(Specification)Standard Specification for Architectural Cast Stone
Standard Specification for Architectural Cast Stone
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the physical requirements, sampling, testing, and visual inspection of architectural cast stone.
1.2 Units covered by this specification may be made from facing and backup mixtures or from a homogeneous mixture. Either wet cast or dry cast production methods may be used.
1.3 Surface textures, finish, color, or other special features should be specified separately by the purchaser.
1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
