ASTM C1279 – Standard Test Method for Non-Destructive Photoelastic Measurement of Edge and Surface Stresses in Annealed, Heat-Strengthened, and Fully Tempered Flat Glass Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The strength and performance of heat-strengthened and fully-tempered glass is greatly affected by the surface and edge stress induced during the heat-treating process. 5.2 The edge and surface stress …
ASTM C1275 – Standard Test Method for Monotonic Tensile Behavior of Continuous Fiber-Reinforced Advanced Ceramics with Solid Rectangular Cross-Section Test Specimens at Ambient Temperature Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method may be used for material development, material comparison, quality assurance, characterization, and design data generation. 4.2 Continuous fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites generally characterized by fine …
ASTM C1274 – Standard Test Method for Advanced Ceramic Specific Surface Area by Physical Adsorption Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Advanced ceramic powders and porous ceramic bodies often have a very fine particulate morphology and structure that are marked by high surface-to-volume (S-V) ratios. These ceramics with high S-V ratios commonly exhibit enhanced chemical reactivity and …
ASTM C1273 – Standard Test Method for Tensile Strength of Monolithic Advanced Ceramics at Ambient Temperatures Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method may be used for material development, material comparison, quality assurance, characterization, and design data generation. 4.2 High-strength, monolithic advanced ceramic materials generally characterized by small grain sizes (<50 μm) and bulk densities near …
ASTM C1271 – Standard Test Method for X-ray Spectrometric Analysis of Lime and Limestone Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This procedure is suitable for manufacturing control and verifying that the product meets specifications. It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to ensure product quality and minimize production delays. The analytical performance data included may be …
ASTM C127 – Standard Test Method for Relative Density (Specific Gravity) and Absorption of Coarse Aggregate (Withdrawn 2024) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Relative density (specific gravity) is the ratio of mass of an aggregate to the mass of a volume of water equal to the volume of the aggregate particles – also referred to as …
ASTM C1264 – Standard Specification for Sampling, Inspection, Rejection, Certification, Packaging, Marking, Shipping, Handling, and Storage of Gypsum Panel Products Description: Abstract This specification covers sampling; inspection; rejection; certification; packaging and marking; and shipping, handling, and storage of gypsum panel products. When specified by the purchase agreement, samples of gypsum panel products shall be taken …
ASTM C1260 – Standard Test Method for Potential Alkali Reactivity of Aggregates (Mortar-Bar Method) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a means of detecting the potential of an aggregate intended for use in concrete for undergoing alkali-silica reaction resulting in potentially deleterious internal expansion. It is based on the NBRI Accelerated Test Method (1-4).3 It …
ASTM C1258 – Standard Test Method for Elevated Temperature and Humidity Resistance of Vapor Retarders for Insulation Description: Significance and Use 5.1 On systems operating at sub-ambient temperature, humid ambient conditions cause a vapor driving force toward the insulation. If not retarded, the driven moisture vapor is detrimental to the insulation’s thermal resistance. A vapor retarder …
ASTM C1257 – Standard Test Method for Accelerated Weathering of Solvent-Release-Type Sealants Description: Significance and Use 5.1 It is difficult to establish a precise correlation between laboratory accelerated and natural weathering because of (1) geographical climatic variations, local weather variation from normal, and local pollutants and (2) the fact that the acceleration factor is material dependent, varying with the type …
