – Standard Test Methods for Physical Testing of Gypsum Panel Products Description: Abstract These test methods cover the physical testing of gypsum panel products. The test methos appear in the following order: (1) flexural strength (Method A); (2) core, end, and edge hardness (Method A); (3) nail pull resistance (Method A); (4) humidified …
ASTM C471 – Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Gypsum and Gypsum Products (Metric) Description: Scope 1.1 These test methods cover the chemical analysis of gypsum and gypsum panel products, including gypsum ready-mixed plaster, gypsum wood-fibered plaster, and gypsum concrete. 1.2 These test methods appear in the following order: Sections Preparation of Sample …
ASTM C469 – Standard Test Method for Static Modulus of Elasticity and Poisson’s Ratio of Concrete in Compression Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method provides a stress to strain ratio value and a ratio of lateral to longitudinal strain for hardened concrete at whatever age and curing conditions may be designated. 3.2 The modulus of …
ASTM C465 – Standard Specification for Processing Additions for Use in the Manufacture of Hydraulic Cements Description: Abstract This specification covers the criteria and tests to be used for determining whether a processing addition meets the requirement. When proposed addition is accepted for general use in Portland cement, tests shall be made on cements prepared …
