ASTM C1177 – Standard Specification for Glass Mat Gypsum Substrate for Use as Sheathing Description: Abstract This specification covers the requirements for glass mat gypsum substrates designed to be used as exterior substrate or sheathing for weather barriers. The substrates shall consist of a noncombustible water-resistant gypsum core, surfaced with glass mat partially or completely …
ASTM C1173 – Standard Specification for Flexible Transition Couplings for Underground Piping Systems Description: Abstract This specification describes the properties of devices or assemblies suitable for use as flexible transition couplings for underground drainage and sewer piping systems. Couplings that may include bushings or inserts, and meet the requirements of this specification are suitable for …
ASTM C1172 – Standard Specification for Laminated Architectural Flat Glass Description: Abstract This specification covers the quality requirements for cut sizes of flat laminated glass consisting of two or more lites of glass bonded with an interlayer material for use in building glazing. Depending on the number, thickness and treatment of plies, and the number …
ASTM C1171 – Standard Test Method for Quantitatively Measuring the Effect of Thermal Shock and Thermal Cycling on Refractories Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method indicates the ability of a refractory product to withstand the stress generated by sudden changes in temperature. 3.2 Because the recommended furnace temperature of this cycling test is 1200 °C (2190 °F), …
ASTM C117 – Standard Practice for Making Roller-Compacted Concrete in Cylinder Molds Using a Vibrating Table Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This practice is intended to be used for stiff to extremely dry concrete mixtures commonly used in roller-compacted concrete construction. This practice is used instead of rodding or internal vibration, which cannot properly consolidate concrete …
ASTM C1167 – Standard Specification for Clay Roof Tiles Description: Abstract This specification covers clay roof tiles with such durability and appearance that can provide a weather-resistant surface of a specified design. Each tile should be manufactured from clay, shale, or similar naturally occurring earthy substances and subjected to high-temperature firing. The heat treatment should …
ASTM C1166 – Standard Test Method for Flame Propagation of Dense and Cellular Elastomeric Gaskets and Accessories Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is designed to differentiate the flame propagation characteristics of dense or cellular elastomeric compounds used in gaskets, setting blocks, shims, or spacers. It is a small scale test which enables the …
ASTM C1157 – Standard Performance Specification for Hydraulic Cement Description: Scope 1.1 This performance specification covers hydraulic cements for both general and special applications. There are no restrictions on the composition of the cement or its constituents (see Note 1). NOTE 1: There are two related hydraulic cement standards, Specification C150/C150M for portland cement and Specifications C595/C595M for blended cements, both of …
ASTM C1153 – Standard Practice for Location of Wet Insulation in Roofing Systems Using Infrared Imaging Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This practice is used to outline the minimum necessary elements and conditions to obtain an accurate determination of the location of wet insulation in roofing systems using infrared imaging. 4.2 This practice is not meant to …
ASTM C1152 – Standard Test Method for Acid-Soluble Chloride in Mortar and Concrete Description: Significance and Use 4.1 The amount of acid-soluble chloride in most hydraulic-cement systems is equal to the total amount of chloride in the system. However, some organic substances that may be introduced into mortar or concrete contain chloride that is initially acid-insoluble …
