ASTM C936

ASTM C936 is a standardized test method that specifies the requirements for preformed, load-bearing, decorative concrete masonry units (such as colored or textured blocks). It ensures these units meet quality standards for appearance, durability, and structural capacity. The standard covers aspects like materials, manufacturing, dimensions, and testing procedures to verify that the decorative blocks are strong, weather-resistant, and suitable for architectural purposes. Essentially, ASTM C936 helps manufacturers produce reliable decorative concrete blocks that meet consistent quality and performance expectations for building projects.
