ASTM C1542/C1542M-19 PDF Download

The ASTM C1542/C1542M-19 standard provides two procedures for determining the length of a core obtained using Test Method C42/C42M or Test Method C1604/C1604M. The length measurement of the core is used for various applications, including condition surveys, density and voids analysis.

It is important to note that the length measurement in this standard does not include adhered particles that are not part of the concrete mixture. Another test method, Test Method C174/C174M, is also available for measuring the length of concrete cores, but it uses a different measuring apparatus and procedure.

The purpose of ASTM C1542/C1542M-19 is to accurately determine the length of concrete cores drilled from concrete. It is essential to refer to the notes and footnotes provided in the standard as they offer explanatory material, but they should not be considered as requirements of the standard.
