ASTM C1019 – Standard Test Method for Sampling and Testing Grout for Masonry Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Grout used in masonry is a fluid mixture of cementitious materials and aggregate with a high water content for ease of placement. 3.1.1 During construction, grout is placed within or between absorptive masonry units. Excess water must be removed …
ASTM C1018 – Standard Test Method for Flexural Toughness and First-Crack Strength of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (Using Beam With Third-Point Loading) (Withdrawn 2006) Description: Scope 1.1 This test method evaluates the flexural performance of toughness parameters derived from fiber-reinforced concrete in terms of areas under the load-deflection curve obtained by testing a simply supported beam under …
ASTM C1017 – Standard Specification for Chemical Admixtures for Use in Producing Flowing Concrete (Withdrawn 2022) Description: Abstract This specification covers chemical admixtures to be added to hydraulic cement concrete mixtures for use in producing flowing concrete. The two types of chemical admixtures are: Type I—plasticizing; and Type II—plasticizing and retarding. Tests of the chemical …
ASTM C1012 – Standard Test Method for Length Change of Hydraulic-Cement Mortars Exposed to a Sulfate Solution Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method provides a means of assessing the sulfate resistance of mortars made using portland cement, blends of portland cement with pozzolans or slags, and blended hydraulic cements. Test Method C452 is suitable for evaluating …
ASTM C10 – Standard Specification for Natural Cement Description: Abstract This specification covers natural cement. The chemical requirements and the physical requirements are detailed in the specification. The natural cement shall be subjected to fitness, autoclave expansion, time of setting, air content of mortar, and compressive strength tests using specified methods. Scope 1.1 This specification covers …
ASTM B965 – Standard Specification for High Performance Tin-Coated Annealed Copper Wire Intended for Electrical and Electronic Application for Solderability Description: Abstract This specification covers tin-coated annealed copper wire intended for electrical and electronic applications where solderability is a requirement. The tin shall be electroplated for the coating and shall be commercially pure. The base …
ASTM B963 – Standard Test Methods for Oil Content, Oil-Impregnation Efficiency, and Surface-Connected Porosity of Sintered Powder Metallurgy (PM) Products Using Archimedes’ Principle Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Oil content values are generally contained in specifications for oil-impregnated PM bearings. 5.2 The oil-impregnation efficiency provides an indication of how well the as-received parts had been impregnated. 5.3 The …
ASTM B962 – Standard Test Methods for Density of Compacted or Sintered Powder Metallurgy (PM) Products Using Archimedes’ Principle Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The volume of a complex shaped PM part cannot be measured accurately using micrometers or calipers. Since density is mass per unit volume, a precise method for measuring the volume is needed. …
ASTM B934 – Standard Test Method for Effective Case Depth of Ferrous Powder Metallurgy (PM) Parts Using Microindentation Hardness Measurements Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The engineering function of many PM parts may require an exterior portion of the part to have a specified case depth and microindentation hardness. Measurement of effective case depth is used …
ASTM B933 – Standard Test Method for Microindentation Hardness of Powder Metallurgy (PM) Materials Description: Significance and Use 5.1 Microindentation hardness testing provides a measure of the hardness of the microstructural constituents of a porous material. It indicates the hardness the material would have if there were no pores present and the material was tested using …
