1、Designation: C1261 10C1261 13Standard Specification forFirebox Brick for Residential Fireplaces1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1261; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A

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

3、actured from clay, fire clay, shale, or similar naturally occurring earthy substances and subjected toa heat treatment at elevated temperatures (firing). The heat treatment must develop a fired bond between the particulate constituentsto provide the strength and durability requirements of this speci

4、fication (see Terminology C1232).NOTE 1Firebox brick are typically installed using ground fire clay mortar or refractory mortar. Mortar joints are typically 18 in. (3.2 mm) thick, justthick enough to accommodate dimensional variations in the firebox brick.1.3 The text of this specification reference

Materials, Manufacture, Materials and Finish Manufacture4.1 Clay, as it occurs in nature, differs in composition and physical properties. These

8、 differences are compensated for by varyingthe manufacture processes of forming and firing. In order to be satisfactory for firebox brick production, clays must have plasticitythat permits them to be shaped or molded when mixed with water. Clays must also have sufficient tensile strength to maintain

9、shape.4.2 Firebox brick are shaped during manufacture by molding, pressing, or extruding and cutting. Firebox brick shall be 100 %solid with no cores or frogs.4.3 Firebox brick shall be free of defects, deficiencies, and surface treatments, including coatings, that would interfere with theproper set
