EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ASTM C586 testing. This test method involves determining the expansion of a carbonate rock sample immersed in a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution at room temperature.
The length changes that occur during such immersion indicate the general reactivity level of the rock and whether tests need to be performed to determine the effect of the aggregate prepared from the rock on the volume change in the concrete.
Alkali, which participate in expansion reactions with aggregate components in concrete, are usually obtained from hydraulic cement; They can be obtained from other components of concrete or from external sources under certain conditions. Two types of alkaline reactivity of aggregates are known:
This test method is not suitable for detecting alkali-silica reaction.
Values specified in SI units will be considered standard. There is no other measurement unit in this standard.
This standard does not purport to address all safety issues, if any, 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 limitations prior to use.
