ASTM C1419 – Standard Test Method for Sonic Velocity in Refractory Materials at Room Temperature and Its Use in Obtaining an Approximate Young’s Modulus Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is used to determine the sonic velocity and approximate Young’s modulus of refractory shapes at room temperature. Since this test is nondestructive, specimens may …
ASTM C1404 – Standard Test Method for Bond Strength of Adhesive Systems Used with Concrete as Measured by Direct Tension (Withdrawn 2010) Description: Significance and Use The bonding properties of adhesives are important for concrete repair applications. This test method provides a means to measure the adhesive characteristics of materials used to bond freshly mixed …
ASTM C1401 – Standard Guide for Structural Sealant Glazing Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The old saying “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link” is very applicable to a SSG system. In reality, a SSG system, to be successful, must establish and maintain a chain of adhesion. For example, a factory applied finish …
ASTM C140 – Standard Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Concrete Masonry Units and Related Units Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods provide general testing requirements for application to a broad range of concrete products. Those general testing requirements are included in the body of this standard. NOTE 2: Consult manufacturer, supplier, product specifications, or …
ASTM C1399 – Standard Test Method for Obtaining Average Residual-Strength of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (Withdrawn 2024) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method provides a quantitative measure useful in the evaluation of the performance of fiber–reinforced concrete. It allows for comparative analysis among beams containing different fiber types, including materials, dimension and shape, and different fiber …
ASTM C1396 – Standard Specification for Gypsum Board Description: Abstract This specification covers gypsum boards which include the following: gypsum wallboard for use on walls, ceilings, or partitions and that affords a surface suitable to receive decoration; predecorated gypsum board for use as the finished surfacing for walls, ceilings, or partitions; gypsum backing board, coreboard, …
ASTM C1385 – Standard Practice for Sampling Materials for Shotcrete Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This practice is used to obtain representative samples of materials delivered to the shotcrete machine. These samples are used to perform tests to determine compliance with the specifications under which the material is furnished. Scope 1.1 This practice covers procedures for obtaining …
ASTM C1383 – Standard Test Method for Measuring the P-Wave Speed and the Thickness of Concrete Plates Using the Impact-Echo Method Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method may be used as a substitute for, or in conjunction with, coring to determine the thickness of slabs, pavements, decks, walls, or other plate structures. There is …
ASTM C138 – Standard Test Method for Density (Unit Weight), Yield, and Air Content (Gravimetric) of Concrete Description: Abstract This test method covers determination of the density of freshly mixed concrete and gives formulas for calculating the unit weight, yield or relative yield, cement content, and air content of the concrete. Yield is defined as …
ASTM C1374 – Standard Test Method for Determination of Installed Thickness of Pneumatically Applied Loose-Fill Building Insulation Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method was designed to give the manufacturer of loose-fill insulation products a way of determining what the initial installed thickness should be in a horizontal open attic for pneumatic applications. 5.2 The installed …
