22、ressive 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.5.1.2 Absorption AlternateThe saturation coefficient requirement does not apply, provided that the 24-h cold water absorptionof each

27、on coefficient shall not apply but the minimum average compressive strength requirement of 2500 psi (17.2 MPa) shallapply.NOTE 3Weathering Index: The effect of weathering on brick is related to the weathering index, which for any locality is the product of the averageannual number of freezing cycle
28、days and the average annual winter rainfall in inches 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 taken to equal the difference between the mean number of days du
29、ring 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, of the mean monthly corrected precipitation (rainfall) occurring during the period between and including thenormal date of the f
30、irst killing frost in the fall and the normal date of the last killing frost in the spring. The winter rainfall for any period is equal tothe total precipitation less one tenth of the total fall of snow, sleet, and hail. Rainfall for a portion of a month is prorated.Fig. 1 indicates general areas in
31、 the United States which correspond to the weathering index categories listed. The index for geographic locations nearthe 50 line should be determined by an analysis of weather bureau local climatological summaries, with due regard to the effect of microclimateconditions, especially altitude.The use
32、 of Grade MW brick in a wall area above grade is structurally adequate in the severe weathering region, but Grade SW would provide a higherand more uniform degree of resistance to frost action. The degree of durability called for by Grade SW is not necessary for use in wall areas above gradein the m
33、oderate weathering region. Grade MW brick performs satisfactorily in wall areas above grade in the no-weathering region, where the averagecompressive strength of the units is at least 2500 psi (17.2 MPa). Grade SW brick should be used in any region when the units are in contact with theground, in ho
34、rizontal surfaces, or in any position where they are likely to be permeated with water.The recommended correlation between grade of building brick, weathering index, and exposure is found in Fig. 1. The specifier can use theserecommendations or use the grade descriptions and physical requirements al
35、ong with use exposure and local climatological conditions to select grade.5.2 StrengthWhen brick are required having strengths greater than prescribed by this specification, the purchaser shall specifyminimum strength.5.3 Initial Rate of Absorption (IRA)Test results for initial rate of absorption (I
36、RA) shall be determined in accordance with theIRA (Suction) (Laboratory Test) of Test Methods C67 and shall be furnished at the request of the specifier or purchaser. IRA isnot a qualifying condition or property of units in this specification. This property is measured in order to assist in mortar s
37、electionand material handling in the construction process. See Note 4.NOTE 4Initial 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 lai
38、d have excessive initial rates of absorption. Mortar that hasstiffened somewhat because of loss of excessive 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. The IRA of the
39、units is determined by the oven-dried procedure describedin the 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
40、exceeding 30 g/min per 30 in.2 (30 g/min 194 cm2)should have their IRA reduced below 30 g/min per 30 in.2 prior to laying. They may be wetted immediately before they are laid, but it is preferable towet them thoroughly 3 to 24 h prior to their use so as to allow time for moisture to become distribut
41、ed throughout the unit.6. Dimensions and Permissible Variations6.1 SizeThe size of brick shall be as specified by the purchaser. The maximum permissible variation in dimensions ofindividual units shall not exceed those given in Table 2.NOTE 5For a list of modular sizes see Guide E835/E835M. Sizes li
42、sted in this standard are not produced in all parts of the United States. Brick namesdenoting sizes may be regional and, therefore, may not be included in all reference books. Purchasers should ascertain the size of brick available in theirlocality and should specify accordingly, stating the desired
43、 dimensions (width by height by length).3 Data needed to determine the weathering index for any locality may be found or estimated from the tables of Local Climatological DataAnnual Summary withComparative Data available from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.C62 13a37. Finish and
44、Appearance7.1 The brick, as delivered to the site, shall, by visual inspection, conform to the requirements specified by the purchaser or tothe sample or samples approved as the standard of comparison and to the samples passing the tests for physical requirements.Minor indentations or surface cracks
45、 incidental to the usual method of manufacture, or the chipping resulting from the customarymethods of handling in shipment and delivery, shall not be deemed grounds for rejection.7.2 The brick shall be free of defects, deficiencies, and surface treatments, including coatings, that would interfere w
46、ith theproper setting of the brick or significantly impair the strength or performance of the construction.7.3 A delivery of brick is permitted to contain not more than 5 % broken brick.8. Coring and Frogging8.1 CoringUnless otherwise specified in the invitation for bids, brick shall be either solid
47、 or cored at the option of the seller.The net cross-sectional area of cored brick in any plane parallel to the surface containing the cores shall be at least 75 % of thegross cross-sectional area measured in the same plane. No part of any hole shall be less than 34 in. (19.1 mm) from any edge ofthe
48、brick.8.2 FroggingUnless otherwise specified in the invitation for bids, one bearing face of each brick may have a recess or panelfrog and deep frogs. The recess or panel frog shall not exceed 38 in. (9.5 mm) in depth and no part of the recess or panel frog shallbe less than 34 in. (19.1 mm) from an
49、y edge of the brick. In brick containing deep frogs, frogs deeper than 38 in. (9.5 mm), anycross-section through the deep frogs parallel to the surface containing the deep frogs shall conform to the requirements of 8.1.9. Sampling and Testing9.1 The brick shall be sampled and tested in accordance with applicable sections in Test Methods C67.9.2 The manufacturer or the seller shall furnish specimens for tests. The place or places of selection shall be designated whenthe purchase order is placed.NOTE 6Unless otherwise specified in the purchase o
