SPEC MIX SAMPLING & TESTING OF MASONRY MORTARS & GROUTS MANUAL - SECOND EDITION

The practices and discipline of testing masonry mortar and grout are not the same as concrete, although the latter methods are often erroneously applied on masonry project sites. Over its 20 plus years of existence, the SPEC MIX® organization has addressed the issue of invalid field testing time and again to assist masonry contractors from coast to coast. As a result, SPEC MIX Inc. is now offering the 2nd edition of its detailed manual entitled, "SPEC MIX Field Sampling & Testing of Masonry Mortars & Grouts." The manual is an inexpensive way to learn the differences of each test and the correct procedures to avoid unnecessary project delays, decreased job site production and preventable added costs. It’s a great reference.

After releasing the 1st edition of this masonry resource in 2007, SPEC MIX Inc completely revised the testing manual near the end of 2008 to include all methods for field testing mortars and grouts. Created specifically for mason contractors, engineers, architects, market representatives, masonry students and above all testing agencies, the objective of the 2nd edition manual is to help eliminate improper field testing techniques and test report misinterpretations applied to masonry materials and wall systems. This 45-page comprehensive resource features simple to understand procedures supported by step-by-step directions and pictures making it easy to educate your team. Included are detailed procedures for casting mortar cubes and cylinders in the field according to ASTM C 780, casting masonry prisms per ASTM C 1314, and casting masonry grout specimens per ASTM C 1019 for field and lab testing.
