AMR
Labs is dedicated to matching mortar.
This is why we offer various
forms of matching mortar including
mortar analysis,
mortar testing, sand
analysis, mortar composition testing, cement mortar compressive strength
testing, and custom
mortar color matching.
Test of Cement Mortar Strength - astm c109
The most commonly used and accepted mortar strength test for determining the compressive strength of mortar is the astm c109 compressive strength test of cement. The astm c109 test method is used for testing old mortar and for testing new mortar materials as in its use in the astm c270 specifications.
ASTM c109 Test of Cement Mortar Strength
ASTM C109
The
astm c109 test method
for testing cement mortars to determine their crushing pressure is a
simple compressive strength test of cement, and the specifications
of this test are more about the cement testing equipment than the
testing of compression. It specifies a suitable design of machine
for testing mortar strength, and suitable dimensions of the mortar
sample. As I recall, it requires a sample that is 2 inches on one
side. This is often difficult for testing old/historic mortar
samples, and bedding mortar that is deteriorated and crumbling.
While our
mortar testing equipment meets this standard, your mortar
samples may not when testing existing mortar, and we can still test
these mortars with the best accuracy possible.
Cost of Cement Mortar Compressive Strength Test - astm c109
Cost of cement mortar compressive
strength test - astm c109
The cost of testing mortar compressive strength is
$150 per sample.
Mortar Composition Analysis
If you are needing more information about your existing mortar composition, you may want to order our mortar analysis. This is an analysis of the mortar composition formula/ratio and includes an analysis of the mortar compressive strength.
You can send samples of hardened mortar for testing to us at the following address.
