Storage4.1 The sulfur mortar shall be stored in unopened containersand in a clean, dry place to prevent contamination of theproduct. The mortar is not known to deteriorate in storage.5. Saf

7、ety Precautions5.1 Sulfur mortar must be heated and molten in order to beused.5.2 Molten sulfur mortar fumes and vapors are irritating tothe eyes and mucuous membranes. Adequate ventilation shouldbe provided wherever sulfur mortars are used.5.3 If overheated, sulfur mortar ignites and burns with alo

8、w, blue flame that generates sulfur dioxide. If this shouldhappen, heating must be stopped and the vessel covered with atight-fitting lid to smother the flames.5.3.1 When using sulfur mortar in a confined area, each pailof molten material must be checked before entering the area toensure that the mo

9、rtar is not burning.5.3.2 The areas where the melting and pouring are carriedout must be checked for flammable or explosive gases, and aflame permit issued, if required, before melting vessel fires arelit, or the molten sulfur mortar is carried into the area.5.3.3 Fire extinguishing equipment must b

10、e available inorder to prevent flame spread.5.3.4 Water should not be used to extinguish ignited sulfur.5.4 All workmen must be equipped with suitable eyeprotection and gloves to protect them from spills and splashesof the molten mortar.5.4.1 It is recommended that workmen wear flame-retardantclothi

11、ng. If combustible clothing is worn, care should be takento ensure that it does not contact the flame used for melting thesulfur mortar.5.4.2 All surfaces which molten sulfur mortar will contactmust be dry to prevent splattering.6. Equipment6.1 Vessel, made of cast iron, steel, or aluminum, formelti

12、ng the sulfur mortar. Suitable melting pots may beavailable from the sulfur mortar manufacturer.6.2 Long-Handled Steel Ladle, for dipping and stirring.6.3 Metal Pails, for transporting and pouring mortar.NOTE 1All equipment must be clean and dry.7. Melting7.1 Sulfur mortar must be dry at the time of

13、 use in order toprevent foaming.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C03 on Chemical-Resistant Nonmetallic Materials and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC03.02 on Mortar and Monolithics.Current edition approved Oct. 1, 2003.

15、ebsite.1Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.7.2 The ideal temperature range for melting and handlingmolten sulfur mortar is from 265 to 290F (130 to 145C).Within this range the mortar is a smooth, free-flowing liquidwith a

16、 mirror-bright surface appearance.7.2.1 If the mortar is maintained below 265F, some of theliquid will congeal over the top or around the sides of thevessel, or both.7.2.2 If the mortar is heated above 290F, the mortarthickens and loses its mirror-bright surface appearance.7.3 Fill the vessel not mo

17、re than one-half full of sulfurmortar.7.3.1 Heat slowly until the mortar has melted and attainedthe appearance described in 7.2.7.3.2 If congealing occurs, increase the temperature gradu-ally until it disappears.7.3.3 If the mortar is overheated, allow the molten materialto cool while stirring frequ

18、ently. The addition of unmeltedsulfur mortar will facilitate cooling.8. Laying Brick or Tile8.1 The brick or tile must be dry and preferably at 65 to85F (18 to 29C).NOTE 2For an installation that is to be made under unusual environ-mental conditions, consult the sulfur mortar manufacturer for assist

19、ancebefore beginning the application.8.2 Joint ThicknessJoint thickness should be between14in. (6 mm) and516 in. (8 mm).8.2.1 Spacer chips,14 to516 in. (6 to 8 mm) thick, made ofsulfur mortar conforming to Specification C 287, are available.8.2.2 Alternatively, wood buttons approximately14-in. (6-mm

20、) thick by58-in. (16-mm) diameter, may be substituted forthe sulfur chips.8.2.3 Horizontal joints may be formed by resting each brickor tile on three spacers which are placed in a triangular pattern.8.2.4 Spacers may also be used to maintain the thickness ofvertical joints.8.3 Walls with Bed and Joi

21、nts of Sulfur MortarBrickshould be laid running bond (staggered joints). Use muslin orheavy kraft paper, saturated with sodium silicate solution(water glass), over the face of the brick or tile to retain themolten sulfur mortar until it congeals. (If muslin is used, it maythen be stripped, resaturat

22、ed, and reused.)8.3.1 Form and pour only one course of brick or tile at atime.8.3.2 The pouring containers should be large enough, andsufficient workmen used, to keep an entire pour fluid.8.3.3 Fill the vertical joints to within 1 in. (25 mm) of thetop of the course. This will provide a key in the m

23、ortar for thesubsequent course.8.4 Walls with Bed of Sulfur Mortar and Joints of ResinMortarsBeginning at a distance between14 to516 in. (6 to 8mm) away from the vertical substrate, construct a wall withresin mortar by buttering one long and one short dimension ofthe brick.8.4.1 Lay only one course

24、of brick at a time, and pour thebed (back) joint with sulfur mortar as described in 8.3 above.8.4.2 For additional information regarding the selection anduse of resin mortar, see Specification C 395 and PracticeC 399.NOTE 3When dual cements are used for the walls, the entire floor isinstalled with b

25、ed and joints of resin mortars.8.5 Floors with Sulfur Bed JointThe floor shall be givena skim coat of sulfur mortar prior to installing brick or tile.8.5.1 The purpose of the skim coat if asphalt membrane isused is to prevent the brick or tile from forcing spacer chipsinto the membrane.8.5.2 If elas

26、tomeric linings are used, the purpose of thesulfur mortar skim coat is to provide a true plane on top ofwhich the brick or tile will be subsequently installed.8.5.3 Brick or tile are laid on three spacer chips to form thehorizontal bed joint with spacing between the brick or tilemaintained at14 to51

27、6 in. (6 to 8 mm).8.5.4 Pour molten sulfur mortar between brick or tile and fillthe vertical joints to12 in. (13 mm) from the top.8.5.5 After the sulfur mortar has solidified but is still warm,fill the balance of the joint by flooding the floor and squeegee-ing the molten mortar over the surface of

28、the brick or tile.Suitable squeegees are box board, fiber board, etc.9. Cleaning Mortar from Brick or Tile9.1 Various compounds and application methods are avail-able from mortar manufacturers for masking the brick or tile tokeep sulfur mortar from adhering to them.10. Curing10.1 Sulfur mortar conge

29、als in a few minutes and has its fullchemical resistance and about 65 % of its ultimate strength in30 min at a temperature of 73 6 4F (23 6 2C). Sulfur mortarshould be allowed to set for 2 h after congealing before placingin service.11. Chemical Resistance11.1 The chemical resistance of sulfur morta

30、rs may bedetermined by Test Method C 267.11.2 A general guide to chemical resistance of sulfur mor-tars may be found in Table 1 of Specification C 287.12. Service Temperature12.1 Sulfur mortars should not be used in installations thatwill be subjected to temperatures above 190F (88C).13. Keywords13.
