ASTM C746-90 (R2014) PDF Download

ASTM C746-90 (R2014) is a standard specification that outlines the types, physical properties, and dimensions of corrugated asbestos-cement sheets for bulkheading. The sheets are specifically designed to be used as sheet piling for erosion control along freshwater lake shores and inland waterways, regardless of whether the water is fresh or saltwater.

It is important to note that the standard includes a warning regarding the hazards associated with asbestos. Breathing in asbestos dust is known to be hazardous and can pose health risks to both users and those who come into contact with the material. The standard emphasizes the need to minimize dust generation when working with asbestos-cement products.

In order to ensure the safe use of chrysotile asbestos, the standard recommends referring to the "Safe Use of Chrysotile: A Manual on Preventive and Control Measures" for comprehensive information on preventive and control measures. These precautions are necessary to protect individuals from the potential health risks associated with working with asbestos-containing materials.
