ASTM C 579 Standard Test Methods for Compressive Strength of Chemical-Resistant Mortars, Grouts, Monolithic Surfacings and Polymer ConcreteLab ID 660

Use
This test method covers the determination of compressive strength of chemical resistant mortars, grouts, monolithic surfacing and polymer concretes. Test method A is for systems using less than 0.0625 in or 1.6 mm in size aggregate. Test Method B is for systems containing aggregate from 0.0625 to 0.4 in in size. Test Method C is for systems containing aggregate larger than 0.4 inches in size.

Instructions
Provided six 2-inch cubes for each test for Method B. Provide six 1 inch diameter x 1-inch in height cylinders for slurry products for Method A.

Results Produced
Compressive strength

Time for Results
If CTLGroup is fabricating the samples, 5 to 7 working days to fabricate and then depending on the material, 24 hours to 7 days for testing
