Astm Standard: Detail Procedure

This document outlines the ASTM standard procedure for measuring the length of concrete cores. It describes using either a jaw caliper or ruler to measure the length at four angles around the core. The measurements are recorded and averaged to determine the mean length using each tool. The length measurements are used for applications like density analysis, cement content analysis, and structural condition surveys.

DETAIL PROCEDURE
EXPERIMENT
MEASURING LENGTH OF
CONCRETE CORES
DESIGNATION

C 1542/C 1542M – 02
SCOPE

This test method covers


“MEASUREMENT OF CONCRETE CORES DRILLED
OUT FROM CONCRETE STRUCTURE IN ORDER
TO MEASURE DIMENSIONAL TOLERANCES”
SIGNIFICANCE & USE
PROVIDE TWO PROCEDURES FOR DETERMINING LENGTH OF CORES
FURTHER THIS LENGTH IS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH
1. Length to diameter relationship
2. Density and Void analysis
3. Cement Content Analysis
4. Condition Surveys
and other applications.
APPARATUS
JAW CALLIPER [Accuracy to 0.03mm(0.001in)]
APPARATUS
RULER [Accuracy up to 1mm(0.1in)]
PROCEDURE
Using JAW CALIPER
Place the open jaws of the caliper midpoint between
the center and edge of the specimen.
Measure and record the value nearest to
0.25mm(0.01in).
Rotate the specimen 90°, 180°, and 270° and repeat
it.
PROCEDURE
Using RULER
Hold core with finished surface placed down
against level surface.
Place ruler on Flat surface along side core and
measure length nearest to 1mm(0.1in)
Rotate at 90°, 180°, and 270° & repeat
measurements.

PRECAUTIONS
Make sure the instrument is clean and make sure it
works.
Check for zero error & apply corrections.
Check for Parallax error (error due to wrong
positioning of eye).
Observe reading correctly and report it to nearest to
1mm.
REMARKS

The length of concrete cores approximately ranges


from 64 to 117mm (2.5 to 4.6 in)
