1、Designation: C 1088 09Standard Specification forThin Veneer Brick Units Made From Clay or Shale1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1088; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision.
2、A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers thin veneer brick units madefrom clay, shale, fire clay, sand, or mixtures thereof, and firedto incipient
3、fusion for use in adhered or fastened veneerapplications. Three types of thin veneer brick units in each oftwo grades are covered. In this specification, the term thinveneer brick shall be understood to mean clay masonry unitwith a maximum thickness of 134 in. (44.45 mm).NOTE 1Brick intended for pav
4、ing should be specified under Specifi-cation C 902.1.2 The property requirements of this specification apply atthe time of purchase. The use of results from testing of brickextracted from masonry structures for determining conform-ance or nonconformance to the property requirements (Section5) of thi
5、s specification is beyond the scope of this specification.1.3 Brick covered by this specification are manufacturedfrom clay, shale, or similar naturally occurring substances andsubjected to a heat treatment at elevated temperatures (firing).The heat treatment must develop sufficient fired bond betwe
6、enthe particulate constituents to provide the strength and dura-bility requirements of the specification. (See “firing” and “firedbond” in Terminology C43.)1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units

Grades3
9、.1 Two grades of thin veneer brick units are covered forexposure conditions to weather and are defined in Table 1 asInterior and Exterior.4. Types4.1 Three types of thin veneer brick units are covered asfollows:4.1.1 Type TBS (Standard)Thin veneer brick for generaluse in masonry.4.1.2 Type TBX (Sele
10、ct)Thin veneer brick for general usein masonry where a higher degree of precision and lowerpermissible variation in size than permitted for Type TBS isrequired.4.1.3 Type TBA (Architectural)Thin veneer brick for gen-eral use in masonry selected to produce characteristic architec-tural effects result
11、ing from nonuniformity in size and texture ofthe individual units.4.2 When the type is not specified, the requirements forType TBS will govern.5. Physical Properties5.1 DurabilityThe thin veneer brick shall conform to thephysical requirements in Table 1 for the grade specified. Whenthe grade is not
12、specified, the requirements for Grade Exteriorshall govern. If the water absorption of each unit is less than8.0 % after submersion in cold water for 24 h, the requirementsfor saturation coefficient shall be waived. If exterior or interiorgrade thin veneer brick are intended for use on interiors onl
13、y,the requirements for water absorption (5-h boiling) and forsaturation coefficient for interior grade in Table 1 shall govern.5.2 Freezing and ThawingThe requirements specified in5.1 for water absorption (5-h boiling) and saturation coefficientshall be waived provided a sample of 5 typical exterior

18、face dimension.5.3 Low Weathering Index AlternativeIf the thin brick areintended for use exposed to weather where the weatheringindex is less than 50 (see Fig. 1), and unless otherwisespecified, the requirements given in Table 1 for grade interiorshall apply.NOTE 2The effect of weathering on thin br
19、ick is related to theweathering index, which for any locality is the product of the averageannual number of freezing cycle days and the average annual winterrainfall in inches (millimetres), defined as follows.A freezing cycle day is any day during which the air temperature passeseither above or bel
20、ow 32F (0C). The average number of freezing cycledays in a year may be taken to equal the difference between the meannumber of days during which the minimum temperature was 32F (0C)or below, and the mean number of days during which the maximumtemperature was 32F (0C) or below.Winter rainfall is the
21、sum in inches (millimetres) of the mean monthlycorrected precipitation (rainfall) occurring during the period between andincluding the normal date of the first killing frost in the fall and the normaldate of the last killing frost in the spring. The winter rainfall for any periodis equal to the tota
22、l precipitation less one tenth of the total fall of snow,sleet, and hail. Rainfall for a portion of a month is prorated.6. Efflorescence6.1 Brick are not required to be tested for efflorescence tocomply with this specification unless requested by the specifieror purchaser. When the efflorescence tes

26、ng for efflorescence is “effloresced,” the brick representedby the testing do not meet the efflorescence requirements ofthis specification.7. Material, Finish, and Manufacturer Limitation7.1 Units shall not show surface defects and deficiencies,nor effects of surface treatments including coating in
27、themanufacturing process, that interfere with installation of thebrick or significantly impair the performance of the construc-tion.7.2 Colors and textures produced by application of inor-ganic coatings to the faces of the thin veneer brick arepermitted if approved by the purchaser, provided that ev
28、idenceis furnished of the durability of the coatings.7.3 Face or Faces:7.3.1 The face or faces that will be exposed in place shall befree of chips that exceed the limits given in Table 2. Theaggregate length of chips shall not exceed 10 % of theperimeter of the face or faces of the thin veneer brick
29、.7.3.2 The face or faces shall not contain cracks or otherimperfections that detract from the appearance of the desig-nated sample when viewed from a distance of 15 ft (4.6 m) forType TBX and a distance of 20 ft (6.1 m) for Types TBS andTBA.7.4 The number of thin veneer brick in a delivery that areb

31、age and tolerances.8. Color and Texture8.1 If brick having a particular color, color range, or textureare desired, these features shall be specified separately by thepurchaser. The texture of the finished surfaces that will beexposed when in place shall conform to an approved sampleconsisting of not
32、 less than four typical stretcher thin veneerbrick, each representing the desired texture. The color rangeshall be indicated by the approved sample.9. Size and Tolerances9.1 SizeThe face size of thin veneer brick shall be asspecified by the purchaser. In a representative sample of tenunits selected
33、to include the extreme range of color anddimensions of thin veneer brick to be supplied for each size andcolor combination in the purchase order, no thin brick shalldepart from the specified size by more than the individualtolerance for the type specified as prescribed in Table 3.Tolerances on dimen
34、sions for Type TBA shall be as specifiedby the purchaser.NOTE 3For a list of modular sizes see Guide E 835/E 835M. Sizeslisted in this standard are not produced in all parts of the United States.Brick names denoting sizes may be regional and therefore may not beincluded in all reference books. Purch
35、asers should ascertain the size ofbrick available in their locality and should specify accordingly, stating thedesired dimensions (width by height by length).9.2 WarpageTolerances for distortion or warpage of faceor edges of individual units from a plane surface shall notexceed the maximum for the t
36、ype specified as prescribed inTable 4. Tolerances on distortion for Type TBA shall be asspecified by the purchaser.10. Sampling and Testing10.1 The brick shall be sampled and tested in accordancewith applicable sections in Test Methods C67.10.2 The manufacturer or the seller shall furnish specimensf
37、or tests. The place or places of selection shall be designatedwhen the purchase order is placed.NOTE 4Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order, the cost oftests is typically borne as follows: if the results of the test show that brickdo not conform to the requirements of this specification,
38、the cost istypically borne by the seller. If the results of the tests show that the brickdo conform to the requirements of this specification, the cost is typicallyborne by the purchaser.TABLE 2 Maximum Permissible Extent of Chippage from the Edges and Corners of Finished Face or Faces onto the Surf
