Standard Methods of Testing Concrete Roof Tiles7.1 The following tests are required on concrete roof tiles:7.1.1 Dimen
26、sional Tolerances.7.1.2 Freeze Thaw (see 7.3.1).7.1.3 Transverse Strength.7.1.4 Permeability.7.1.5 Water Absorption.7.2 Testing for Dimensional Tolerances and Weight:7.2.1 DimensionsThe total variation in dimensions oftiles (length, width, and height), when measured in accordancewith Test Methods C

32、he same productionplant, and within the previous 12 months, passed the test, andprovided also that a sample of five tiles selected from the lothas an average and individual minimum transverse strength notless than the previously tested sample and has average andindividual maximum water absorption no
33、t greater than those ofthe previously tested sample.7.3.2 Only tile passing freeze-thaw testing shall be installedin areas subjected to weathering indices of 50 or greater and lottags or certification that the lot of tile has passed the freeze-thaw testing accompanies the lot. See Fig. 1 for weather
34、ingindices map.7.3.3 Tile not tested for freeze-thaw shall state clearly thatthe lot has not been tested for freeze-thaw acceptance on all lottags or certification.7.3.4 Modify Test Methods C 67 procedure for freezing andthawing as follows:7.3.4.1 The test specimens shall consist of five whole tile.
35、7.3.4.2 The freezing trays and containers shall be of suffi-cient size and depth to allow the tiles to be completelysubmerged in water when placed horizontally.7.3.4.3 The tile shall be completely submerged in waterwhen the trays are placed in the freezing chamber.7.3.4.4 Tile shall be tested indivi
36、dually or shall be stackedon top of each other in the tray, provided that spacers of at least14 in. (6 mm) thick are used between adjacent tile and that thetotal stack is completely submerged.NOTE 3A large capacity freezer is generally necessary to accomplishfreezing in the manner specified in Test
37、Methods C 67 for trays containingmore than one tile. It is permitted to use custom trays to enclose the tile(s)and minimize the volume of water required to completely submerge thetile(s).7.3.5 Tile is considered to have passed the freezing andthawing test if, at the completion of 50 cycles, all spec
38、imensremain unbroken and no individual specimen loses more than1 % of original dry weight.7.4 Transverse Strength:7.4.1 ApparatusThe transverse breaking strength of tilesshall be determined as described in the Modulus of Rupture(Flexural Test) in Test Methods C 67 except as modified in7.4.2-7.4.9.7.
39、4.2 Five tiles shall be tested wet after a 24-h submersionin water at a temperature of 75 6 10F (24 6 6C) or five tilesshall be tested dry after heating in a ventilated oven for 24 h ata temperature of 230 to 239F (100 to 115C).7.4.3 Tiles shall be considered to comply with this specifi-cation if th
40、ey comply with either the wet or dry transversestrength required. The choice of method, wet or dry, shall bemutually agreed upon between specifier and supplier.7.4.4 The span for the test shall be 12 in. (30.5 cm) 65%or23 the length of the tile, whichever is greater. The span ismeasured between the
41、centers of the lower support members(see Fig. 2).7.4.4.1 It is permitted to use a shorter span than required by7.4.4 when the length of the tile to be tested, or the installedunsupported span of the tile, is not sufficient to allow a 12 in.(30.5 cm) span to be used. In that case a shorter span, not
42、lessthan23 of the length of the tile, or the total length of the longestunsupported span as installed, whichever is less, shall be used.7.4.5 The tile shall be tested in a three-point bending modein a horizontal plane with the bottom surface of the tile restingon two lower support members and with t
43、he 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 supportFIG. 1 Weathering Indices in the United StatesC1492033members). A schematic of the assembly
44、 for testing a typical“S” tile is shown in Fig. 2.7.4.5.1 The two support members and the loading membershall each be of metal or hardwood with 1 in. (25 mm) 65%wide faces. The faces shall be shaped (see Note 4) to closelyconform to the profile of the surface of the tile upon which theybear during t
45、he test (the profile can, therefore, be different foreach member depending on the profile and cross-sectionalshape of the tile). The total height of the support members shallnot be more than 1 in. (25 mm) greater than the rise of theprofile. If hardwood, they should be backed up with steelbearing pl
46、ates at least12 in. (13 mm) thick. A rubber shim strip316 in. (4.8 mm) 6 10 % thick of hardness no greater thanshore durometer 30 (A scale), and 1 in. (25 mm) 65 % wide,shall be placed between the faces of the support and loadingmembers and the surface of the tile.NOTE 4The intent of the defined loa
47、ding system is (1) to apply thebending force with a loading member that pushes against as much of theprofiled surface of the tile as practical, (2) to support the tile on membersthat support as much of the profiled surface of the tile as is practical, and(3) to ensure that the contact area of both t
48、he loading and support membersis equally distributed on either side of the tiles centerline in the longdirection to avoid nonsymmetrical loading.For tile with complex profiles and cross sections but with flat bearingsurfaces that are at least 50 % of the width of the tile and that are alsoequally di
49、stributed on either side of the length centerline, use flat supportand loading members to perform this test, provided that they otherwisecomply with the requirements of 7.4.4.1-7.4.5.1. When sufficient flatbearing surfaces do not exist, use wood blocks of appropriate thicknessand profile and 1 in. (25 mm) wide to provide a surface that will permitload application using a flat loading member that otherwise meets therequirements of 7.4.4.1-7.4.5.1, and causes the load to be applied to atleast 50 % of the width of the tile and
