Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of bonding tile under con-trolled conditions to a pure portland cement paste bond coat,supported by a cement mortar bed.4.2 After proper cure of the te
7、st assembly, a load is appliedto one edge of the tile and the load increased at a definite rateuntil the bond between tile and bond coat is broken.4.3 Because the laboratory method of applying shear stressrapidly loads both tile and setting bed in compression, astronger than normal setting bed for t
8、he test specimens isspecified. This avoids failure of the setting bed before thedesired failure at the tile-bond coat interface occurs. In real tileinstallations with portland cement paste an entirely differentloading mechanism, usually generated primarily by shrinkingof the setting bed or structura
9、l backing, results in mild tensionin setting bed and mild compression in the tile, but the sametype of shear stress occurs between tile and bond coat as doesin response to the laboratory loading method. The finding of anadequate bond strength under the conditions of this test methodcan be taken as p
10、roof that the tested tile could be permanentlybonded in a properly installed conventional installation usingthe lean, low-shrinkage mortars customarily specified for thisparticular purpose.4.4 To maintain practical sample size and limit maximumbreaking load, tile larger than nominal 414 in. (108 mm)
11、 on aside must be cut to 4 in. (102 mm).5. Significance and Use5.1 This test method provides a means of determiningwhether or not tile of the types indicated in 1.1 can be bondedwith adequate strength to portland cement paste. Tile specifi-cations can refer to this test method in order to establishm
12、inimum bond strength limits appropriate to the serviceconditions that are anticipated.5.2 Separation between bond coat and setting bed, orbreakage of the setting bed itself shall not be consideredfailures of tile bond.6.

(6.4 mm) in from an edge, andpreferably, perpendicular to any directional back-pattern, toprovide one smooth, straight edge.8.2.4 Tile that are cut on a saw requiring that they be wettedwith water shall subsequently be thoroughly washed, rinsed atleast once in clean water, and dried
27、in an oven at a temperatureof 225 6 10F (107 6 5C) for 4 h. They shall be allowed tocool to room temperature before they are set on a mortar bed.Tile cut dry shall be brushed with a dry cloth to remove dustfrom the bonding surface.8.2.5 Immerse nonvitreous and semivitreous tile (tile with awater abs
28、orption over 3 %) in water for at least12 h prior touse, and fully drain them of surface moisture before installa-tion. Nonvitreous and semivitreous tile, mounted with water-soluble adhesive, must have mounting media and adhesivecarefully and completely removed under running water beforeimmersion to
29、 prevent contamination of the bonding surface.9. Procedure9.1 Lightly oil the inside surfaces of the molds to permiteasy removal of the specimen assemblies after fabrication. Fillthe molds, without voids, to an excess with one of thefollowing mortars:9.1.1 For nonvitreous tile (water absorption over
30、 7 %): Onepart portland cement, 0.25 part hydrated lime, 3.30 parts drystandard sand, and 0.55 part potable water; all parts by mass.9.1.2 For impervious, vitreous, or semivitreous tile (waterabsorption not over 7 %): One part portland cement, 3.30 partsstandard sand, and 0.50 part potable water; al
31、l parts by mass.9.2 Screed the surface of the mortar to receive the tile bydrawing a straight-edge, resting on opposite sides of the mold,across the mold to remove the excess mortar placed therein; donot float, puddle, or trowel the surface. The prepared mortarbeds must receive the tile not less tha
32、n 1 h nor more than 112h after screeding. Use a freshly prepared, smooth paste of onepart by weight of portland cement passing through a No. 200(75-m) sieve and 0.36 part by weight of potable water as auniform bond coat on the surface of the prepared tile intendedfor bonding, in an amount sufficient
33、 to form a continuous layernot less than132 in. (0.8 mm) or more than116 in. (1.6 mm)over it, in addition to filling any depressions in it.9.3 Place the tile on the mortar bed with one smooth,straight edge14 in. (6.4 mm) in from a 6-in. (152-mm) longedge of the mortar bed and parallel to it. Center
34、one fifth of thetile in the sample along the edge of the mortar bed with a spacebetween tile, when more than one tile is used, of18 in. (3.2mm) or more. Use a jig that will project over the edge of themortar bed to facilitate placing the tile at the specified14 in.(6.4 mm) from, and parallel to, the
35、 edge.9.4 Place prepared oblong tile (except nominally square tilewith a trimmed edge) on the mortar bed so that their lengthswill be vertical during loading. Place tile that are not rectan-gular so that they are loaded on a straight edge and aresymmetrical about a vertical center line.9.5 Place til
36、e that have a directional back-pattern on themortar bed with the direction of the back-pattern parallel to thedirection of loading, except when there is conflict with theinstructions in 9.4; those instructions shall take precedence.9.6 Immediately after each tile is placed on the mortar bedin the pr
37、oper position, tap it firmly to assure 100 % contactbetween the bond coat and the mortar bed, and then carefullyremove all excess cement paste from around the edges andbetween the tile. Under no condition should the surface level ofthe mortar bed under the tile be disturbed.9.7 Damp cure the five co
38、mplete specimen assemblies in themolds for 16 to 24 h by covering them with moist cloths andpolyethylene film. Remove them from the molds; cure for anadditional 6 days at approximately 70F (21C) and at least90 % relative humidity prior to testing. Ninety percent relativehumidity shall be obtained by
39、 wrapping the specimen assem-blies immediately after removal from the molds in an imper-vious film or foil.9.8 Immediately upon removing the specimen assemblyfrom the film or foil (after 7 days total curing time), place it onedge into the holding fixture with the edge of the mortar bedfrom which the
40、 tile are recessed14 in. (6.4 mm) facing upwardand the opposite edge resting on a piece of felt18 in. (3.2 mm)thick (see Fig. 2). Adjust the back of the assembly to restagainst the upright part of the fixture. Fasten the assembly tothe fixture by means of two clamps and place the fixture withthe spe
41、cimen assembly in the compression testing machine.Place the appropriate key on the edge of the tile specimen, witha18-in. (3.2-mm) thick felt strip between the key and the tileedge as shown in Fig. 2. Use that key which most nearly coversthe full length of the tile edge to be loaded without touching
42、adjacent tile. The key shall cover not less than 70 % of the tileedge and be centered on it. Load one specimen at a time at therate of 200 6 20 psi/min (1.4 6 0.1 MPa/min) in a shear untilthe bond is broken.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the strength of the bond, B, in pounds-forceper square inch (or
43、 pascals), as follows:B 5 P/A (1)where:B = bond strength, psi (or Pa),P = maximum load, lbf (or N), andA = bonded area of the tile, in.2(or m2).11.
