ASTM C338 – Standard Test Method for Softening Point of Glass Description: Significance and Use 2.1 This test method is useful to determine approximately the temperature below which the glass behaves as a rigid solid in glass-forming operations and for a control test to indicate changes in composition. It has been found useful for specification acceptance …
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 C336 – Standard Test Method for Annealing Point and Strain Point of Glass by Fiber Elongation Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides data useful for (1) estimating stress release, (2) the development of proper annealing schedules, and (3) estimating setting points for seals. Accordingly, its usage is widespread throughout manufacturing, research, and …
ASTM C335 – Standard Test Method for Steady-State Heat Transfer Properties of Pipe Insulation Description: Significance and Use 4.1 As determined by this test method, the pipe insulation lineal thermal resistance or conductance (and, when applicable, the thermal resistivity or conductivity) are means of comparing insulations which include the effects of the insulation and its fit …
ASTM C331 – Standard Specification for Lightweight Aggregates for Concrete Masonry Units Description: Abstract This specification covers lightweight aggregates intended for use in concrete masonry units when a prime consideration is to reduce the density of the units. Three general types of lightweight aggregates are covered by this specification: aggregates prepared by expanding, palletizing, or …
ASTM C330 – Standard Specification for Lightweight Aggregates for Structural Concrete Description: Abstract This specification covers lightweight aggregates intended for use in structural concrete in which prime considerations are reducing the density while maintaining the compressive strength of the concrete. Procedures covered in this specification are not intended for job control of concrete. Two general …
ASTM C33 – Standard Specification for Concrete Aggregates Description: Abstract This specification defines the requirements for grading and quality of fine and coarse aggregate for use in concrete. Fine aggregate shall consist of natural sand, manufactured sand, or a combination thereof. Fine aggregate shall be free of injurious amounts of organic impurities. Fine aggregate for …
ASTM C321 – Standard Test Method for Bond Strength of Chemical-Resistant Mortars (Withdrawn 2021) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test offers a method of determining the bond strength between chemical-resistant mortars and chemical-resistant brick. The results obtained by this test method should be used as a guide in, but not as the sole basis for, …
ASTM C311 – Standard Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Coal Ash or Natural Pozzolans for Use in Concrete Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods are used to develop data for comparison with the requirements of Specification C618 or Specification C1697. These test methods are based on standardized testing in the laboratory and are not intended to …
ASTM C31 – Standard Practice for Making and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This practice provides standardized requirements for making, and curing test specimens in the field. This practice also provides requirements for transporting test specimens to the laboratory, and for curing test specimens in the laboratory. Depending on …
