ASTM C1601-22 PDF Download

The ASTM C1601-22 standard is a test method that is used to determine the water penetration of a masonry wall surface in field conditions. The test is conducted under specific conditions of water flow rate and air pressure to simulate real-world scenarios. This test method can be applied to any masonry wall surface that can be appropriately instrumented and tested according to the requirements of the standard.

It is important to note that this test method is different from laboratory standard Test Method E514/E514M, as it specifically measures only surface water penetration rather than through-wall water penetration. Therefore, the results obtained from this field test method may not be identical to those obtained from the laboratory test method.
