ASTM C642

Density, Absorption, and Voids in Hardened Concrete

Applicability: ASTM C642 is a standard test method specifically applicable to hardened concrete. The standard is used for determining the density, water absorption, and volume of permeable voids within the concrete. The results of this test are applicable in several areas of construction and material science.

Purpose: The purpose of ASTM C642 is to provide a standard test method for determining the density, percent absorption, and percent voids in a sample of hardened concrete. These properties are crucial for evaluating the quality and durability of concrete.
