ASTM C1339 − 02 Reapproved 2012 Standard Test Method for Flowability and Bearing Area of Chemical-Resistant Polymer Machinery Grouts

ASTM C1339 − 02 Reapproved 2012 Standard Test Method for Flowability and Bearing Area of Chemical-Resistant Polymer Machinery Grouts

Scope
1.1 This test method covers the measure of flowability of chemical-resistant polymer machinery grouts as evaluated in a 2-in. (5-cm) or 1-in. (2.5-cm) pour thickness.

The test method provides for the assessment of upper surface plate contact area (bearing area).

These grouts will typically be two- or three component formulations that may be used for installations where grout thickness will range from 1 to 6 in. (2.5 to 15 cm) underneath the base or plates being grouted.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard.

The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

Significance and Use
5.1 Chemical-resistant polymer machinery grouts are used to provide precision support for machinery or equipment.

5.2 The machinery or equipment or support bases or plates, or combination thereof, are positioned to the precise elevation and location required.

The bases or plates are typically placed on prepared foundations and supported on temporary shims or support bolts (jack screws).
