Material and Finish5.1 Colors and textures produced by application of inor-ganic coatings to the faces of the tiles are not prohibitedprovided that evidence satisfactory to the purchaser is fur-nished regarding the
12、 durability of the coatings. Tiles that arecolored by flashing or textured by sanding, where the sand doesnot form a continuous coating, are not considered as surface-colored tiles for the purpose of this specification.NOTE 1When surface colored tiles (other than sanded or flashed) arespecified, dat
13、a satisfactory to the purchaser shall be submitted showingthat after 50 cycles of freezing-thawing (5.2) there is no observabledifference in the applied finish when viewed from a distance of 40 ft (12m) under an illumination of not less than 50 fc (538 lm/m2) by an observerwith normal vision. It is
14、not prohibited to present service records of theperformance of the particular coated tiles in appropriate locations in placeof the freezing and thawing test, with the consent of the purchaser.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C15 onManufactured Masonry Units and is the

17、 West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.5.2 The tiles shall be free of defects, deficiencies, orbloating, that would interfere with the proper laying of the tiles,the performance of the roof, or the requirements of thisspecification.5.2.1 Tiles that, when broken, have a dark area that has a
18、steely appearance and is sharply delineated from the surround-ing normal color of tile are not prohibited. This dark area isknown as black heart or black core. Black heart is generally theresult of the reduction of iron minerals during the firingprocess. Its presence, regardless of the size in the t
19、ile thatotherwise meets the physical performance of this specification,shall not be cause for rejection.5.3 The exposed tile surface shall be free of chippage orother imperfections detracting from the appearance of thedesignated sample when viewed from a distance 40 ft (12 m)under an illumination of
20、 not less than 50 fc (538 lm/m2)byanobserver with normal vision.5.4 Unless otherwise agreed upon between the purchaserand the seller, a delivery of tiles shall contain not less than95 % whole tiles. In this specification, the term whole tilesshall be understood to mean tiles meeting the appearancere
21、quirements of this specification.5.5 After tiles are placed in usage, the manufacturer or hisagent shall not be held responsible for compliance of tiles withthe requirements of this specification for dimensional toler-ances, finish, texture, or color.6. Performance Requirements6.1 DurabilityThe tile
22、s shall conform to the physicalrequirements for the Grade specified as prescribed in Table 2.Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, tiles of a higherGrade (greater weathering index) shall be accepted instead ofa lower Grade. The saturation coefficient requirement does notapply when the average
23、 cold water absorption of a randomsample of five tiles does not exceed 6 %, no more than one tileof the sample exceeds 6 % and its cold water absorption is lessthan 8 %. When Grade 3 tiles are used in regions where theweathering index is less than 50 (see Annex A1), unlessotherwise specified, the re
24、quirements for water absorption andfor saturation coefficient shall not apply.NOTE 2Frost is of profound importance in mechanical weatheringwhere its effectiveness is dependent on the frequency of temperaturefluctuation across the freezing point in the presence of water. The abilityof a tile to resi
25、st failure in a wet and freezing environment is, therefore, ofparamount importance. If a tile fails in such an environment, its use willresult in an unacceptable deterioration of appearance or more likely, a totalfailure to function (that is, protect the underlying structure from rain), orboth. Such
26、 a tile is completely unacceptable for use regardless of its otherproperties such as strength.NOTE 3The resistance of clay roof tiles to weathering cannot bepredicted with complete assurance using any of the physical testsprescribed. However, practical experience has demonstrated satisfactoryperform
27、ance of clay roof tiles, some for hundreds of years, and thisexperience forms the basis of the prescriptive requirements of Table 2.There is generally excellent correlation between field performance and therequirements. However, it is possible that some tiles that meet thisspecification are not suit
28、able for severe climates. Furthermore, it is alsopossible for other tiles that do not meet this specification to showacceptable serviceability in the most severe climates. The best indicationof clay roof tile durability is the service record of experience with thespecified product in the environment
29、 of its intended use.6.1.1 Measure the water absorption, and calculate the satu-ration coefficient, in accordance with Test Methods C67. Thetest sample shall consist of five whole tiles.6.1.2 The physical requirements in Table 2 shall be achievedas a result of the firing process and associated therm
30、al reactionswithin the tile body (and glaze, if present) which includedevelopment of the fired bond, increase in density, increase instrength, and reduction in water absorption. Tiles shall notcomply with this specification if other processes, for example,immersion in solutions of organic materials
31、to effect impreg-nation or surface sealing, are used to change the physicalproperties which result from the firing process. It is notprohibited to test tiles in accordance with this Specificationafter the impregnation and sealing materials are removed asprescribed in Test Methods C67.6.2 Freezing an
32、d ThawingThe requirements specified in6.1 for water absorption (5-h boiling) and saturation coefficientshall not apply for all Grades provided that a sample of fivetiles, meeting all of the other requirements, experiences nobreakage, no crack development that exceeds the minimumdimension of the spec
33、imen, and not greater than 0.5 % loss indry weight when subjected to 50 cycles of the freezing-and-thawing test of Test Methods C67, modified in accordancewith 6.2.1.6.2.1 Modify Test Methods C67, Section 8, as follows: Thetest sample shall consist of five whole tiles. The freezing traysand containe
34、rs shall be of sufficient size and depth to allow thetiles to be completely submerged in water when placedhorizontally. The tiles shall be completely submerged in waterwhen the trays are placed in the freezing chamber. It is notprohibited to test individual tile or to stack tile on top of eachother
35、in the tray, provided that spacers at least14 in. (6 mm)thick are used between adjacent tiles and that the total stack iscompletely submerged.NOTE 4A large capacity freezer is generally necessary to accomplishfreezing in the manner specified in Test Methods C67for trays containingmore than one tile.

(30.5 cm)6 5%or23 of the length of the tile, whichever is greater. Thespan is measured between the centers of the lower supportmembers (6.3.3 and
44、 Fig. 1).6.3.2.1 It is not prohibited to use a shorter span thanrequired by 6.3.2 when the length of the tile to be tested is notsufficient to allow a 12 in. (30.5 cm) span to be used. In thatcase, a shorter span, not less than two-thirds of the length of thetile, shall be used and the required mini
45、mum values in Table 3shall be increased proportionately to the reduction in span, thatis, multiplied by:NOTE 1See text for dimensions.FIG. 1 Schematic of Assembly for Flexure Strength TestingC 1167 03 (2009)312span used in.!(1)6.3.3 The tile shall be tested in a three-point bending modein a horizont
46、al plane with the bottom surface of the tile restingon two lower support members and with the load being appliedto the upper (exposed) surface of the tile by a third membermoving in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the tile andat mid-span (that is, equidistant from each of the lower support
47、members).6.3.4 The two support members and the loading membershall be of metal or hardwood with 1 in. (25 mm) 6 5 % widefaces. The faces shall be shaped (see Note 6) to closelyconform to the profile of the surface of the tile upon which theybear during the test (it is prohibited to use different pro
48、files foreach member depending on the profile and cross-sectionalshape of the tile). The total height of the members shall not bemore than 1 in. (25 mm) greater than the rise of the tile profileand, if hardwood, they shall be backed up with steel bearingplates at least12 in. (13 mm) thick. A rubber

(25 mm) 6 5 % wide, shallbe placed between the faces of the support and loadingmembers and the surface of the tile. A schematic of theassembly for testing a typical “ S” tile is shown in Fig. 1.NOTE 6The intent of the defined loading system is (1) to apply thebending force with a loading member that pushes against as much of theprofiled surface of the tile as is practical, (2) to support the tile onmembers that support as much of the profiled surf
