압축강도측정 EN 826 / ASTM C 39

EN 826과 ASTM C 39은 압축강도를 측정하는 시험방법이지만 세부내용은 다르다. 

EN 826의 설명을 보면 다음과 같다.

[EN 826 인용]

 

즉, 위 실험은 단열재(insulation products)에 대한 실험이다.

반면, ASTM C 39은 비중이  800kg/m^3 이상의 콘크리트에 대해 압축강도를 측정하는 것이다. 

[ASTM C 39 인용] 

1.1 This test method covers determination of compressive strength of cylindrical concrete specimens such as molded cylinders and drilled cores. It is limited to concrete having a density in excess of 800 kg/m3 [50 lb/ft3].

1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The inch-pound units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. (Warning—Means should be provided to contain concrete fragments during sudden rupture of specimens. Tendency for sudden rupture increases with increasing concrete strength and it is more likely when the testing machine is relatively flexible. The safety precautions given in the Manual of Aggregate and Concrete Testing are recommended.)

1.4 The text of this standard references notes which provide explanatory material. These notes shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.

시험방법

결론. 같은 압축강도를 측정하는 시험이라도 규격의 성격, 규격이 정하는 재료, 시험 방법 등은 다를 수 있다.
