ASTM C848 – Standard Test Method for Young’s Modulus, Shear Modulus, and Poisson’s Ratio For Ceramic Whitewares by Resonance Description: Significance and Use 3.1 This test system has advantages in certain respects over the use of static loading systems in the measurement of ceramic whitewares. 3.1.1 Only minute stresses are applied to the specimen, thus minimizing the …
ASTM C845 – Standard Specification for Expansive Hydraulic Cement Description: Abstract This specification covers hydraulic cements that expand during the early hardening period after setting. The cement covered by this specification is suitable for use in shrinkage-compensating concrete and shall be designated as Type E-1. Expansive cement shall conform to the requirements as to chemical …
ASTM C838 – Standard Test Method for Bulk Density of As-Manufactured Carbon and Graphite Shapes Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a means of determining bulk density on as-manufactured logs, blocks, or shaped articles. 4.2 This test method is suitable for manufacturing control and acceptance specifications. 4.3 Test Method C559 may be used when a higher degree …
ASTM C836 – Standard Specification for High Solids Content, Cold Liquid-Applied Elastomeric Waterproofing Membrane for Use with Separate Wearing Course Description: Abstract This specification describes the required properties and test methods for cold liquid-applied elastomeric-type membranes for waterproofing building decks and walls subject to hydrostatic pressure in building areas to be occupied by personnel, vehicles, …
ASTM C834 – Standard Specification for Latex Sealants Description: Significance and Use 8.1 This specification covers two types and three grades of latex sealants as described in Section 4 that are formulated for general caulking and sealing operations in building construction. It should be recognized by the user that not all sealants meeting this specification are suitable for …
ASTM C832 – Standard Test Method for Measuring Thermal Expansion and Creep of Refractories Under Load Description: Significance and Use 5.1 The thermal expansion under load and the 20 to 50 h creep properties of a refractory are useful in characterizing the load-bearing capacity of a refractory that is uniformly heated. Directly applicable examples are blast …
ASTM C831 – Standard Test Methods for Residual Carbon, Apparent Residual Carbon, and Apparent Carbon Yield in Coked Carbon-Containing Brick and Shapes Description: Significance and Use 3.1 These test methods are designed for use with carbon-containing products. The residual carbon content of a coked carbon-containing brick or shape is an indication of how much carbon may …
ASTM C830 – Standard Test Methods for Apparent Porosity, Liquid Absorption, Apparent Specific Gravity, and Bulk Density of Refractory Shapes by Vacuum Pressure Description: Significance and Use 3.1 Apparent porosity, water absorption, apparent specific gravity, and bulk density are primary properties of refractory shapes. These properties are widely used in the evaluation and comparison of product …
ASTM C829 – Standard Practices for Measurement of Liquidus Temperature of Glass by the Gradient Furnace Method Description: Significance and Use 3.1 These practices are useful for determining the maximum temperature at which crystallization will form in a glass, and a minimum temperature at which a glass can be held, for extended periods of time, without …
ASTM C827 – Standard Test Method for Change in Height at Early Ages of Cylindrical Specimens of Cementitious Mixtures Description: Significance and Use 4.1 This test method provides a means for comparing the relative shrinkage or expansion of cementitious mixtures. It is particularly applicable to grouting, patching, and form-filling operations where the objective is to completely …
