5. Air Content Test by the Pressure Method (ASTM C231):
• Determines the air content of freshly mixed concrete using a pressure meter.
6. Air Content Test by the Volumetric Method (ASTM C173):
• Measures the air content in fresh concrete using the volumetric method.

• Calculates the density (unit weight), yield, and air content of concrete.
8. Concrete Temperature Test (ASTM C1064):
• Measures the temperature of freshly mixed concrete.
9. Concrete Core Testing (ASTM C42):
• Extracts and tests cores from hardened concrete for compressive strength.

• Measures the velocity of an ultrasonic pulse passing through concrete to assess its
quality.
15. Pullout Test (ASTM C900):
• Measures the force required to pull an embedded metal insert from concrete.

• There is no specific ASTM standard, but various methods are used to assess the depth
of carbonation in concrete.
17. Abrasion Resistance Test (ASTM C944):
• Measures the surface wear resistance of concrete.
18. Water Absorption Test (ASTM C642):
• Measures the absorption of water by concrete specimens.
19. Soundness Test (ASTM C666):
• Evaluates the resistance of concrete to freezing and thawing cycles.
