Pre-packaged, Nonshrink Grout Testing
Pre-packaged, Nonshrink Grout Testing
(OP)
We are supporting a project demanding strict quality. The client is proposing to use Non-shrink grout under base-plates and other structural components. We can not find an ASTM Standard that specifically addresses "Field" testing of the grout.
We have referenced the following ASTMs:
C 109
C 942 (manufacturer's recommendation)
C 1107
These touch and go on the subject of field sampling/testing, but very vague. We are in the process of writing a project/task-task specific procedure to encapsulate all requirements, and would appreciate helpful input.
Any suggestions/recommendations?

Even the common masonry mortar does not have field tests, but the proportions are determined by lab tests to meet the various types of mortar.
It is a site control requirement to be enforced by the specifier of the product/material.
