Scope
1.1 This test method covers the sampling, preparation of specimens, and determination of the absorption of architectural cast stone.
1.2 This test method describes two procedures: (1) cold water and (2) boiling water. The user of the test method should stipulate which is desired. If no stipulation is made, the cold water procedure will be used.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
