1、Designation:C132415Standard Test Method forExamination and Analysis of Hardened Masonry Mortar1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1324;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A numb
2、er in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This test method covers procedures for petrographicexamination and chemical analysis of samples of masonrymortars.Based upon such examination
3、and analysis,propor-tions of components in masonry mortars can be determined.NOTE1This method is also applicable to hydraulic cement-basedstucco and plaster.Some historic mortars may contain non-resolvableconstituents that may interfere.However,significant information may beobtained by petrographic
