1、Designation: C1195 03 (Reapproved 2011)Standard Test Method forAbsorption of Architectural Cast Stone1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1195; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revis
2、ion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers the sampling, preparation ofspecimens, and determination of the absorption of architecturalcast stone.1.
3、2 This test method describes two procedures: (1) coldwater and (2) boiling water. The user of the test method shouldstipulate which is desired. If no stipulation is made, the coldwater procedure will be used.1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in
4、 parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro
5、-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

6、 buildingunit intended to simulate natural cut stone.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is to be used in determining theabsorption of cast stone. Absorption is one measure of porosityof cast stone and, hence, its resistance to weathering andstructural stress.5. Sampling5.1 Select the sample
7、 to represent the cast stone underconsideration. The sample may be randomly selected by thepurchaser or his authorized representative from each 500 ft3(14m3) of cast stone. Select a sample of adequate size to permit thepreparation of three absorption test specimens.6. Test Specimens6.1 For absorptio
8、n tests take three specimens from thesample. Cut specimens from the finished surface of the sampleto consist of one surface intended to be exposed to view andfive saw-cut surfaces, except that for faced cast stone, cut thespecimens through the faced surface to consist of approxi-mately equal parts o
9、f the facing material and the backupmaterial.6.2 Cut specimens from the sample with saws. The testspecimens shall be 2-in. (50.8-mm) or 50-mm cubes. Theallowable size tolerance of the cubes shall be 618 in. (3.2 mm).7. Conditioning7.1 For this test, oven dry specimens at a temperature of 212to 230F
10、(100 to 110C) until the loss in mass is not more than0.1 % in 24 h of drying. Remove specimens from the oven andallow to cool in room temperature to a final temperature of 68to 77F (20 to 25C) before testing for absorption.8. Procedure8.1 Weigh the specimens immediately after conditioningand determi

Calculations9.1 Calculate the absorption of each specimen as follows:absorption, mass % 5 B 2 A!/A 3 100 (1)where:A = mass of the dried specimen, andB = mass of the specimen after immersion.9.
16、2 The absorption is the average absorption of the threespecimens.10.
