Standard Practice for Capping Cylindrical Concrete Specimens
Also Known As:
The ASTM C617/C617M-15 standard provides guidelines for achieving plane surfaces on the ends of freshly molded concrete cylinders, as well as hardened cylinders or drilled concrete cores, when their end surfaces do not meet the requirements of planeness and perpendicularity set by applicable standards. The standard includes procedures for capping using neat cement, high-strength gypsum paste, or sulfur mortar, depending on the type of specimen.
The standard emphasizes the importance of achieving planeness and perpendicularity in concrete specimens, as these properties can affect the accuracy and reliability of test results. The standard also references Practice C1231/C1231M, which outlines alternative procedures using unbonded caps or pad caps for capping concrete specimens.
