2、evision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice is for the evaluation of the ability ofcoatings to resist the passage of water thr

3、ough masonry blockwhen exposed to water spray and air pressure.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does

6、ing, Textured (For Interior and ExteriorMasonry Surfaces)33. Summary of Practice3.1 Typically 8 by 16 by 2 in. masonry blocks are coatedwith block filler and then coated with the masonry paint andallowed to cure. The coated blocks are then secured to a testapparatus and exposed for 24 h to continuou

7、s water spray andair pressure or as agreed upon between manufacturer andsupplier. Upon completion of the exposure, the blocks areremoved, evaluated for visible water leaks or weight gain, orboth.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice is meant to simulate the ability of a coatingsystem applied to a

8、 masonry block to withstand exposure tocontinuous water spray (rain) and a dynamic pressure equiva-lent to a 98 mph wind velocity without exhibiting water leaksor weight gain, or both.5. Apparatus5.1 The testing box is assembled from transparent plasticpanels12-in. thick and typically of the dimensi

9、ons as shown inFig. 1. Three openings on the side, 6 by 12 in., are provided sothat the coated side of the three blocks may be positioned fortest. The openings on the top of the apparatus for the air inletand manometer connection shall not be less than 3 in. apart tomake certain that air inlet turbu

10、lence will not effect themanometer readings. A spray tube shall be constructed from12-in. plastic tubing with three fish-tail nozzles.4Attachment tothe testing box includes a water-filled U-tube manometer,source of compressed air, clamps and angle irons for securelyfastening the test panels to the b

11、ox, and a drain outlet. Also,illustrated is a simple air pressure regulator consisting of aT-tube with the leg (foot) of the tube placed in a water filledbeaker at a depth of slightly greater than 5 in. This set up is alsoa safety device. Any sudden increase in air pressure will bevented harmlessly.

12、 The apparatus outlined above was derivedfrom that shown in Federal Specification TT-C-555B. Appara-tus and substrates of other dimensions can be used as agreedupon between manufacturer and supplier. The duration ofexposure and water pressure used will also be agreed uponbetween manufacturer and use

Sampling7.1 Sampling of both block filler, if used, and topcoat shallbe conducted in accordance with procedures outlined inPractice D 3925.8. Procedure8.1 Prepare patio blocks by using a stiff

18、 bristle brush toremove any loose materials.8.2 Assure that blocks are dried and have been stored in anarea under standard conditions of 73.5 6 3.5F (23 6 2C) and50 6 5 % relative humidity as outlined in SpecificationD 3924.8.3 Apply block filler, if required, in accordance withmanufacturers instruc

19、tions or at a recommended spreading rateof 100 6 10 ft2/gal to three blocks. It may be advisable to usea scrub brush for this application to assure that all the voids inthe block are filled before applying the test coat. Determine thedensity of the block filler in accordance with proceduresoutlined

20、in Test Method D 1475 and apply the coating at thespreading rate specified using the following equation:Grams of Paint Needed 5454 3 Density lb/gal!3Area in.2Block!144 3 Spreading Rate ft2/gal!(1)NOTE 1Ablock filler may not be suitable for all coatings applications,such as clear water repellents.8.4

21、 Allow block filler to dry at least overnight or permanufacturers instructions.8.5 Apply topcoat using a good quality nylon/polyesterbrush over the block filler at the manufacturers recommendedspreading rate. Use the equation outlined in 8.3 to determinethe amount of test paint needed.8.6 Allow test

22、 blocks to dry for seven days at standardconditions, or as agreed upon between manufacturer andsupplier.8.7 The three coated masonry panels to be tested will beplaced against the openings in the test box with the coated sidefacing the spray unit. Either rubber gaskets, a suitable caulkingcompound or

23、 mortite may be used to provide an air and watertight seal. The angle irons shall be positioned and clampedtightly.8.8 The water shall be started through the spray unit at a rateof between 60 and 70 gal/h, as measured by the waterdischarged.8.9 After the drain opening is covered with dischargingwate

24、r, the air supply shall be adjusted so that pressure producedinside will be 5 in. as measured by the manometer. The test isFIG. 1 Dimensions of Test BoxD 6904 03 (2007)2made at 5 in. of water pressure, which is the equivalentdynamic pressure at 98 mph wind velocity.8.10 Expose the test panels for 24

25、 h to the above mentionedconditions, unless there is obvious water penetration of thecoated panels sooner than that. Water penetration will be notedby visible water leaks or if the rear face on the coated block isdamp.8.11 If required, remove the test blocks from the apparatusand determine the gain

Interpretation of Results9.1 The pass/fail criteria will be as agreed upon betweenmanufacturer and user.NOTE 2Federal Specification TT-C-555B, from which this testmethod is derived, was intended for pigmented coatings and required thatthere be no visible water leaks, a
