Foreword

This Part of this British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Civil Engineering and Building Structures Standards Committee. This Part describes a method for measurement of compressive strength and is one of a series of Parts describing methods for measuring basic physical properties of resin based materials.

This Part of this British Standard should be read in conjunction with BS 6319‑1 which provides general information and describes a method for preparing test specimens.

A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.

Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. In particular, attention is drawn to the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

1 Scope

This Part of BS 6319 describes the procedure for the measurement of the compressive strength of specimens of resin based mortars and concretes in the form of cubes.

This method is not applicable to unfilled systems.

NOTE 1 The procedure described in BS 2782: Method 345A is suitable for unfilled systems.

NOTE 2 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
