A linear shrinkage mold in accordance with ASTM C1260, ASTM C1567, and ASTM C22 is used to measure the dimensional changes of cement or concrete samples during hydration and curing.
These standards are related to evaluating the potential for alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in concrete (ASTM C1260) and assessing the effects of chemical reactions, including those involving sulfate attack (ASTM C1567). ASTM C22 refers to standard test methods for determining the linear shrinkage of cement paste and mortars.
The molds ensure consistent and standardized testing to evaluate material durability and shrinkage behavior.
