Standard Test Method for Abrasion Resistance of Concrete by Sandblasting
Also Known As:
The ASTM C418-20 standard provides a test method for evaluating the abrasion resistance of concrete surfaces using sandblasting. The test simulates the effects of waterborne abrasives and traffic on concrete surfaces by subjecting them to the impingement of air-driven silica sand. The purpose of this test is to determine the relative resistance of concrete surfaces to abrasion and provide a basis for informed judgment.
It is important to note that the standard highlights the potential safety hazards associated with the use of silica as a blasting media. Users are advised to consult the manufacturer's MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) to ensure that the recommended health and safety practices are followed.
Additionally, the standard mentions that there are alternative procedures available for measuring the abrasion resistance of concrete surfaces, such as Test Methods C779/C779M, C944/C944M, and C1138M. It is suggested to consider these other methods and choose the one that closely represents the actual service conditions.
