This protocol covers the test method for determining the air-void content and parameters of the air-void system in hardened concrete using the linear traverse (Procedure A) method. This protocol is based on ASTM C457-98 (Microscopical Determination of Parameters of the Air-Void System in Hardened Concrete). The test shall be performed in accordance with this standard (ASTM C457-98), as modified herein. Those sections of the ASTM standard included in this protocol by reference and without modification shall be strictly followed. All other sections of this protocol shall be followed as written herein.
1.1 Only the linear traverse method shall be used.
