Store the unitsfree from drafts, unstacked, with separate placement, for aperiod of at least 4 h and until the surface temperature is within5F (2.8C) of the drying room temperature. Do not usespecimens noticeably wa

23、meric organic silicone compounds usedfor water-resistant coatings of brick units. Heat the brick at 9506 50F (510 6 28C) in an oxidizing atmosphere for a periodof not less than 3 h. The rate of heating and cooling shall notexceed 300F (149C) per h.NOTE 2Where indicated for specific individual tests,

24、 additional speci-men preparation may be required.6. Modulus of Rupture (Flexure Test)6.1 Test SpecimensThe test specimens shall consist ofwhole dry full-size units (see 5.1.1). Five such specimens shallbe tested.6.2 Procedure:6.2.1 Support the test specimen flatwise unless specified andreported oth

25、erwise (that is, apply the load in the direction of thedepth of the unit) on a span approximately 1 in. (25.4 mm) lessthan the basic unit length and loaded at midspan. If thespecimens have recesses (panels or depressions) place them sothat such recesses are on the compression side. Apply the loadto

26、the upper surface of the specimen through a steel bearingplate14 in. (6.35 mm) in thickness and 112 in. (38.10 mm) inwidth and of a length at least equal to the width of thespecimen.6.2.2 Make sure the supports for the test specimen are freeto rotate in the longitudinal and transverse directions of

27、the testspecimen and adjust them so that they will exert no force inthese directions.6.2.3 Speed of TestingThe rate of loading shall not exceed2000 lbf (8896 N)/min. but this requirement is considered asbeing met if the speed of the moving head of the testingmachine immediately prior to application

28、of the load is notmore than 0.05 in. (1.27 mm)/min.6.3 Calculation and Report:6.3.1 Calculate and report the modulus of rupture of eachspecimen to the nearest 1 psi (0.01 MPa) as follows:S 5 3Wl/2 2 x!/bd2(1)where:S = modulus of rupture of the specimen at the plane offailure, lb/in.2(Pa),W = maximum

29、 load indicated by the testing machine, lbf(N),l = distance between the supports, in. (mm),b = net width, (face to face minus voids), of the specimenat the plane of failure, in. (mm),d = depth, (bed surface to bed surface), of the specimen atthe plane of failure, in. (mm), andx = average distance fr

30、om the midspan of the specimen tothe plane of failure measured in the direction of thespan along the centerline of the bed surface subjectedto tension, in. (mm).6.3.2 Calculate and report the average of the modulus ofrupture determinations to the nearest 1 psi (0.01 MPa).7. Compressive Strength7.1 T

31、est Specimens:7.1.1 BrickThe test specimens shall consist of dry halfbrick (see 5.1.1), the full height and width of the unit, with alength equal to one half the full length of the unit 61 in. (25.4mm), except as described below. If the test specimen, describedabove, exceeds the testing machine capa

32、city, the test specimensshall consist of dry pieces of brick, the full height and width ofthe unit, with a length not less than one quarter of the fulllength of the unit, and with a gross cross-sectional areaperpendicular to bearing not less than 14 in.2(90.3 cm2). Testspecimens shall be obtained by

33、 any method that will produce,without shattering or cracking, a specimen with approximatelyplane and parallel ends. Five specimens shall be tested.7.1.2 Structural Clay TileTest five dry tile specimens in abearing bed length equal to the width 61 in. (25.4 mm); or testfull-size units.7.2 Capping Tes

34、t Specimens:7.2.1 All specimens shall be dry and cool within themeaning of 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 before any portion of the cappingprocedure is carried out.7.2.2 If the surface which will become bearing surfacesduring the compression test are recessed or paneled, fill thedepressions with a mortar composed

35、of 1 part by weight ofquick-hardening cement conforming to the requirements forC67072Type III cement of Specification C 150, and 2 parts by weightof sand. Age the specimens at least 48 h before capping them.Where the recess exceeds12 in. (12.7 mm), use a brick or tileslab section or metal plate as a

