Standard Test Methods for Physical Testing of Gypsum, Gypsum Plasters, and Gypsum Concrete
Also Known As:
The ASTM C472-20 standard provides guidelines for the physical testing of gypsum materials. The standard includes test methods for various properties such as free water, fineness, normal consistency, setting time, compressive strength, and density of gypsum, gypsum plasters, and gypsum concrete.
The standard begins with an introduction that outlines the coverage and sections of the test methods. It specifies the precautions to be taken during physical tests and the reagents and materials required for testing.
The following sections of the standard detail the specific test methods for each property. These sections specify the significance and use of each test method, the required apparatus, and the procedure to be followed.
The standard also clarifies that the values provided can be in either inch-pound units or SI (metric), with the values stated first considered as the standard. Any conversions between these units are provided for information purposes only and are not considered standard.
Lastly, the standard includes notes and footnotes that offer further explanations and clarifications, though they are not considered mandatory requirements of the standard.
