ASTM C1107
Full Name
ASTM C1107 – Standard Specification for Packaged Dry, Hydraulic-Cement Grout (Nonshrink)
Scope
ASTM C1107 covers packaged dry, hydraulic-cement grout (nonshrink) designed for use under applied load where a change in height below initial placement height is to be avoided. This type of grout is commonly used to support structures or machines where maintaining a consistent height is crucial.
The scope of ASTM C1107 encompasses the following key points:
- Material composition: the specification covers grouts composed of hydraulic cement, fine aggregate, and other ingredients. These grouts are typically sold in packaged dry form and require only the addition of water for use.
- Intended use: the grouts are specifically intended for applications where a change in height after placement would be detrimental, such as supporting structural elements or machinery.
- Performance requirements: the standard outlines performance requirements for the grout, including specific tests for flow, compressive strength, and shrinkage. The grout must meet specified criteria for each of these properties to ensure its suitability for the intended use.
- Test methods: the standard provides detailed procedures for testing the grout’s properties, including flow, compressive strength, and shrinkage. These test methods ensure that the grout meets the required performance standards.
- Packaging and labeling: the standard also addresses requirements for packaging and labeling the grout. Proper labeling ensures that users have accurate information about the grout’s composition, properties, and proper mixing and application procedures.
It’s important to note that ASTM C1107 does not cover all possible conditions of use. Users should consult with manufacturers for specific applications to determine the applicability of test results.
