Hydraulic ASTM Cement Standards

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 specification pertains to blended hydraulic cements for both general and special applications, using slag, pozzolan, limestone, or some combination of these, with portland cement or portland cement clinker or slag with lime. NOTE 1-This specification prescribes...

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...

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 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...

These test methods provide a means of determining the effect of adding polymer modifiers to reference concrete or mortar. Most sections of ASTM test methods and practices for hydraulic cement mortar and concrete apply to the preparation and testing of specimens made with...

This test method covers the determination of the pack-set index, which provides an indication of the mechanical force needed to overcome the consolidation of portland and blended hydraulic cements. The pack-set index number provides a numerical value useful for manufacturers who...

This test method covers the determination of early stiffening in hydraulic-cement paste. 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 address all of the safety concerns, if...

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...

These test methods are appropriate to evaluate the performance of self-leveling mortars containing hydraulic cements that are used to improve the levelness, smoothness, and flatness of existing floors. These materials may be used as an underlayment to receive floor finishes, or as an...
