This practice covers the technical training and experience of laboratory testing personnel and identifies the minimum technical requirements for laboratory equipment used in testing of hydraulic cement as prescribed by ASTM. This practice provides minimum criteria for evaluating the...

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...

This specification covers ten types of portland cement, as follows (see Note 2): Type I-For use when the special properties specified for any other type are not required. Type IA-Air-entraining cement for the same uses as Type I, where air-entrainment is desired. Type II-For general...

This test method covers the determination of the time of setting of hydraulic cement mortar by means of the modified Vicat needle. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. This standard does not purport to...

This test method covers the determination of the time of setting of hydraulic-cement paste by means of the Gillmore needles. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. The text of this standard references notes...

This test method covers the determination of early stiffening in hydraulic-cement mortar. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard. The text of this standard...

This test method covers the determination of the flexural strength of hydraulic-cement mortars. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. Values in SI units shall be obtained by measurement in SI units or by...

This test method covers the determination of the air content of hydraulic cement mortar under the conditions hereinafter specified. The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. Values in SI shall be obtained by...

This specification covers natural cement and quicksetting natural cement. NOTE 1-Examples of typical past uses of natural cement include unit masonry mortar, cement plaster, grout, whitewash, and concrete. The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to...

This test method covers the determination of the compressive strength of hydraulic cement grout for preplaced-aggregate (PA) concrete. The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily...

This specification is for rapid hardening hydraulic cements. This is a specification giving performance requirements. There are no restrictions on the composition of the cement or its constituents. The specification classifies cements by type based on specific requirements for...

This test method covers determination of the compressive strength of hydraulic cement mortars, using 2-in. or [50 mm] cube specimens. NOTE 1-Test Method C349 provides an alternative procedure for this determination (not to be used for acceptance tests). This test method covers the...

This practice is intended to provide accepted procedures to designers and installers of cement-based adhered masonry veneer in residential and commercial construction. This information is meant to complement the specific installation instructions provided by manufacturers of...

This test method covers determination of slump of hydraulic-cement concrete, both in the laboratory and in the field. The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in...

This specification covers the minimum requirements for scales, balances, reference masses, and glass graduates used in the physical testing of hydraulic cements. Requirements for analytical reference masses and balances are not included in this specification, but are to be found in Test...

This specification covers two types of plastic cement for use in portland cement-based plasters for exterior (stucco) and interior application. Units-The values stated in either SI units or inchpound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may...

This specification covers the requirements and methods for establishing the suitability of a material for use as an air-entraining addition to be interground with the clinker in the manufacture of air-entraining hydraulic cement conforming to Specifications C150/C150M, C595/C595M, and...

This specification covers resilient wall base. These products are manufactured from rubber or thermoplastic materials, or a combination thereof. Wall base is used to provide a functional, as well as decorative border, between walls and floors. This specification does not include rigid products. The...

This test method covers screening procedures for the preliminary evaluation of leak-stopping materials intended for use in engine cooling systems. (Heavy-duty users are referred to X1.2.21 in Specification D4485 for additional information.) The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as...

This guide covers the categories of anchors and anchoring systems and discusses the design principles to be considered in selecting anchors or systems that will resist gravity loads and applied loads. This guide sets forth basic requirements for the design of stone anchorage and provides a...
