1、Designation: C1088 10Standard Specification forThin Veneer Brick Units Made From Clay or Shale1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1088; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A
2、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 fu
3、sion 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 pavin
4、g should be specified under Specifi-cation C902.1.2 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 this s
5、pecification 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 betweent
6、he particulate constituents to provide the strength and dura-bility requirements of the specification. (See “firing” and “firedbond” in Terminology C1232.)1.4 The text of this specification references notes andfootnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes andfootnotes (excluding those in
7、 tables and figures) shall not beconsidered as requirements of the standard.1.5 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.2. Refere

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 (Select)Thin veneer bric
10、k 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 resulting from nonuniform
11、ity 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 specified, the requ
12、irements 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 only,the requirements
13、for water absorption (5-h boiling) and forsaturation coefficient for interior grade in Table 1 shall govern.NOTE 2Aminimum compressive strength requirement is not includedin combination with other physical property requirements as an indicatorof freeze/thaw durability. The geometry of the thin brick
14、 units maypreclude proper testing and can affect the failure mode attained.

20、or grade interiorshall apply.NOTE 3The effect of weathering on thin brick 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
21、 is any day during which the air temperature passeseither above or below 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 whic
22、h the maximumtemperature was 32F (0C) or below.Winter rainfall is the 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
23、 in the spring.

26、 are not required to be tested for efflorescence tocomply with this specification unless requested by the specifieror purchaser. When the efflorescence test is requested by thespecifier or purchaser, the brick shall be sampled at the place ofmanufacture, and tested in accordance with Test Methods C6
27、7,and a rating for efflorescence shall be “not effloresced.” If therating 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 a
28、nd deficiencies,nor effects of surface treatments including coating in 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 v
29、eneer brick arepermitted if approved by the purchaser, provided that evidenceis 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 ex
30、ceed 10 % of theperimeter of the face or faces of the thin veneer brick.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
31、 TBS andTBA.7.4 The number of thin veneer brick in a delivery that arebroken or otherwise fail to meet the requirements for chippageand tolerances shall not exceed 5 %.7.5 After thin veneer brick are installed, the manufacturer orthe manufacturers agent shall not be held responsible forcompliance of
32、 thin veneer brick with the requirements of thisspecification for chippage 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 beexp
33、osed when in place shall conform to an approved sampleconsisting of not 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 asspeci
34、fied by the purchaser. In a representative sample of tenunits selected 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 individualtolera
35、nce for the type specified as prescribed in Table 3.Tolerances on dimensions for Type TBA shall be as specifiedby the purchaser.NOTE 4For a list of modular sizes see Guide E835/E835M. Sizeslisted in this standard are not produced in all parts of the United States.Brick names denoting sizes may be re
36、gional and therefore may not beincluded in all reference books. Purchasers 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 warpage of face or edges ofindividual units fro
37、m a plane surface shall not exceed themaximum for the type specified as prescribed in Table 4.Tolerances on warpage for Type TBA shall be as specified bythe purchaser.10. Sampling and Testing10.1 The brick shall be sampled and tested in accordancewith applicable sections in Test Methods C67.10.2 The
38、 manufacturer or the seller shall furnish specimensfor tests. The place or places of selection shall be designatedwhen the purchase order is placed.NOTE 5Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order, the cost oftests is typically borne as follows: if the results of the test show that brickdo not
39、 conform to the requirements of this specification, 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
