United States14. Classification4.1 GradesGrades classify
15、brick according to their resistance to damage by freezing when saturated at a moisture content notexceeding the 24-h cold water absorption. Two grades of facing brick are covered and the requirements are given in Section 7.4.1.1 Grade SW (Severe Weathering) Weathering)Brick intended for use where hi
16、gh resistance to damage caused by cyclicfreezing is desired.4.1.2 Grade MW (Moderate Weathering)Brick intended for use where moderate resistance to cyclic freezing damage ispermissible.NOTE 1Although grade is associated with resistance to deterioration under freeze/thaw exposures, freeze/thaw resist
17、ance of a clay brick unit is alsoaffected by the properties of the surrounding materials, the construction details, and the overall environment in which the clay unit is placed; each of whichmay influence exposure to moisture and freezing conditions. Brick masonry should be detailed to minimize satu
18、ration or near-saturation of the units infreezing conditions. Measurement of moisture content of brick in buildings indicates that, when the building is designed and constructed to reduce waterpenetration, the 24-h cold water absorption is unlikely to be exceeded.4.2 TypesThree types of facing brick
19、 are covered:4.2.1 Type FBSBrick for general use in masonry.4.2.2 Type FBXBrick for general use in masonry where a higher degree of precision and lower permissible variation in sizethan permitted for Type FBS is required.4.2.3 Type FBABrick for general use in masonry selected to produce characterist
20、ic architectural effects resulting fromnonuniformity in size and texture of the individual units.4.3 When the type is not specified, the requirements for Type FBS shall govern.5.

Physical Properties7.1 DurabilityWhen grade is not specified, the requirements for Grade SW shall govern.7.1.1 Physical Property RequirementsThe brick shall conform to the physical requirements for the g
32、rade specified asprescribed in Table 1. For the compressive strength requirements in Table 1, test the unit with the compressive force perpendicularto the bed surface of the unit, with the unit in the stretcher position.7.1.2 Absorption AlternateThe saturation coefficient requirement does not apply
33、provided that the 24-h cold water absorptionof each of the five units tested does not exceed 8.0 %.7.1.3 Freezing and Thawing AlternativeThe requirements for 5-h boiling water absorption and saturation coefficient do notapply, provided a representative sample of five brick, meeting the strength requ
34、irements of Table 1, passes the freezing and thawingtest as described in the Rating Section of the Freezing and Thawing test procedures of Test Methods C67:NOTE 5The 50 cycle freezing and thawing test is used as an alternative only when the brick do not conform to either Table 1 requirements formaxi
35、mum water absorption and saturation coefficient, or to the requirements of the Absorption Alternate in 7.1.2.7.1.3.1 Grade SW: Breakage and Weight Loss RequirementNo individual unit separates or disintegrates resulting in a weightloss greater than 0.5 % of its original dry weight.7.1.3.2 Grade SW: C
36、racking RequirementNo individual unit develops a crack that exceeds, in length, the units leastdimension.7.1.4 Low Weathering Index AlternativeIf the brick are intended for use exposed to weather where the weathering index isless than 50 (see Fig. 1), and unless otherwise specified, the requirements
37、 given in Table 1 for 5-h boiling water absorption andfor saturation coefficient shall not apply, but the minimum average compressive strength requirement of 2500 psi (17.2 MPa) shallapply.NOTE 6The effect of weathering on brick is related to the weathering index, which for any locality is the produ
38、ct of the average annual number offreezing cycle days and the average annual winter rainfall in inches (millimetres), defined as follows.3A Freezing Cycle Day is any day during which the air temperature passes either above or below 32F (0C). The average number of freezing cycledays in a year may be
39、taken to equal the difference between the mean number of days during which the minimum temperature was 32F or below, andthe mean number of days during which the maximum temperature was 32F or below.Winter Rainfall is the sum, in inches (millimetres), of the mean monthly corrected precipitation (rain
40、fall) occurring during the period between andincluding the normal date of the first killing frost in the fall and the normal date of the last killing frost in the spring. The winter rainfall for any periodis equal to the total precipitation less one tenth of the total fall of snow, sleet, and hail.
41、Rainfall for a portion of a month is prorated.Fig. 1 indicates general areas of the United States which correspond to the weathering index categories listed. The index for geographic locations nearthe 50 line should be determined by analysis of weather bureau local climatological summaries, with due
42、 regard to the effect of microclimatic conditions,especially altitude.The recommended correlation between grade of facing brick, weathering index, and exposure is found in Fig. 1. The specifier may use theserecommendations or use the grade descriptions and physical requirements along with use exposu
43、re and local climatological conditions to select grade.7.2 StrengthWhen brick are required having strengths greater than prescribed by this specification, the purchaser shall specifythe desired minimum compressive strength.7.3 Initial Rate of Absorption (IRA)Test results for IRAshall be determined i
44、n accordance with the IRA(Suction) (LaboratoryTest) of Test Methods C67 and shall be furnished at the request of the specifier or purchaser. IRA is not a qualifying condition orproperty of units in this specification. This property is measured in order to assist in mortar selection and material hand
45、ling in theconstruction process. See Note 7.NOTE 7Initial Rate of Absorption (Suction)Both laboratory and field investigation have shown that strong and watertight joints between mortarand masonry units are not achieved by ordinary construction methods when the units as laid have excessive initial r
46、ates of absorption. Mortar that hasstiffened somewhat because of excessive loss of mixing water to a unit may not make complete and intimate contact with the second unit, resulting inpoor adhesion, incomplete bond, and water-permeable joints of low strength. IRA of the units is determined by the ove
47、n-dried procedure described inthe IRA (Suction) (Laboratory Test) of Test Methods C67. IRA in the field depends on the moisture content of the masonry unit and is determined inaccordance with the IRA (Suction)Field Test of Test Methods C67. Units having average field IRA exceeding 30 g/min30 in.2 (3
48、0 g/min194 cm2)should have their IRA reduced below 30 g/min30 in.2 prior to laying. They may be wetted immediately before they are laid, but it is preferable to wetthem thoroughly 3 to 24 h prior to their use so as to allow time for moisture to become distributed throughout the unit.NOTE 8Loose sand
49、, such as mold-release sand in molded brick and parting agents, used in the manufacturing process is not intended as a surfacecoating. Such loose sand is typically removed during the process of construction and cleaning and is not addressed in this specification.NOTE 9The cleaning procedures used on surface-coated brick can have an effect on the appearance of the surface coating. Manufacturers should beconsulted for specific cleaning recommendations on these units.3 Data needed to determine the weathering for any locality may be found
