1、Designation: C652 12aStandard Specification forHollow Brick (Hollow Masonry Units Made From Clay orShale)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C652; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last re
2、vision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers hollow building b
3、rick andhollow facing brick made from clay, shale, fire clay, ormixtures thereof, and fired to incipient fusion. Four types ofhollow brick in each of two grades and two classes are covered.In this specification, the term hollow brick shall be understoodto mean hollow clay masonry units whose net cro
4、ss-sectionalarea (solid area) in any plane parallel to the surface, containingthe cores, cells, or deep frogs, is less than 75 % of its grosscross-sectional area measured in the same plane (see 4.3). Thisspecification does not cover brick intended for use as pavingbrick (see Specification C902).1.2
5、The property requirements of this specification apply atthe time of purchase. The use of results from testing of brickextracted from masonry structures for determining confor-mance or nonconformance to the property requirements (Sec-tion 6) of this standard is beyond the scope of this specification.
6、1.3 Brick covered by this specification are ceramic productsmanufactured primarily from clay, shale, or similar naturallyoccurring substances and subjected to a heat treatment atelevated temperatures (firing). The heat treatment shall developsufficient fired bond between the particulate constituents
7、 toprovide the strength and durability requirements of this speci-fication. Additives or recycled materials are permitted to beincluded at the option of the manufacturer. (See “firing” and“firing bond” in Terminology C1232.)1.4 Hollow brick differ from unglazed structural clay tile(Specifications C3
8、4 and C212) and solid brick (SpecificationsC62 and C216). Hollow brick require greater shell and webthicknesses and higher minimum compressive strength thanstructural clay tile, but permit greater void area and lesserdistance from exposed edge to core hole than solid brick.Therefore, environmental a
9、nd structural performance may bedifferent in elements constructed of hollow brick from thoseconstructed of structural clay tile or solid brick.1.5 The text of this specification references notes andfootnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes andfootnotes (excluding those in tables and
10、figures) shall not beconsidered as requirements of the specification.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.2. Referenced Do

38、 day during which the air temperaturepasses either above or below 32F (0C). The average number of freezingcycle days in a year may be taken to equal the difference between themean number of days during which the minimum temperature was 32F(0C) or below, and the mean number of days during which the m

Rainfall for a portion of a month is prorated.Fig. 2 indicates general areas of the United States which correspond tothe weathering categories listed. The index for geographical locations nearthe 50 lin
43、e should be determined by analysis of weather bureau localclimatological summaries, with due regard to the effect of microclimaticconditions, especially altitude.The recommended correlation between grade of hollow brick, weath-ering index, and exposure is found in Fig. 2. The specifier may use these
44、recommendations or use the grade descriptions and physical requirementsalong with use exposure and local climatological conditions to selectgrade.6.2 StrengthWhen hollow brick are required havingstrengths greater than prescribed in Table 2, the purchaser shallspecify the desired minimum compressive
45、strength.6.3 Initial Rate of Absorption (IRA)Test results for IRAshall be determined in accordance with the Initial Rate ofAbsorption (Suction) (Laboratory Test) section of Test Meth-ods C67 and shall be furnished at the request of the specifier orpurchaser. IRA is not a qualifying condition or prop
46、erty ofunits in this specification. This property is measured in order toassist in mortar selection and material handling in the construc-tion process. See Note 4.NOTE 4Initial Rate of Absorption (Suction)Both laboratory andfield investigation have shown that strong and watertight joints betweenmort
47、ar and masonry units are not achieved by ordinary constructionmethods when the units as laid have excessive initial rates of absorption.Mortar that has stiffened somewhat because of excessive loss of mixingwater to a unit may not make complete and intimate contact with thesecond unit, resulting in p
48、oor adhesion, incomplete bond, and water-permeable joints of low strength. IRA of the units is determined by theoven-dried procedure described in the IRA (Suction) (Laboratory Test) ofTest Methods C67. IRAin the field depends on the moisture content of themasonry unit and is determined in accordance
49、 with the IRA (Suction)Field Test of Test Methods C67. Units having average field IRAexceeding30 g/min per 30 in.2(30 g/min 194 cm2) should have their IRA reducedbelow 30 g/min per 30 in.2prior to laying. They may be wettedimmediately before they are laid, but it is preferable to wet themthoroughly 3 to 24 h prior to their use so as to allow time for moisture tobecome distributed throughout the unit.7.
