1、Designation: C1261 13 (Reapproved 2017)1Standard Specification forFirebox Brick for Residential Fireplaces1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1261; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last
2、revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1NOTEReapproved with editorial change in Table 1 in December 2017.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers brick intended for use as theli
3、ning in the fireboxes of residential fireplaces.1.2 Firebox brick are manufactured from clay, fire clay,shale, or similar naturally occurring earthy substances andsubjected to a heat treatment at elevated temperatures (firing).The heat treatment must develop a fired bond between theparticulate const
4、ituents to provide the strength and durabilityrequirements of this specification (see Terminology C1232).NOTE 1Firebox brick are typically installed using ground fire claymortar or refractory mortar. Mortar joints are typically18 in. (3.2 mm)thick, just thick enough to accommodate dimensional variat
5、ions in thefirebox brick.1.3 The text of this specification references notes andfootnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes andfootnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not beconsidered as requirements of this specification.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms relating to thisspecification, see Terminology C1232.4. Materials and Manufacture4.1 Clay, as it occurs in nature
9、, differs in composition andphysical properties. These differences are compensated for byvarying the manufacture processes of forming and firing. Inorder to be satisfactory for firebox brick production, clays musthave plasticity that permits them to be shaped or molded whenmixed with water. Clays mu
10、st also have sufficient tensilestrength to maintain shape.4.2 Firebox brick are shaped during manufacture bymolding, pressing, or extruding and cutting. Firebox brick shallbe 100 % solid with no cores or frogs.4.3 Firebox brick shall be free of defects, deficiencies, andsurface treatments, including
11、 coatings, that would interferewith the proper setting of the brick or significantly impair thestrength or performance of the construction.5. Physical Properties5.1 Modulus of RuptureResidential firebox brick shallhave a minimum modulus of rupture of 500 psi (3.45 MPa).5.2 Pyrometric Cone Equivalent
12、 (PCE)Firebox brick shallhave a minimum pyrometric cone equivalent (PCE) of 13.6. Dimensions and Permissible Variations6.1 SizeThe size of the firebox brick shall be as specifiedby the purchaser. In the sample of units, no firebox brick shalldepart from the specified size by more than the maximumper
13、missible variation given in Table 1.6.2 WarpageTolerances for warpage of face or edges ofindividual brick from a plane surface and from a straight line,respectively, shall not exceed the maximum permissible war-page given in Table 1.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C15
