(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Sampling and Testing Grout
Standard Test Method for Sampling and Testing Grout
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers procedures for both field and laboratory sampling and compression testing of grout used in masonry construction.
Note 1—The testing agency performing this test method should be evaluated in accordance with Practice C1093.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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.

NOTE 6—Other methods of obtaining grout specimens and specimens
of different geometry have been employed in grout testing, but are not
described in this test method. Other methods used to obtain grout
specimens include: drilling grout-filled cores of regular units; filling cores
of masonry units specifically manufactured to provide grout specimens;
filling compartments in slotted corrugated cardboard boxes specifically
manufactured to provide grout specimens; and forming specimens from
different sized masonry units of the same or similar material.
