Standard Practice for Capping Concrete Masonry Units, Related Units and Masonry Prisms for Compression Testing

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This practice describes procedures for providing plane surfaces on the two bearing surfaces of units and prisms. The purpose of this standard is to provide consistent and standardized procedures for capping units and prisms for compression testing. The procedures are based on those contained (or previously contained) in Test Methods C140/C140M, Practice C617/C617M, and Test Method C1314.

Note 2: Specimens capped using this practice will vary significantly in size and weight. Appropriate care and handling may differ based on specimen size and weight. Provide care and handling as needed to provide for proper capping based on the physical characteristics of the specimen being capped.
