Mortar-Aggregate Ratio Sampling. Before going to jobsite: Add 250 mL isopropyl alcohol (91% preferred) to each of two mortar sample containers. Seal each and weigh, record to the nearest 1 g. At jobsite. Take mortar samples directly from mixer (batch sampling) Place 500 – 700 g of mortar in each container.

1.1 These test methods provide various testing procedures commonly used for evaluating characteristics of concrete masonry units and related concrete units. Methods are provided for sampling, measurement of dimensions, compressive strength, absorption, unit weight (density), moisture content, flexural load, and ballast weight.
Not all methods are applicable to all unit types, however. 1.2 Specific testing and reporting procedures are included in annexes to these test methods for the following specific unit types: Annex A1—Concrete masonry units (Specifications C90, C129) Annex A2—Concrete and calcium silicate brick (Specifications C55, C73, C1634) Annex A3—Segmental retaining wall units (Specification C1372 ...
