1. Scope

1.1 This guide lists ASTM standards available for the testing evaluation of fabrics used to form fine aggregate concrete.

1.2 This guide identifies the test methods available to manufacturers, engineers, testing organizations and other related parties.

1.3 This guide provides a list of test methods that can be used by the reader to determine the properties of fabric used to form fine aggregate concrete.

1.4 This guide is not intended to be used in the establishment of performance criteria, but as a guide for product development and purchasing contracts.

1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, 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.

1.6 This guide offers an organized collection of information or a series of options and does not recommend a specific course of action. This document cannot replace education or experience and should be used in conjunction with professional judgement. Not all aspects of this guide may be applicable in all circumstances. This ASTM standard is not intended to represent or replace the standard of care of which the adequacy of a given professional service must be judged, nor should this document be applied without consideration of a project's many unique aspects. The word 'Standard' in the title of this document means only that the document has been approved through the ASTM consensus process.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
