New Standard from Last Update.

1. Scope

This standard (Part 5/Section 1) specifies non-destructive test methods for use on hardened concrete. This standard covers the principles, apparatus and test procedures of ultrasonic pulse velocity testing. In addition, influence of test conditions and some general guidance on the interpretation of test results are also given.

NOTE - In view of the limitations of each method of nondestructive testing of concrete, it is essential that the results of tests obtained by one method shall be complimented by other tests and each method shall be adopted very carefully.
