The machine and bearingsshall be constructed to transmit the load in a vertical plan
33、ethrough the longitudinal axes of the bearings and tile. Thebearings shall be attached to the machine so as to receive anduniformly transmit the loads required in the tests, withoutvibration or shock.11.2.1.4 The loading apparatus shall provide means fordetermination of load with an accuracy of at l
34、east 98 % andcapable of retaining the loading information that results in thecrushing strength determination.11.2.2 Bearing BeamsBearing beams shall be no less thanthe length of the barrel of the tile. Built-up bearing beams maybe used, provided their deflection does not exceed that speci-fied. In o
35、rder for the bell or socket of the tile, if applicable, toclear the bearing beams, it is recommended that the bearingbeams be faced with a metal or hardwood member for affixingthe contact edges.11.2.3 Three-Edge Bearings:11.2.3.1 Three-edge bearings shall consist of an uppermember, comprised of a be
36、aring beam on which one contactedge is located so that it lies in the vertical plane passingthrough the longitudinal axis of the tile, and a lower membercomprised of a bearing beam on which two contact edges aresymmetrically located parallel to that vertical plane.11.2.3.2 The contact edges shall co
37、nsist of rubber stripsalone or hardwood strips with plaster of paris fillets. Contactedges shall uniformly contact the outside of the tile.11.2.3.3 The two contact edges on the lower member shallbe spaced apart approximately 1 in./ft (83 mm/m) of tilediameter, but in no case less than 1 in. (25 mm).
38、11.2.3.4 Positioning strips may be used to align the uppercontact edge and to align and space the lower contact edges. Inthe case of rubber contact edges, positioning strips shall notexceed one half of the thickness of the contact edge and mayremain in place.11.2.3.5 If rubber strips are used as con
39、tact edges, they shallbe cut or formed from a material having a Shore A,instantaneous, durometer hardness between 45 and 60. Thestrips shall be of rectangular cross section, having a 2-in.(51-mm) width, and a thickness not less than 1 in. (25 mm) normore than 112 in. (38 mm). The contact edges shall
40、 be usedwith the 2-in. (51 mm). dimension in contact with the bearingbeam. Rubber contact edges may be attached to the bearingbeam by an adhesive, provided the contact edge remains firmlyfixed in position.11.2.3.6 If hardwood strips with plaster of paris fillets areused as contact edges, the strips
41、shall be straight and have across section not less than 1 in. (25 mm) in either direction.Thebottom contact edges shall have vertical sides, with the interiortop corners having a radius of approximately12 in. (13 mm).The contact edges shall be securely fastened to the beams.11.2.3.7 Plaster of paris
42、 fillets shall be cast on hardwoodcontact edges to provide uniform bearing contact on the outsideof the tile. Fillets shall be cast on the two lower contact edgesand on the upper contact edge, along the tile crown. Sufficientexcess plaster shall be removed from between the two lowercontact edges to
43、eliminate the possibility of a single continuouslower contact. The tile and contact edges shall be joined whilethe plaster of paris is still workable. Testing shall be performedonly after the fillets have set.11.3 Procedure:11.3.1 Immerse tile, 12-in. (305-mm) diameter and smaller,in water for at le
44、ast 1 h and not more than 2 h immediatelyprior to testing. Tile with diameters larger than 12 in. (305 mm)may be tested without wetting, but shall not be dried except asmay occur in complying with the provisions of 11.3.2.11.3.2 No tile specimen shall be exposed to temperatureslower than 40F (4.4C)
45、from the start of wetting until tested.Frozen tile shall be completely thawed before testing.11.3.3 Strength tests are to be made by the three edgebearing method.11.3.4 Center all bearings and test tile accurately for sym-metrical distribution of load.11.3.5 Apply load as continuously as testing equ
46、ipmentpermits until the tile fails.11.3.6 Record the load at which failure occurs.TABLE 2 Number of Perforations per Row for Perforated Clay Drain TileNominal Lengths of Tile, ft (m)Tile Size Diameter, in.(mm)Minimum Number ofRows ofPerforations1 (0.31) 112 (0.46) 2 (0.61) 212 (0.76) 3 (0.92)Minimum