36、 core fill. Cap the test specimensusing one of the two procedures described in 7.2.3 and 7.2.4.7.2.3 Gypsum CappingCoat the two opposite bearingsurfaces of each specimen with shellac and allow to drythoroughly. Bed one of the dry shellacked surfaces of thespecimen in a thin coat of neat paste of cal

37、cined gypsum(plaster of paris) that has been spread on an oiled nonabsorbentplate, such as glass or machined metal. The casting surfaceplate shall be plane within 0.003 in. (0.076 mm) in 16 in.(406.4 mm) and sufficiently rigid; and so supported that it willnot be measurably deflected during the capp

38、ing operation.Lightly coat it with oil or other suitable material. Repeat thisprocedure with the other shellacked surface. Take care that theopposite bearing surfaces so formed will be approximatelyparallel and perpendicular to the vertical axis of the specimenand the thickness of the caps will be a

39、pproximately the sameand not exceeding18 in. (3.18 mm). Age the caps at least 24 hbefore testing the specimens.NOTE 3A rapid-setting industrial type gypsum is frequently used forcapping.7.2.4 Sulfur-Filler CappingUse a mixture containing 40to 60 weight % sulfur, the remainder being ground fire clay

40、orother suitable inert material passing a No. 100 (150-m) sievewith or without plasticizer. The casting surface plate require-ments shall be as described in 7.2.3. Place four 1-in. (25.4-mm)square steel bars on the surface plate to form a rectangularmold approximately12 in. (12.7 mm) greater in eith

41、er insidedimension than the specimen. Heat the sulfur mixture in athermostatically controlled heating pot to a temperature suffi-cient to maintain fluidity for a reasonable period of time aftercontact with the surface being capped. Take care to preventoverheating, and stir the liquid in the pot just

42、 before use. Fillthe mold to a depth of14 in. (6.35 mm) with molten sulfurmaterial. Place the surface of the unit to be capped quickly inthe liquid, and hold the specimen so that its vertical axis is atright angles to the capping surface. The thickness of the capsshall be approximately the same. All

43、ow the unit to remainundisturbed until solidification is complete. Allow the caps tocool for a minimum of 2 h before testing the specimens.7.3 Procedure:7.3.1 Test brick specimens flatwise (that is, the load shall beapplied in the direction of the depth of the brick). Teststructural clay tile specim

44、ens in a position such that the load isapplied in the same direction as in service. Center the speci-mens under the spherical upper bearing within116 in. (1.59mm).7.3.2 The testing machine shall conform to the requirementsof Practices E4.7.3.3 The upper bearing shall be a spherically seated,hardened

45、 metal block firmly attached at the center of the upperhead of the machine. The center of the sphere shall lie at thecenter of the surface of the block in contact with the specimen.The block shall be closely held in its spherical seat, but shall befree to turn in any direction, and its perimeter sha

46、ll have at least14 in. (6.35 mm) clearance from the head to allow forspecimens whose bearing surfaces are not exactly parallel. Thediameter of the bearing surface shall be at least 5 in. (127.00mm). Use a hardened metal bearing block beneath the speci-men to minimize wear of the lower platen of the

47、machine. Thebearing block surfaces intended for contact with the specimenshall have a hardness not less than HRC60 (HB 620). Thesesurfaces shall not depart from plane surfaces by more than0.001 in. (0.03 mm). When the bearing area of the sphericalbearing block is not sufficient to cover the area of

48、the specimen,place a steel plate with surfaces machined to true planes within6 0.001 in. (0.03 mm), and with a thickness equal to at leastone third of the distance from the edge of the spherical bearingto the most distant corner between the spherical bearing blockand the capped specimen.7.3.4 Speed

49、of TestingApply the load, up to one half of theexpected maximum load, at any convenient rate, after which,adjust the controls of the machine so that the remaining load isapplied at a uniform rate in not less than 1 nor more than 2 min.7.4 Calculation and Report:7.4.1 Calculate and report the compressive strength of eachspecimen to the nearest 10 psi (0.01 MPa) as follows:Compressive strength, C 5 W/A (2)where:C = compressive strength of the specimen, lb/in.2(orkg/cm2) (or Pa104),W = maximum load, lbf, (or kgf) (or N), indicated by thetesting
