1、Designation: C 1601 08Standard Test Method forField Determination of Water Penetration of Masonry WallSurfaces1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 1601; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of

2、last revision. 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 test method covers the field determination of waterpenetration of a masonry wall surface under specific water fl

3、owrate and air pressure conditions. This test is intended for use onany masonry wall surface that can be properly instrumentedand tested within the requirements of this standard.1.2 This test method is not identical to and the results arenot directly comparable with the laboratory standard TestMetho

4、d E 514.1.3 Surface penetration, as determined by this test method,is defined as the amount of water passing through the wallsurface exposed to testing per unit time per unit area. Thisproperty is not directly comparable to overall water penetrationand leakage, which are typically defined as the amo

Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms used in this test method, refer toTerminology C 1232.4. Significance and Use4.1 This non-destru

8、ctive test method contains proceduresand equipment requirements to quantitatively determine thesurface penetration of water at a single location on a masonrywall. It is not designed to determine the overall water penetra-tion and leakage of a masonry system.4.2 Excessive water penetration of masonry

9、 may degrademasonry wall performance with respect to thermal conductiv-ity, durability, efflorescence, staining, corrosion of embeddedmetal items, and water leakage.4.3 This test may be used to evaluate masonry walls in-situor for field mock-up testing. Common applications of thismethod have been co

10、mparison of water penetration rates ofwalls before and after repairs, and testing the efficacy ofcoatings. Alternative procedures are also provided to simulatethe effect of local climatology on water penetration of masonrywall surfaces.4.4 The outer surface of all masonry walls will experiencewater

11、penetration when subjected to wind-driven rain. Theresistance to water penetration is dependent on materials,workmanship, design, and maintenance. Some wall typesaccommodate large volumes of water penetration, withoutdeleterious effects, through the presence of properly designedand installed drainag

12、e systems including flashing and weepholes. Use of this standard without consideration of the overallwall system may lead to incorrect conclusions regardingperformance.4.5 It is the intent of this standard that a sheet of water bedeveloped and maintained on the wall surface during testing. Insome ca

13、ses, due to the surface texture of the masonry, theapplication of a coating, or other factors, a sheet of water willnot consistently form. In those cases, results of this test methodwill likely be inaccurate.4.6 This test method is similar to but distinct from thelaboratory Test Method E 514. This f

14、ield test method isdesigned to test in-situ walls. E 514 laboratory test method isdesigned to test laboratory wall specimens. This test methoddetermines water penetration of the masonry at its surface. TestMethod E 514 measures the water that has penetrated into andthrough the masonry specimen and i

Apparatus5.1 Test ChamberUse a test chamber similar to thatshown in

18、 Fig. 1. Provide a rectangular opening with aminimum area of 12 ft2(1.08 m2) with a minimum dimensionof 24 in. (0.6 m) for each side of the opening (Note 1). Seal thecontact surface between the frame of the chamber and the testarea to prevent loss of water and maintain air pressure. Coverthe face of

19、 the chamber with a tough, transparent materialcapable of withstanding the test pressure (Note 2). Provide a34-in. (19-mm) diameter, corrosion-resistant, water spray pipewith a single line of 0.04-in. (1.0-mm) diameter holes spaced 1in. (25 mm) apart, starting within 1 in. (25 mm) of each end(Note 3

20、). Position the water spray pipe within the chamber sothat the water impinges the wall perpendicular to the wall notmore than 1.5 in. (40 mm) below the interior top of the testchamber.NOTE 1A size of 36 in. (0.9 m) wide and 48 in. (1.2 m) high iscommon.NOTE 2Transparent plastic sheets316 to14 inch (

21、5 to 6 mm) thickhave been shown to perform well. Plexiglast and Lexant are twoproducts that have been used.NOTE 3Clean-outs at the end of the spray bar to facilitate cleaning thespray bar are common.5.2 Fixtures and Appurtenances to ChamberFixtures andappurtenances to the chamber include an air line

