(Specification)Standard Specification for Gypsum Veneer Plaster
Standard Specification for Gypsum Veneer Plaster
ABSTRACT
This specification covers calcined gypsum mixed at the mill with other ingredients to control working quality and setting time; specifically designed as a veneer plaster to be applied over gypsum base for veneer plasters, masonry or concrete surfaces, providing a surface ready for decoration. In addition, this specification covers test methods for determining the physical properties of gypsum veneer plasters. Veneer plasters shall be tested and shall conform to specified values of joint strength, bond strength, impact strength, and flexure.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers calcined gypsum mixed at the mill with other ingredients to control working quality and setting time; specifically designed as a veneer plaster to be applied over gypsum base for veneer plasters, masonry or concrete surfaces to a maximum thickness of ¼ in. (6.4 mm) providing a surface ready for decoration.
Note 1—Specification C843 contains application procedures for gypsum veneer plaster.
1.2 This specification covers test methods for determining the physical properties of gypsum veneer plasters and sets forth minimum requirements that must be met.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.
1.5 The following safety hazards caveat applies only to the Test Methods portion, Section 5 of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

4.4 Flexure—Gypsum veneer plaster systems shall exhibit crack resistance within the field of the gypsum base for veneer
plasters such that radial or random cracking shall extend not more than ⁄2 in. (13 mm) from the break line at failure when tested
in accordance with 5.8. At rupture of the panel the veneer plaster shall be securely bonded to the face paper.
5. Test Methods
5.1 Materials—Gypsum Base for Veneer Plaster, see Specification C1396/C1396M.
5.2 Sampling—Sample not less than 1 % of the packages, but not less than 5 packages. Select packages to be sampled at
random. Take samples both from the outer portion and the center of each package. Thoroughly mix the materials so obtained to
provide a composite sample of not less than 15 lb (6.8 kg). Place this composite sample immediately in a clean, dry, airtight
container for delivery to the laboratory.
5.3 Test Unit Preparation—From the sample, prepare panels of veneer plaster system and cut four 2 ft (600 mm) square, and
three 12 by 16 in. (300 by 400 mm) specimens.
5.4 Conditioning—Condition specimens to constant weight at a temperature of 85 6 15 °F (29.5 6 8.5 °C) and relative
humidity of 50 6 2 % (see Note 2). Test specimens individually after constant weight is reached.
NOTE 2—Laboratory test results indicate that conditioning temperatures may range from 70 to 100 °F (21 to 38 °C) without significantly affecting the
results. However, relative humidity is critical. Therefore, specimens shall be tested within 10 min upon removal from the conditioning chamber.
5.5 Number of Tests—Run each test in triplicate.
5.6 Bond Strength:
5.6.1 Significance and Use—The bond strength test is designed to evaluate the bond of veneer plaster to veneer plaster base and
between the base coat and finish coat. The degree of correlation between these test methods and service performance has not been
determined.
5.6.2 Procedure—Select three 2 ft (600 mm) square specimens. Raise each specimen and slam the back side (face not treated
with veneer plaster) on a bare concrete floor repeatedly until the specimen is broken.
