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.
