20、age and Weight LossRequirementNo individual unit separates or disintegratesresulting in a weight loss greater than 0.5 % of its original dryweight.NOTE 6The 50 cycle freezing and thawing test is specified only as analternative when brick do not conform to either Table 1 requirements formaximum water
21、 absorption and saturation coefficient, or to the restrictiveabsorption requirements in 4.1.1.1.4.1.2.2 Class SX: Cracking RequirementNo individualunit develops a crack that exceeds, in length, the units leastfinished face dimension.4.1.3 Sulfate Soundness Test AlternativeThe requirementsfor water a
22、bsorption (24-h cold) and saturation coefficientspecified in 4.1.1 shall not be required if a sample of five bricksurvives 15 cycles of the sulfate soundness test in accordancewith Sections 4, 5, and 8 of Test Method C88with no visibledamage.NOTE 7The sulfate soundness test is an optional substitute
23、 test for thefreezing-and-thawing test (4.1.2).4.1.4 Performance AlternativeIf information on the per-formance of the units in a similar application of similarexposure and traffic is furnished by the manufacturer or hisagent and is found acceptable by the specifier of the pavementmaterial, or his ag
24、ent, the physical requirements in 4.1.1 maybe waived.4.1.5 Molded Brick (Soft Mud, Semi-Dry Pressed, and DryPressed Brick)The requirements listed in Table 1 shall bechanged for molded brick to permit maximum absorption of16.0 % average and 18.0 % individual, and minimum compres-sive strengths of 400
25、0 psi (27.6 MPa) average and 3500 psi(24.1 MPa) individual for Class SX, provided that the require-ments for saturation coefficient of Table 1 are met.NOTE 8The resistance of brick to weathering cannot be predictedwith complete assurance at the present state of knowledge. There is noknown test that
26、can predict weathering resistance with complete accuracy.Brick in general is superior in weathering resistance to other buildingmaterials. There are innumerable instances of satisfactory performancebeyond 200 years and even into the thousands of years. Nevertheless,there are some brick that cannot s
27、urvive a few winters of a severe freezingand thawing environment.The durability requirements of the specification attempt to exclude suchbrick. This specification utilizes the best knowledge available at this timeand is based on extensive research by several investigators. The durabilityrequirements
28、 have an excellent correlation with in-use performance.Nevertheless, it is known that some brick that meet this specification maynot be serviceable in severe climates. Furthermore, other brick that do notmeet these specifications may show superior serviceability in the mostsevere climate. The best i
29、ndication of brick durability is its serviceexperience record.4.2 Abrasion ResistanceThe brick shall meet the require-ments of either column (1) or (2) of Table 2 for the applicabletraffic use (see 3.1.2).3NOTE 9Skid/slip resistance should be considered by the purchaser foruses of brick where pedest
30、rian traffic is anticipated. Methods of testing thischaracteristic are under study and it is hoped that a specification for thisproperty can be added in future revisions of this standard when suitabletest methods are developed.5. Efflorescence5.1 Brick are not required to be tested for efflorescence
31、 tocomply with this specification unless requested by the specifieror purchaser. When the efflorescence test is requested by thespecifier or purchaser, the brick shall be sampled at the place ofmanufacture, and tested in accordance with Test Methods C 67,and a rating for efflorescence shall be “not
32、effloresced.” If the3McBurney, J. W., Brink, R. H., Eberle, A.
