Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Lightweight Insulating Concrete
Also Known As:
ASTM C495/C495M-12 (R2019) is a standard test method that provides guidelines for sampling, molding, curing, and testing lightweight insulating concretes to determine their compressive strength and density compliance. This test method specifically applies to lightweight insulating concrete with an oven-dry density not exceeding 800 kg/m³ [50 lb/ft³] as determined by the procedures outlined in the standard.
The standard focuses on the preparation and testing of molded 75 by 150-mm [3 by 6-in.] cylinders to evaluate the compressive strength of lightweight insulating concrete. It establishes standardized requirements for the entire testing process, ensuring consistent and reliable results. Compliance with the specified compressive strength and density specifications is crucial for the effective use of lightweight insulating concrete in construction applications.
