ASTM C1149 – Standard Specification for Self-Supported Spray Applied Cellulosic Thermal Insulation Description: Abstract This specification covers self-supported spray applied cellulosic thermal insulation for use as thermal insulation or acoustical absorbent material, or both. The chemically-treated cellulosic materials that are also covered in this specification are used for pneumatic applications operating within a specific temperature …

ASTM C1147 – Standard Practice for Determining the Short Term Tensile Weld Strength of Chemical-Resistant Thermoplastics Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The mechanical performance of welded thermoplastic structures is largely dependent on the quality of the welding operation. It is necessary for fabricators to determine that the proper welding procedures are being followed and that welders …

ASTM C1140 – Standard Practice for Preparing and Testing Specimens from Shotcrete Test Panels Description: Significance and Use 4.1 Specimens obtained in accordance with the procedure section of this practice may be used for preconstruction studies of shotcrete mixtures, to qualify nozzlemen and equipment, or for quality control, or compressive or flexural strength testing, during the …

ASTM C1138 – Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Concrete (Underwater Method) Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is intended to qualitatively simulate the behavior of swirling water containing suspended and transported solid objects that produce abrasion of concrete and cause potholes and related effects. 4.2 This test method should provide a relative evaluation …

ASTM C1126 – Standard Specification for Faced or Unfaced Rigid Cellular Phenolic Thermal Insulation Description: Abstract This specification covers faced or unfaced rigid cellular phenolic thermal insulation. Insulations in the form of boards shall be faced or unfaced, while tubular forms shall be unfaced. This specification does not apply to field expanded cellular phenolic materials. …

ASTM C1116 – Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Description: Abstract This specification covers all forms of fiber-reinforced concrete that are delivered to a purchaser with the ingredients uniformly mixed. This specification may also apply to fiber-reinforced concrete intended for shotcreting by the dry-mix process when sampling and testing is possible at the point of placement. …

ASTM C1115 – Standard Specification for Dense Elastomeric Silicone Rubber Gaskets and Accessories Description: Significance and Use 8.1 This specification describes types (based on resistance to tearing and compression set), grades (based on durometer hardness), class (based on flame propagation requirements), and surfaces (based on surface characteristics) of products as listed in Section 4 for various applications. It …

ASTM C1113 – Standard Test Method for Thermal Conductivity of Refractories by Hot Wire (Platinum Resistance Thermometer Technique) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The k-values determined at one or more temperatures can be used for ranking products in relative order of their thermal conductivities. 5.2 Estimates of heat flow, interface temperatures, and cold face temperatures of single …

ASTM C1111 – Standard Test Method for Determining Elements in Waste Streams by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is useful for the determination of concentrations of metals in many waste streams from various nuclear and non-nuclear manufacturing processes. The test method is useful for characterizing liquid wastes and …

ASTM C1107 – Standard Specification for Packaged Dry, Hydraulic-Cement Grout (Nonshrink) Description: Abstract This specification covers packaged dry, hydraulic cement grout (nonshrink) intended for use under applied load where a change in height below initial placement height is to be avoided. Grouts covered are composed of hydraulic cement, fine aggregate, and other ingredients. They require …
