ASTM C1107-99

Standard Specification for Packaged Dry, Hydraulic-Cement Grout (Nonshrink)

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers three grades of packaged dry, hydraulic cement grout (nonshrink) intended for use under applied load (such as to support a structure, a machine, and the like) where a change in height below initial placement height is to be avoided.
1.2 Grouts covered are composed of hydraulic cement, fine aggregate, and other ingredients. They require only the addition of mixing water for use.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The inch-pound units in parenthesis are for information only. Values in SI units shall be obtained by measurement in SI units or by appropriate conversion of measurements made in other units, using the Rules of Conversion and Rounding given in IEEE/ASTM SI-10.
1.4 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test method portion 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.
