At least s

29、ix test specimens, representing the body of stone being tested, shall be selected. 7.2 Test specimens The test specimens can be in the form of a cylinder, cube or prism and must be obtained by diamond sawing or coring. Their apparent volume calculated by geometrical measurements shall be at least 60

30、 ml. In addition, the surface area to volume ratio shall be between 0,08 mm-1 and 0,20 mm-1. NOTE The specimens prepared for the determination of compressive or flexural strength can be used if they satisfy the surface/volume ratio. 7.3 Drying the specimens The specimens are to be dried at (70 5)C u

31、ntil a constant mass is reached. This is assumed to have been attained when the difference between the two weighings at an interval of (24 2) h is not greater than 0,1 % of the mass of the specimen. The specimens shall be kept in a desiccator until room temperature is attained. 8 Test procedure 8.1

32、Open porosity and apparent density Weigh each specimen (md), then put the specimens into an evacuation vessel and lower the pressure gradually to (2,0 0,7) kPa = (15 5) mm Hg. Maintain this pressure for (2 0,2) h in order to eliminate the air contained in the open pores of the specimens. Slowly intr

33、oduce demineralized water at (20 5)C into the vessel (the rate at which the water rises shall be such that the specimens are completely immersed not less than 15 min). Maintain the pressure of (2,0 0,7) kPa during the introduction of water. When all the specimens are immersed, return the vessel to a

34、tmospheric pressure and leave the specimens under water for another (24 2) h at atmospheric pressure. Then, for each specimen: weigh the specimen under water and record the mass in water: mh; quickly wipe the specimen with a dampened cloth and determine the mass msof the specimen saturated with wate

35、r. In the case of natural stones with visible cavities (e.g. travertine) the apparent volume is determined by measuring the dimensions of the specimens to the nearest millimetre.

36、nsity 8.2.1 General For dense, low porosity stones the differences between real and apparent density, as well as between open porosity and total porosity, are very small. For these stones it is sufficient to determine the apparent density and the open porosity. In the case of control of supplies the

37、 decision of omitting the determination of the real density shall be agreed upon between the parties. In this standard two methods for the determination of real density are described: the pycnometer (Method A) and Le Chatelier volumenometer (Method B). The first method is more accurate but requires

38、a very long time. It is suggested to use it as a reference method in the case of controversy. Le Chatelier volumenometer method is less accurate but easy and rapid to perform and can be used for production control. 8.2.2 Method A (pycnometer) For each specimen, after having determined the apparent d

39、ensity and the open porosity, grind each specimen separately until the particles pass through a sieve with 0,063 mm mesh. Dry the ground specimen to a constant mass and set apart a mass, meof approximately 10 g weighed to an accuracy of 0,01 g. Introduce deionized water into the pycnometer and fill

40、it approximately half full. Then add the weighed mass, meof the ground specimen into the pycnometer and agitate the liquid to disperse the solid matter. NOTE Ethanol or other liquids may be used instead of deionised water if required. In this case the density of this liquid shall be used instead of

41、density of water in the equation (5a). Expose the pycnometer to a vacuum of (2 0,7) kPa until no further air bubbles rise, then fill it with deionized water almost to the top and leave the solid matter to settle until the water above the residue is clear. Next, carefully top up the pycnometer with d

42、eionized water, fit the ground stopper and gently wipe off any overflow. Finally weigh the pycnometer to an accuracy of 0,01 g (m1). Empty and wash the pycnometer, fill it with deionized water only and weigh to an accuracy of 0,01 g (m2). Before each weighing make sure that the ambient air temperatu

43、re is (20 5)C. 8.2.3 Method B (Le Chatelier volumenometer) For each specimen, after having determined the apparent density and the open porosity, grind each specimen separately until the particles will pass through a sieve with 0,063 mm mesh. Dry the ground specimen to a constant mass and set apart

44、a mass, meof approximately 50 g weighed to an accuracy of 0,1 g. Introduce deionized water into Le Chatelier volumenometer until the level is up to the 0 graduation. Then add the weighed mass, meof the ground specimen into the volumenometer in five fractions in the region of 10 g each, ensuring that

45、 all of each fraction falls into the liquid. After the introduction of each fraction, agitate the liquid to disperse the ground specimen. Read the graduations to determine the Vsin millilitres to the nearest 0,1 ml of liquid displaced by the mass me of the ground specimen. Before taking the initial

46、at 0 level and final volume readings make sure that the ambient air temperature is (20 5)C.

47、the equation: 1000mmVrhds0= (1) The apparent volume (in millilitres) is expressed by the equation: 1000mmVrhhsb= (2) which can alternatively be calculated on the basis of the dimensions of the specimen. NOTE The value of the density of water rhat 20 C is 998 kg/m3 apparent density. 9.2 Apparent dens

48、ity The apparent density (in kilograms per cubic metre) is expressed by the ratio of the mass of the dry specimen and its apparent volume, by the equation: rhhsdbmmm= (3) 9.3 Open porosity The open porosity is expressed by the ratio (as a percentage) of the volume of open pores and the apparent volu
