ASTM C1261-2007 Standard Specification for Firebox Brick for Residential Fireplaces《住宅壁炉用火箱砖的标准规范》.pdf

1、Designation: C 1261 07Standard Specification forFirebox Brick for Residential Fireplaces1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1261; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A numbe

2、r in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers brick intended for use as thelining in the fireboxes of residential fireplaces.1.2 Firebox brick are manufacture

3、d from clay, fire clay,shale, or similar naturally occurring earthy substances andsubjected to a heat treatment at elevated temperatures (firing).The heat treatment must develop a fired bond between theparticulate constituents to provide the strength and durabilityrequirements of this specification.

4、NOTE 1Firebox brick are typically installed using ground fire claymortar or refractory mortar. Mortar joints are typically18 in. (3.2 mm)thick, just thick enough to accommodate dimensional variations in thefirebox brick.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The

5、 values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.4 The text of this specification references notes andfootnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes andfootnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not beconsidered as requirements of this specification.2. Referenced Documen

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms relating

7、to thisspecification, see Terminology C43.4. Materials, Manufacture, and Finish4.1 Clay, as it occurs in nature, differs in composition andphysical properties. These differences are compensated for byvarying the manufacture processes of forming and firing. Inorder to be satisfactory for firebox bric

8、k production, clays musthave plasticity that permits them to be shaped or molded whenmixed with water. Clays must also have sufficient tensilestrength to maintain shape.4.2 Firebox brick are shaped during manufacture by mold-ing, pressing, or extruding and cutting. Firebox brick shall be100 % solid

9、with no cores or frogs.4.3 Firebox brick shall be free of defects, deficiencies, andsurface treatments, including coatings, that would interferewith the proper setting of the brick or significantly impair thestrength or performance of the construction.5. Physical Properties5.1 Modulus of RuptureResi

10、dential firebox brick shallhave a minimum modulus of rupture of 500 psi (3.45 MPa).5.2 Pyrometric Cone Equivalent (PCE)Firebox brickshall have a minimum pyrometric cone equivalent (PCE) of 13.6. Size and Tolerances6.1 SizeThe size of the firebox brick shall be as specifiedby the purchaser. In the sa

11、mple of units, no firebox brick shalldepart from the specified size by more than the maximumpermissible variation given in Table 1.6.2 WarpageTolerances for distortion or warpage of faceor edges of individual brick from a plane surface and from astraight line, respectively, shall not exceed the maxi

12、mumpermissible distortion given in Table 1.6.3 Visual InspectionThe brick, as delivered to the site,shall conform by visual inspection to the samples approved asthe standard of comparison. Minor indentations or surfacecracks incidental to the usual method of manufacturing or thechippage resulting fr

13、om the customary methods of handling inshipments and delivery shall not be deemed grounds forrejection.6.4 Variation of Appearance RequirementsWhen units arerequired for decorative installations that have appearancerequirements, that is, size variation, distortion, or chippage,other than those presc

Sampling and Testing7.1 The brick shall be sampled in accordance with TestMethods C67. Test firebox brick in accordance with TestMethods C67for modulus of

18、 rupture, size, and warpage; andTest Method C24for pyrometric cone equivalence.NOTE 2Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order, the cost oftests is typically borne as follows: If the results of the tests show that thebrick do not conform to the requirements of this specification, the cost ist

19、ypically borne by the seller. If the results of the tests show that the brickdo conform to the requirements of this specification, the cost is typicallyborne by the purchaser.7.2 The manufacturer or the seller shall furnish specimensfor tests.
