ASTM C90 Standard Specification for Load-bearing Concrete Masonry Units

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM C90 standard. This specification covers hollow and solid concrete masonry units made from hydraulic cement, water and mineral aggregates, with or without other materials.

ASTM C90 Standard Specification for Load-bearing Concrete Masonry Units

Concrete masonry units covered by this specification are made from light or normal weight aggregates or both.

The requirements of this specification have been researched, evaluated and established for over a century, resulting in the physical properties and attributes described here. These requirements apply uniquely and only to concrete masonry units manufactured on equipment using low or no slump concrete and the component materials described herein.

Many performance characteristics of concrete masonry units are implicitly included or naturally reflected in the requirements of this specification without direct measurement, evaluation or evaluation. The requirements of this specification may not address all relevant physical properties required to ensure the performance or serviceability of the structure occurring in real-world applications under typical exposure environments, such as appearance, use, coverage, or nature.

Products manufactured using alternative materials, manufacturing methods or curing processes not covered by this specification should not be evaluated using the requirements in this specification alone; however, new product developers may consider the feature requirements of this specification as a starting metric for unit performance.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
