The ASTM C579-18 standard, titled "Standard Test Methods for Compressive Strength of Chemical-Resistant Mortars, Grouts, Monolithic Surfacings, and Polymer Concretes," provides guidelines and procedures for determining the compressive strength of various chemical-resistant cementitious materials.
This standard specifies the testing methods for assessing the load-bearing capacity of chemical-resistant mortars, grouts, monolithic surfacings, and polymer concretes. It outlines the sample preparation, curing conditions, and testing procedure to be followed.
Products associated with ASTM C579-18 include compression testing machines, which are used to apply compressive loads to the prepared specimens until failure. These machines provide accurate measurements of the maximum load that the material can withstand, allowing for the determination of compressive strength. Additionally, specialized molds and curing equipment may be required for sample preparation and curing.
By adhering to ASTM C579-18 and utilizing associated products, manufacturers, engineers, and testing laboratories can evaluate the compressive strength characteristics of chemical-resistant cementitious materials. This information is essential in designing and specifying materials for applications where resistance to chemicals and mechanical stresses is crucial, such as industrial flooring, chemical storage areas, and wastewater treatment facilities.