22、 with manom-eter or pressure gauge able to read air pressure to within 0.50lb/ft2(24 Pa), a water line with valves, a flow meter in thewater supply line able to read flow within 0.02 gpm (4.5 L/h),and a water drain pipe at the bottom of the chamber. The wateris stored in a calibrated reservoir with

23、a minimum volume of 3gal. (13 L), with graduations to allow readings within 0.015 gal(0.055 L) (Note 4). Pump water from the reservoir to the spraybar. Return water which drains from the bottom of the chamberdirectly to the reservoir.NOTE 4Use of a cylindrical reservoir having dimensions of approxi-

24、mately 4 to 8 inches (100 to 200 mm) in diameter by 5 ft. (1.5 m) or talleris common.5.3 Other equipment includes devices for handling andmounting the chamber and measuring time, water quantities,and ambient temperature.6. Hazards6.1 The use of this test method requires careful design ofboth air cha

25、mber and support of the wall system to avoidpossible injury due to equipment or masonry failure. Assurethat the chamber and its attachment to the wall are adequate forthe applied pressures during testing.6.2 Water penetration resulting from this test can causesaturation of adjacent materials and lea

26、kage into occupiedspaces of the buildings. Take into consideration the effects ofpotential water infiltration and leakage.7. Procedure7.1 Mounting ChamberAttach the test chamber with me-chanical fasteners using sufficient pressure to form an air- andwater-resistant seal (Note 5).NOTE 5Use of a gaske

27、t or sealant at the contact surface is common.FIG. 1 Water Surface Penetration Test SystemC16010827.2 SealingIf needed, apply a perimeter sealant betweenthe chamber and wall surface to ensure that leakage does notoccur at the interface. Allow the sealant to cure sufficiently toensure adequate bond a

28、nd water resistance.7.3 Application of Air Pressure and Water FlowAdjustthe water flow rate to 3.4 gal/ft2/h (138 L/m2/h) times the areaof the chamber opening. Simultaneously, increase the airpressure within the chamber to 10 lb/ft2(500 Pa). Check forleakage from the perimeter of the chamber. If lea

29、kage occurs,stop the test, reseal, and re-start the procedure.7.3.1 During the test, note the flow pattern of the water overthe masonry surface. If a complete sheet of water is observed,report it as “sheet flow”. If the water runs down the surface inpatterned or random rivuleted streams or in any ot

30、her mannerthat leaves portions of the wall surface un-wetted, report it as“incomplete sheet flow” and document the pattern of flow withsketches drawn to scale. Monitor the water flow pattern duringthe testing and report any changes.NOTE 6It is the intent of this standard that a sheet of water bedeve

31、loped and maintained on the wall surface during testing. In somecases, due to the surface texture of the masonry, the application of acoating, or other factors, a sheet of water will not consistently form. Inthose cases, results of this test method will likely be inaccurate.7.4 PreconditioningMainta

32、in the water flow rate andpressure specified in 7.3 for 30 minutes prior to starting thetest. During the last five minutes of this period, adjust the waterflow rate and air pressure to the specified test parameters.7.5 Standard Test ConditionsPerform this test using awater flow rate of 3.4 gal/ft2/h

33、 (138 L/m2/h) and an air pressureof 10 lb/ft2(500 Pa). The test duration shall be not less thanfour hours after the preconditioning period.7.6 Alternate Test ConditionsSpecial condition testingspecified to model different water flow rates or chamber airpressures are acceptable. Procedures for specif

34、ying the testingparameters using local climatological data are provided in 7.6.1and 7.6.2.7.6.1 Testing Parameter Determination Using LocalWeather DataThis procedure utilizes local weather data(wind speeds and rainfall intensity) to produce testing param-eters (water flow rate, air pressure, and dur

35、ation of test) forwater chamber testing of vertical surfaces. The conversion isaccomplished using a numerical approach. The weather datacan be obtained from various sources, including the NationalClimatological Data Center. This procedure does not addressthe methods used to select weather data nor d
