1.1. This method covers obtaining, preparing, and testing (1) cores drilled from concrete for length or
compressive or splitting tensile strength determinations; and (2) beams sawed from concrete for
flexural strength determinations.
1.2. The values stated in SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as the standard.
Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are
not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining
values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.
1.3. This standard does not purport to address safety concerns associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and
determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
