1、Designation: C652 15C652 17Standard 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 l
2、ast revision. 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 U.S. Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers hollow
3、 building brick and hollow facing brick made from clay, shale, fire clay, or mixtures thereof,and fired to incipient fusion. Four types of hollow brick in each of two grades and two classes are covered. In this specification,the term hollow brick shall be understood to mean hollow clay masonry units
4、 whose net cross-sectional area (solid area) in anyplane parallel to the surface, containing the cores, cells, or deep frogs, is less than 75 % of its gross cross-sectional area measuredin the same plane (see 4.3). This specification does not cover brick intended for use as paving brick (see Specifi
5、cation C902).1.2 The property requirements of this specification apply at the time of purchase. The use of results from testing of brickextracted from masonry structures for determining conformance or nonconformance to the property requirements (Section 6) ofthis standard is beyond the scope of this
6、 specification.1.3 Brick covered by this specification are ceramic products manufactured primarily from clay, shale, or similar naturallyoccurring substances and subjected to a heat treatment at elevated temperatures (firing). The heat treatment shall develop sufficientfired bond between the particu
7、late constituents to provide the strength and durability requirements of this specification. Additivesor recycled materials are permitted to be included at the option of the manufacturer. (See “firing” and “firing bond” in TerminologyC1232.)1.3.1 This specification and its individual requirements sh
8、all not be used to qualify or corroborate the performance of a masonryunit made from other materials, or made with other forming methods, or other means of binding the materials.1.4 Hollow brick differ from unglazed structural clay tile (Specifications C34 and C212) and solid brick (Specifications C
9、62 andC216). Hollow brick require greater shell and web thicknesses and higher minimum compressive strength than structural clay tile,but permit greater void area and lesser distance from exposed edge to core hole than solid brick. Therefore, environmental andstructural performance may be different
10、in elements constructed of hollow brick from those constructed of structural clay tile orsolid brick.1.5 The text of this specification references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requi
11、rements of the specification.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard.

18、lassification4.1 GradesTwo grades of hollow brick are covered:Grades classify brick according to their resistance to damage by freezingwhen saturated at a moisture content not exceeding the 24-h cold water absorption. Two grades are covered and the graderequirements are given in Section 6.NOTE 1Alth
19、ough grade is associated with resistance to deterioration under freeze/thaw exposures, freeze/thaw resistance of a clay brick unit is alsoaffected by the properties of the surrounding materials, the construction details, and the overall environment in which the clay unit is placed; each of whichmay

Measurement of moisture content of brick in buildings indicates that, when the building is designed and constructed to reduce waterpe

45、e weathering index, which for any locality is the product of the average annual number offreezing cycle days and the average annual winter rainfall in inches, as defined as follows.3A Freezing Cycle Day is any day during which the air temperature passes either above or below 32F (0C). The average nu
46、mber of freezing cycledays in a year may be taken to equal the difference between the mean number of days during which the minimum temperature was 32F (0C) or below,and the mean number of days during which the maximum temperature was 32F (0C) or below.Winter Rainfall is the sum, in inches, of the me
47、an monthly corrected precipitation (rainfall) occurring during the period between and including thenormal date of the first killing frost in the fall and the normal date of the last killing frost in the spring. The winter rainfall for any period is equal tothe total precipitation less one tenth of t
48、he total fall of snow, sleet, and hail. Rainfall for a portion of a month is prorated.Fig. 2 indicates general areas of the United States that correspond to the weathering categories listed. The index for geographical locations near the50 line should be determined by analysis of weather bureau local
49、 climatological summaries, with due regard to the effect of microclimatic conditions,especially altitude.The recommended correlation between grade of hollow brick, weathering index, and exposure is found in Fig. 2. The specifier may use theserecommendations or use the grade descriptions and physical requirements along with use exposure and local climatological conditions to select grade.6.2 StrengthWhen hollow brick are required having strengths greater than prescribed in Table 2, the purchaser shall specifythe desired minimum compressiv
