ASTM C1152/C1152M-97

Standard Test Method for Acid-Soluble Chloride in Mortar and Concrete

SCOPE
1.1 This test method  provides procedures for the sampling and analysis of hydraulic-cement mortar or concrete for chloride that is acid soluble under the conditions of test. In most cases, acid-soluble chloride is equivalent to total chloride.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address the safety problems 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.  
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard in those cases where such values are given, except for sieve sizes.
