In this specification, the term whole tilesshall be understood to mean tiles meeting the appearancerequirements of this specific

19、ation.5.5 After tiles are placed in usage, the manufacturer or hisagent shall not be held responsible for compliance of tiles withthe requirements of this specification for dimensional toler-ances, finish, texture, or color.6. Performance Requirements6.1 DurabilityThe tiles shall conform to the phys

20、icalrequirements for the Grade specified as prescribed in Table 2.Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, tiles of a higherGrade (greater weathering index) shall be accepted instead ofa lower Grade. The saturation coefficient requirement does notapply when the average cold water absorption of a

21、 randomsample of five tiles does not exceed 6 %, no more than one tileof the sample exceeds 6 % and its cold water absorption is lessthan 8 %. When Grade 3 tiles are used in regions where theweathering index is less than 50 (see Annex A1), unlessotherwise specified, the requirements for water absorp

22、tion andfor saturation coefficient shall not apply.NOTE 2Frost is of profound importance in mechanical weatheringwhere its effectiveness is dependent on the frequency of temperaturefluctuation across the freezing point in the presence of water. The abilityof a tile to resist failure in a wet and fre

23、ezing environment is, therefore, ofparamount importance. If a tile fails in such an environment, its use willresult in an unacceptable deterioration of appearance or more likely, a totalfailure to function (that is, protect the underlying structure from rain), orboth. Such a tile is completely unacc

24、eptable for use regardless of its otherproperties such as strength.NOTE 3The resistance of clay roof tiles to weathering cannot bepredicted with complete assurance using any of the physical testsprescribed. However, practical experience has demonstrated satisfactoryperformance of clay roof tiles, so

25、me for hundreds of years, and thisexperience forms the basis of the prescriptive requirements of Table 2.There is generally excellent correlation between field performance and therequirements. However, it is possible that some tiles that meet thisspecification are not suitable for severe climates. F

26、urthermore, it is alsopossible for other tiles that do not meet this specification to showacceptable serviceability in the most severe climates. The best indicationof clay roof tile durability is the service record of experience with thespecified product in the environment of its intended use.6.1.1

27、Measure the water absorption, and calculate the satu-ration coefficient, in accordance with Test Methods C 67. Thetest sample shall consist of five whole tiles.6.1.2 The physical requirements in Table 2 shall be achievedas a result of the firing process and associated thermal reactionswithin the til

28、e body (and glaze, if present) which includedevelopment of the fired bond, increase in density, increase instrength, and reduction in water absorption. Tiles shall notcomply with this specification if other processes, for example,immersion in solutions of organic materials to effect impreg-nation or

29、 surface sealing, are used to change the physicalproperties which result from the firing process. It is notprohibited to test tiles in accordance with this Specificationafter the impregnation and sealing materials are removed asprescribed in Test Methods C 67.6.2 Freezing and ThawingThe requirements

30、 specified in6.1 for water absorption (5-h boiling) and saturation coefficientshall not apply for all Grades provided that a sample of fivetiles, meeting all of the other requirements, experiences nobreakage, no crack development that exceeds the minimumdimension of the specimen, and not greater tha

The freezing traysand containers shall be of sufficie

32、nt size and depth to allow thetiles to be completely submerged in water when placedhorizontally. The tiles shall be completely submerged in waterwhen the trays are placed in the freezing chamber. It is notprohibited to test individual tile or to stack tile on top of eachother in the tray, provided t

33、hat spacers at least14 in. (6 mm)thick are used between adjacent tiles and that the total stack iscompletely submerged.NOTE 4A large capacity freezer is generally necessary to accomplishfreezing in the manner specified in Test Methods C 67 for trays containingmore than one tile. It is not prohibited

34、 to use custom trays to enclose thetile(s) and minimize the volume of water required to completely submergethe tile(s).6.2.2 A lot of tiles shall be given the Grade 1 rating withoutrepeating a freezing and thawing test provided that a previouslot made by the supplier from similar materials, by the s

35、ameprocess, at the same production plant, and within the previous12 months, had passed the test, and provided also that a sampleof five tiles selected from the lot has an average and individualminimum transverse strength not less than the previouslyTABLE 1 Grade Classification for Clay Roof TilesGra

The choice of meth

41、od, wet or dry,shall be mutually agreed upon between specifier and supplier.6.3.2 The span chosen for the test shall be 12 in. (30.5 cm)6 5%or23 of the length of the tile, whichever is greater. Thespan is measured between the centers of the lower supportmembers (6.3.3 and Fig. 1).6.3.2.1 It is not p

42、rohibited to use a shorter span thanrequired by 6.3.2 when the length of the tile to be tested is notsufficient to allow a 12 in. (30.5 cm) span to be used. In thatcase, a shorter span, not less than two-thirds of the length of thetile, shall be used and the required minimum values in Table 3shall b

44、d) surface of the tile by a third membermoving in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the tile andat mid-span (that is, equidistant from each of the lower supportmembers).6.3.4 The two support members and the loading membershall be of metal or hardwood with 1 in. (25 mm) 6 5 % widefaces. The f

45、aces shall be shaped (see Note 6) to closelyconform to the profile of the surface of the tile upon which theybear during the test (it is prohibited to use different profiles foreach member depending on the profile and cross-sectionalshape of the tile). The total height of the members shall not bemor

46、e than 1 in. (25 mm) greater than the rise of the tile profileand, if hardwood, they shall be backed up with steel bearingplates at least12 in. (13 mm) thick.

A schematic of theassembly for testing a typical “ S” tile is shown in Fig. 1.NOTE 6The intent of the defined loadi

48、ng system is (1) to apply thebending force with a loading member that pushes against as much of theprofiled surface of the tile as is practical, (2) to support the tile onmembers that support as much of the profiled surface of the tile as ispractical, and (3) to ensure that the contact area of both

49、the loading andsupport members be equally distributed on either side of the lengthcenterline on the tile to avoid non-symmetrical loading.For tile with complex profiles and cross-sections but with flat bearingsurfaces which are at least 50 % of the width of the tile and which are alsoequally distributed on either side of the length centerline it is notprohibited to use flat support and loading members to perform this testprovided that they otherwise comply with the requirements of 6.3.4, 6.3.5and 6.3.6. When sufficient flat bearing surface does not exist,
