25、ica gel or other drying agents. 7 Preparation of test specimens 7.1 Number and dimensions of the test specimens The test specimens shall have a regular shape such as cubes or cylinders. They shall have dimensions (side or diameter) of at least 10 mm and a height of at least 10 mm. The number and dim
26、ensions of specimens are dependent on the heterogeneity of the material. Each series shall consist of at least 3 specimens. In case of anisotropy, each series shall always be tested according to the same orientation, if any. All dimensions shall have a 0,5 mm tolerance. In case of non homogeneous ma
27、terials, such as mortars, containing coarse aggregates, the dimensions shall be at least three times (and preferably five times) the largest grain size. The number and dimensions of the specimens can be different in cases when there could be difficulties in sampling the required amount of material.
28、7.2 Pre-conditioning of test specimens The surface chosen for the determination of water absorption by capillarity shall be flat and wet or dry polished with sand paper (6.8). After polishing, the specimens shall be washed with water, gently brushed with a soft brush and immersed in deionised water
29、for 30 min. In case of water-sensitive materials, for example gypsum containing materials, only dry polishing and compressed air shall be used. The above procedure does not necessarily apply to treated specimens or specimens taken from exposed surfaces. The test specimens shall be dried to constant
30、mass in a ventilated oven at a temperature of (60 2) C. If the material is temperature-sensitive, the pre-conditioning shall be conducted in a desiccator filled with desiccant or in a ventilated oven at a temperature of (40 2) C till constant mass is reached. 1) FEPA Federation of European Producers
31、 of Abrasives DIN EN 15801:2010-04 EN 15801:2009 (E) 7 Constant mass is reached when the difference between two successive weighing at an interval of 24 h is not greater than 0,1 % of the mass of the specimen. Before each weighing and before beginning the test, the specimen shall be kept in a desicc
32、ator until temperature of (23 1) C is reached. 8 Test procedure A dry bedding layer (6.2) (minimum thickness of 5 mm) is placed on the bottom of the vessel (6.1). Water is added until the bedding layer is saturated. The water level should not exceed the upper surface of the bedding layer. Maintain t
33、he water level constant throughout the test by adding water as necessary. Once constant mass has been achieved by drying, each pre-conditioned specimen is weighed (m0), the surface under investigation is placed on the bedding layer, and the chronometer is started. For measuring water absorption, the
34、 specimen is taken off the medium, any water adhering to the surface is wiped off using a damp cloth, and the specimen is weighed. The time intervals between the weighings depend on the speed of water absorption. The first weighing shall be taken at very short time intervals. The end of the test is
35、reached when the difference between two successive weighings (24 h) is not greater than 1 % of the mass of water absorbed by the specimen. If this condition is not reached, the test shall be ended after 8 days. NOTE 1 The choice of time intervals depends on the type of porous inorganic material (por
36、osity, condition, size) and the treatment, if any. It is recommended to conduct preliminary tests in order to establish the time intervals, especially during the first 60 min of the test. NOTE 2 Regardless of the set of time intervals chosen, it is important to apply the same test procedure (time in
37、tervals and number of measurements) both before and after treatment when the determination of water absorption by capillarity test method is used to verify the changes brought about by the treatment itself. After the determination of capillary water absorption, an additional test, following the same
38、 procedure shall be performed to measure the front of water on lateral surfaces of the specimen. For geometrical specimens (e.g. cubic, cylindrical form) the dynamic migration of the water front (capillary fringe) can be measured on the lateral surfaces. In case of a homogeneous and linear front, th
39、e height of the fringe corresponding to the border between the dry and the wet zone is measured with a graduated line drawn on the lateral surface of the specimen or with a ruler, starting from the bottom of the specimen. In case of a heterogeneous front, the height of the fringe corresponds to the
40、average of the four heights measured in the central part of each face (case of a cubic specimen) or with the average of three recorded heights according to the three graduated vertical lines, each 120 from each other (case of a cylindrical specimen). Alternatively, the minimum and maximum height of
41、the fringe on the lateral surfaces can be recorded with a ruler. 9 Expression of results 9.1 Capillary water absorption curve and coefficient (AC) The amount of water absorbed by the specimen per unit area Qi(kg/m2) at time ti (s) is calculated as follows: Qi= (mi m0)/A DIN EN 15801:2010-04 EN 15801
42、:2009 (E) 8 For the determination of the capillary water absorption curve the calculated values of Qiare reported in a graph as a function of the square root of time (ti1/2). The capillary water absorption coefficient (AC) is the slope of the linear section of the curve obtained plotting the mass ch
43、ange per area (Qi) versus the square root of time (ti1/2), and shall be calculated by linear regression, using at least 5 successive aligned points. Graphs reporting the water absorbed for untreated and treated specimens per unit area (Qi) versus the square root of time (ti1/2) are reported in Annex
44、 A as examples (Figure A.1). 9.2 Capillary water penetration coefficient (B) The capillary water penetration coefficient B is represented by the slope of the curve obtained reporting the height of the water front migration (Hi)versus the square root of time (ti1/2), and shall be calculated by linear
45、 regression. 10 Test report The test report shall include the following information: a) reference to this European Standard; b) the name and address of the test laboratory in which the test was carried out; c) date of testing (yy-mm-dd); d) type, name, provenance, description of the porous inorganic
