ASTM RR:D01-1188 PDF Download

ASTM RR:D01-1188 is a standard that defines the test methods for determining the compressive strength of chemical-resistant mortars, grouts, monolithic surfacings, and polymer concretes. The standard is specifically designed for these materials that are used in industrial environments where resistance to chemicals is required.

The standard, also known as C0579, provides guidance on the procedures and equipment required to carry out the compressive strength test. It also includes details on sample preparation, curing conditions, and the calculation of results. The aim of the standard is to ensure consistent and accurate measurement of the compressive strength of these materials, which is an important property for assessing their durability and suitability for use in chemical environments.

To establish the precision statement for the test methods specified in this standard, an interlaboratory study known as Study 1418 was conducted. This study involved multiple laboratories performing the compressive strength test on samples of chemical-resistant mortars, grouts, monolithic surfacings, and polymer concretes. The results of the study were used to determine the repeatability and reproducibility of the test methods, providing information on the precision of the measurements.
