C1019-03Standard Test Method forSampling and Testing Grout1 Note 1 – The testing agency performing this test method should be evaluated in accordance with Practice C1093.
C1019-03Standard Test Method forSampling and Testing Grout1 Note 3 – Nonabsorbent blocks may be of plastic, wood, or other nonabsorbent material. Certain species of wood contain sugars which retardation of cement. In order to prevent this from occurring, new wooden blocks shall be soaked in limewater for 24 h, sealed with varnish or wax, or covered with an impermeable material prior to use.
C1019-03Standard Test Method forSampling and Testing Grout1 5. Test Specimens 5.1 Each grout specimen shall have a square cross-section, 3 in. or larger on the sides and twice as high as its width. Dimensional tolerances shall be within 5% of the width selected.
C1019-03Standard Test Method forSampling and Testing Grout1 6. Mold Construction 6.1 Select a level location where the molds remain undisturbed for 48 h. Note 5 – The location of specimen construction should be protected and as free from perceptible vibration as possible.

C1019-03Standard Test Method forSampling and Testing Grout1 Note 6 – Other methods of obtaining grout specimens and specimens of different geometry have been employed in grout testing, but are not described in this test method. Other methods used to obtain grout specimens include: drilling grout-filled cores of regular units; filling cores of masonry units specifically manufactured to provide grout specimens; filling compartments in slotted corrugated cardboard boxes specifically manufactured to provide grout specimens; and forming specimens from different sized masonry units of the same or similar material…
C1019-03Standard Test Method forSampling and Testing Grout1 …Since test results vary with methods of forming and specimen geometry, comparative test results between the specimen described in this test method and the proposed specimen should be required and confined to a single specimen shape and method of forming.
C1019-03Standard Test Method forSampling and Testing Grout1 6.4 Line the masonry surfaces that will be in contact with the grout specimen with a thin, permeable material to prevent bond to the masonry units. Note 7 – The lining, such as paper towel, is used to aid in stripping the grout specimen from the mold. Proper installation of the lining prevents irregularly sized specimens and varying test results.

Rod each layer 15 times with the tamping rod. Rod the bottom layer through its depth. Slightly overfill the mold. Rod the second layer with the tamping rod penetrating ½ in. into the lower layer. Distribute the strokes uniformly over the cross section of the mold.
C1019-03Standard Test Method forSampling and Testing Grout1 9.3 Strike off the top surface of the specimen with a straightedge to produce a flat surface that is even with the top edge of the mold and that has no depressions or projections larger than 1/8 in. Cover immediately with a damp absorbent material such as cloth or paper towel.
C1019-03Standard Test Method forSampling and Testing Grout1 9.4 Within 30 min after filling the mold, add sufficient grout without rodding to fill the depression caused by initial water loss… 9.5 Protect the specimens from freezing and variations in temperature…
