ASTM C373 – Standard Test Methods for Determination of Water Absorption and Associated Properties by Vacuum Method for Pressed Ceramic Tiles and Glass Tiles and Boil Method for Extruded Ceramic Tiles and Non-tile Fired Ceramic Whiteware Products Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Measurement of density, porosity, and specific gravity is a tool for determining the degree …
ASTM C365 – Standard Test Method for Flatwise Compressive Properties of Sandwich Cores Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Flatwise compressive strength and modulus are fundamental mechanical properties of sandwich cores that are used in designing sandwich panels. Deformation data can be obtained, and from a complete force versus deformation curve, it is possible to compute the …
ASTM C364 – Standard Test Method for Edgewise Compressive Strength of Sandwich Constructions Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The edgewise compressive strength of short sandwich construction specimens provides a basis for judging the load-carrying capacity of the construction in terms of developed facing stress. 5.2 This test method provides a standard method of obtaining sandwich edgewise compressive …
ASTM C363 – Standard Test Method for Node Tensile Strength of Honeycomb Core Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The honeycomb tensile-node bond strength is a fundamental property than can be used in determining whether honeycomb cores can be handled during cutting, machining and forming without the nodes breaking. The tensile-node bond strength is the tensile …
ASTM C36 – Standard Specification for Gypsum Wallboard (Withdrawn 2005) Description: Scope 1.1 This specification covers gypsum wallboard which is designed to be used for walls, ceilings, or partitions and affords a surface suitable to receive decoration. Note 1—Specification C 840 contains application procedures for gypsum wallboard. 1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound or …
ASTM C359 – Standard Test Method for Early Stiffening of Hydraulic-Cement (Mortar Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The purpose of this test method is to determine the degree to which a cement mortar develops early stiffening. It is intended for use by those interested in methods for determining the potential early stiffening of hydraulic-cement. 5.2 When …
ASTM C357 – Standard Test Method for Bulk Density of Granular Refractory Materials Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Granular refractory materials may be either refractory grain raw materials that are used in the manufacture of finished refractory products, or bulk granular refractory materials that are sold, with or without some degree of processing, to refractory consumers …
ASTM C356 – Standard Test Method for Linear Shrinkage of Preformed High-Temperature Thermal Insulation Subjected to Soaking Heat Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Linear shrinkage, as used in this test method, refers to the change in linear dimensions that has occurred in test specimens after they have been subjected to soaking heat for a period of …
ASTM C349 – Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Hydraulic-Cement Mortars (Using Portions of Prisms Broken in Flexure) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This method provides a means of obtaining compressive strength values from the same specimens previously used for flexural strength determinations by Test Method C348. The compressive strength values are for reference purposes, and …
ASTM C341 – Standard Practice for Preparation and Conditioning of Cast, Drilled, or Sawed Specimens of Hydraulic-Cement Mortar and Concrete Used for Length Change Measurements Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Measurements of length change permit assessment of the potential for volumetric expansion or contraction of cast, drilled, or sawed specimens of hydraulic-cement mortar, and concrete due …
