Concrete Test Products
Approved by MMSA (Material and Methods Standards Association) for any ASTM, ANSI or ISO Standards. Used for multiple standards such as ISO 13007-2 Test Method for Adhesives, ASTM C1857/C1857M-19 Standard Test Method for Tensile Strength of Concrete Surfaces and Bond Strength or Tensile of Concrete Repair and Overlay Materials by direct Tension (Pull-off Method), ANSI A137.2 and many other Standard Test Methods.
Standard Concrete Test Substrates
TACM’s Test blocks are available in three standard finishes: Smooth (to represent typical concrete slabs), Light Texture to represent a texture between an acid etched slab and ground slab and Medium Texture to represent the texture of a lightly shot-blasted concrete slab. They are currently available in two standard sizes, 16" x 16" x 1.5" and 4" x 4" x 1.5".
The standard concrete design mix for this product produces compressive strength of approximately 7,700psi and 400 tensile psi. Test Blocks with other concrete strengths are available upon special request on a custom order basis (see Custom Products Section).
TACM will cut any of the above 16” x 16” x 1.5” test substrates into different sizes for various test applications. Some of the most popular custom sizes are nominal:
9" x 9" x 1.5", 8" x 8" 1.5", 3" x 12" x 1.5", 4" x 4" x 1.5"
In addition to the standard finished TACM's Concrete Test Blocks are available for purchase in a multitude of concrete surface profiles. Some of these are chemically acid etched (and neutralized); mechanically ground; light, medium and heavy shot-blast; light, medium and heavy scarification, light, medium and heavy shot blast; light, medium, and heavy scarification, retarder etching in light medium and profiles; water abrasion in light medium and heavy profiles; and several sandblasted profiles. These Test Blocks are mechanically or chemically processed by recommended surface prep industry guidelines, and are examples of how surface prep should look and feel in the construction field.
There is a minimum order requirement on all custom orders. Please contact TACM at 1-800-773-9363 or fill out a contact form on our About/Contact section.
