In The Lab
Our lab is staffed with qualified scientists utilizing the latest technology and instrumentation. We offer XRD, XRF, IC, FT-IR, Sieve, Porosity / Permeability, SEM, and Concrete Petrography among many others protocols.
ASTM C856
ASTM C856 — Standard Practice for Petrographic Examination of Hardened Concrete — assess the mix design, pore system, aggregates, surface profile, and cohesive integrity of hardened concrete. This method is also necessary to diagnosis deleterious conditions such as ASR, NSAR, and ACR.
