New Standard Proposed for Liquid-Applied Polymers

ASTM is proposing a new set of test methods that will help support the growing number of roofing projects that use liquid-applied polymers.

True or false: If coatings were removed before abrading a concrete floor slab to conduct the ASTM anhydrous calcium chloride test, four hours must elapse between grinding and conducting the test.

In addition to having a standard on determining the degree of rusting, ASTM also has what other standard for conducting condition surveys?

Which is the ideal test method (ASTM/ ISO) to test the flexibility of a lining product (organic coating) to be applied on concrete storage tanks to store brine water?

In reviewing the testing data for adhesion, some manufacturers indicate ASTM D4541 results while others show ASTM C3359 results. Is it possible to compare one against the other? For example, does 1037 psi provide better adhesion than 4A?
