2、n. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope1.1 These test methods cover the tests for determini

3、ng theabsorption and bulk specific gravity of all types of dimensionstone, except slate.1.2 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore each system shall be used indepe

It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsAll definitions are in accordance with Ter-minology C 119.4. Significance and Use4.1 These test method

6、s are useful in indicating the differ-ences in absorption between the various dimension stones.These test methods also provide one element in comparingstones of the same type.5. Sampling5.1 The sample shall be selected to represent a true averageof the type or grade of stone under consideration and

7、shall beof the quality supplied to the market under the type designationto be tested. The sample may be selected by the purchaser orhis authorized representative from the quarried stone or takenfrom the natural ledge and shall be of adequate size to permitthe preparation of at least five test specim

8、ens. When percep-tible variations occur, the purchaser may select as manysamples as are necessary for determining the range in proper-ties.6. Test Specimens6.1 The specimens may be cubes, prisms, cylinders, or anyregular form with least dimension not under 50 mm (2 in.) andgreatest dimension not ove

9、r 75 mm (3 in.) but the ratio ofvolume to surface area shall not be less than 8 nor greater than12.5 when measuring in millimetres (0.3 and 0.5 when mea-suring in inches). All surfaces shall be reasonably smooth. Sawor core drill surfaces are considered satisfactory, but roughersurfaces shall be fin

10、ished with No. 80 abrasive. No chisels orsimilar tools shall be used at any stage of preparing thespecimens.6.2 Prepare at least five specimens from each sample.6.3 The same specimens may be used to determine bothwater absorption and bulk specific gravity. In this case, followthe procedures in 7.1-7

11、.3 and 10.1, and issue a single reportcontaining all information required in 9 and 13. Alternatively,separate specimens may be prepared from the same or differentsamples. In this case, follow the applicable procedure forseparate determination and reporting of water absorption orbulk specific gravity

12、, or both.7. Procedure7.1 Dry the specimens for 48 h in a ventilated oven at atemperature of 60 6 2C (140 6 4F). At the 46th, 47th, and48th hour, weigh the specimens to ensure that the weight is thesame. If the weight continues to drop, continue to dry thespecimens until there are three successive h

13、ourly readings withthe same weight.7.2 After drying, cool the specimens in the room for 30 minand weigh. When the specimens cannot be weighed immedi-ately after cooling, store them in a desiccator. Determine theweights to the nearest 0.01 g (0.0005 oz).7.3 Immerse the specimens completely in filtere

14、d or dis-tilled water at 22 6 2C (72 6 4F) for 48 h.
