ASTM C593 – Standard Specification for Fly Ash and Other Pozzolans for Use With Lime for Soil Stabilization Description: Significance and Use 6.1 This test method states various procedures that are recommended to quantify various aspects of the lime enhanced pozzolanic reaction. These tests are intended to qualify sources of fly ash and other pozzolans to …
ASTM C592 – Standard Specification for Mineral Fiber Blanket Insulation and Blanket-Type Pipe Insulation (Metal-Mesh Covered) (Industrial Type) Description: Abstract This specification covers mineral fiber blanket insulation and blanket-type pipe insulation (metal-mesh covered) (industrial type). Mineral fiber metal-mesh covered blanket shall be composed of rock, slag, or glass processed from the molten state into fibrous …
ASTM C591 – Standard Specification for Unfaced Preformed Rigid Cellular Polyisocyanurate Thermal Insulation Description: Abstract This specification covers the types, physical properties, and dimensions of unfaced, preformed rigid cellular polyurethane modified polyisocyanurate plastic material intended for use as thermal insulation on surfaces. This insulation can be classified into six types according to its compressive resistance: …
ASTM C586 – Standard Test Method for Potential Alkali Reactivity of Carbonate Rocks as Concrete Aggregates (Rock-Cylinder Method) Description: Significance and Use 5.1 This test method is intended to give a relatively rapid indication of the potential expansive reactivity of certain carbonate rocks that may be used as concrete aggregates. The test method has been successfully …
ASTM C584 – Standard Test Method for Specular Gloss of Glazed Ceramic Whitewares and Related Products Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a means of establishing specular gloss limits for bright, semi-mat, and mat glazed surfaces. It is realized that specular gloss measurements do not always correlate well with visual rankings of glossiness …
ASTM C580 – Standard Test Method for Flexural Strength and Modulus of Elasticity of Chemical-Resistant Mortars, Grouts, Monolithic Surfacings, and Polymer Concretes Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method is generally applicable to rigid and semirigid materials. Although flexural strength cannot be determined for those materials that do not break, tangent modulus of elasticity can …
ASTM C579 – Standard Test Methods for Compressive Strength of Chemical-Resistant Mortars, Grouts, Monolithic Surfacings, and Polymer Concretes Description: Significance and Use 4.1 These test methods offer a means of determining the compressive strength of chemical-resistant mortars, grouts, monolithic surfacings, and polymer concretes. Scope 1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the compressive strength of chemical-resistant …
ASTM C578 – Standard Specification for Rigid, Cellular Polystyrene Thermal Insulation Description: Abstract This specification covers the standards for the types, physical properties and dimensions of cellular polystyrene boards with or without facings or coatings made by molding (EPS) or extrusion (XPS) of expandable polystyrene proposed for use as thermal insulation. This specification, however, does …
ASTM C577 – Standard Test Method for Permeability of Refractories Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test method is used to measure the rate of flow of air or nitrogen through refractory brick and monoliths and to thus determine the permeability of tested products. 3.2 This test method is useful in research and development for establishing the …
ASTM C567 – Standard Test Method for Determining Density of Structural Lightweight Concrete Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The measured or calculated equilibrium density of structural lightweight concrete determines whether specified density requirements have been met. Unless otherwise specified, determine equilibrium density by calculation using the procedures in 9.2. 5.2 Test Method C138/C138M shall be used to determine the density …
