ASTM C1622 – Standard Specification for Cold-Weather Admixture Systems Description: Abstract This specification covers cold-weather admixture systems to be added to hydraulic-cement concrete when the temperature of the concrete immediately after placement will be low. This specification stipulates tests of the cold-weather admixture system with suitable materials specified or with materials proposed for specific work, …
ASTM C1624 – Standard Test Method for Adhesion Strength and Mechanical Failure Modes of Ceramic Coatings by Quantitative Single Point Scratch Testing Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test is intended to assess the mechanical integrity, failure modes, and practical adhesion strength of a specific hard ceramic coating on a given metal or ceramic substrate. The …
ASTM C1623 – Standard Specification for Manufactured Concrete Masonry Lintels Description: Abstract This specification covers concrete masonry lintels (beams) that are solid in cross-section, are reinforced for flexure, and are made from hydraulic cement, water, and mineral aggregates with or without the inclusion of other materials. These lintels are suitable for both loadbearing and nonloadbearing …
ASTM C1621 – Standard Test Method for Passing Ability of Self-Consolidating Concrete by J-Ring Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a procedure to determine the passing ability of self-consolidating concrete. This test method is applicable for laboratory use in comparing the passing ability of different concrete mixtures. It is also applicable in the …
ASTM C1617 – Standard Practice for Quantitative Accelerated Laboratory Evaluation of Extraction Solutions Containing Ions Leached from Thermal Insulation on Aqueous Corrosion of Metals Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Results from this accelerated corrosion test shall not be considered as an indicator of the useful life of the metal equipment. Many factors need consideration for applicability …
ASTM C1611 – Standard Test Method for Slump Flow of Self-Consolidating Concrete Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a procedure to determine the slump flow of self-consolidating concrete in the laboratory or the field. 5.2 This test method is used to monitor the consistency of fresh, unhardened self-consolidating concrete and its unconfined flow potential. …
ASTM C1610 – Standard Test Method for Static Segregation of Self-Consolidating Concrete Using Column Technique Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides users with a procedure to determine the potential static segregation of self-consolidating concrete. NOTE 1: This test method may not be sufficiently rapid to evaluate self-consolidating concrete mixtures in the field before placement. …
ASTM C1609 – Standard Test Method for Flexural Performance of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (Using Beam With Third-Point Loading) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The first-peak strength characterizes the flexural behavior of the fiber-reinforced concrete up to the onset of cracking, while residual strengths at specified deflections characterize the residual capacity after cracking. Specimen toughness is a measure …
ASTM C1604 – Standard Test Method for Obtaining and Testing Drilled Cores of Shotcrete Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides standardized procedures for obtaining cored specimens to determine the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of shotcrete during pre-construction, during construction, and from older shotcrete structures. 4.2 Generally, test specimens are obtained in situ when doubt …
ASTM C1601 – Standard Test Method for Field Determination of Water Penetration of Masonry Wall Surfaces Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This non-destructive test method contains procedures and equipment requirements to quantitatively determine the surface penetration of water at a single location on a masonry wall. The test method is not designed to determine the overall …
