ASTM C1404/C1404M-98 (R2003) PDF Download

The ASTM C1404/C1404M-98 (R2003) standard is a test method that is used to determine the bond strength of adhesive systems that are used to attach freshly mixed mortar to hardened portland-cement concrete. The test is conducted in a laboratory setting and provides a standardized way to measure the effectiveness of adhesive systems in creating a strong bond between the mortar and concrete surfaces.

The standard emphasizes the importance of using either the SI unit or other units and not combining their values. This ensures that the results obtained from this test can be interpreted consistently, regardless of the system of measurement used. This standardized approach facilitates easy comparison of bond strength results across different adhesive systems and ensures that reliable data is obtained.
