31、r.C902 152Brick in general is superior in weathering resistance to other building materials. There are innumerable instances of satisfactory performance beyond200 years and even into the thousands of years. Nevertheless, there are some brick that cannot survive a few winters of a severe freezing and
32、 thawingenvironment.The durability requirements of the specification attempt to exclude such brick. This specification utilizes the best knowledge available at this time andis based on extensive research by several investigators. The durability requirements have an excellent correlation with in-use
33、performance. Nevertheless,it is known that some brick that meet this specification may not be serviceable in severe climates. Furthermore, other brick that do not meet thesespecifications may show superior serviceability in the most severe climate. The best indication of brick durability is its serv
34、ice experience record.5.2 Abrasion ResistanceThe brick shall meet the requirements of either column (1) or (2) of Table 2 for the applicable trafficuse (see 4.1.2).3NOTE 9Skid/slip resistance should be considered by the purchaser for uses of brick where pedestrian traffic is anticipated. Methods of
35、testing thischaracteristic are under study and it is hoped that a specification for this property can be added in future revisions of this standard when suitable testmethods are developed.6.

The values listedshall not be exceeded by any individual unit within the sample.B The abrasion index is calculated
40、from the 24-h cold water absorption in percentand the compressive strength in pounds per square inch as follows:Abrasion index5 1003absorptioncompressive strength (1)Compressive strength values are influenced by specimen shape (particularly theheight to width ratio of the test specimen). Therefore,
41、a shape is specified whichconforms to the data on which the abrasion index is based.4The compressive strength shall be determined on specimens measuring 378 by378 by 214 in. 14 in. (98 by 98 by 57 mm 6 mm) for length, width, and heightrespectively. The brick shall be without core holes, other perfor
42、ations or frogs.Other shaped specimens may be used provided that the producer submitsevidence acceptable to the purchaser that the change in shape gives equivalentstrength results to those of the specified shape.The abrasion resistance should be determined according to Column 2 in thosecases where t
43、he procedural requirements for compressive strength cannot be met.CThe volume abrasion loss shall be determined in accordance with Test MethodC418, with the following changes in procedure:(1) The sand shall be a natural silica sand from Ottawa, IL, graded to pass a No.50 (300-m) sieve and retained o
44、n a No. 100 (150-m) sieve.(2) The test shall be run on dry brick.(3) The duration of the test shall be 2 min.(4) The rate of sand flow shall be 400 g/min.(5) The volume loss shall be determined by filling the abraded depression withmodeling clay, striking off level with the original surface of the b
45、rick, and removingand weighing the modeling clay. The volume loss shall be calculated from the bulkdensity of the modeling clay. The bulk density shall be determined on each lot ofmodeling clay.An alternative method of determining the weight of clay used in filing the sand-blast cavity is to determi
46、ne the weight of the modeling clay sample before and afterfilling the cavity.C902 1536.2.5 Cost of Tests (Note 10)Party to pay and conditions for payment of compliance testing.7. Efflorescence7.1 Brick are not required to be tested for efflorescence to comply with this specification unless requested
47、 by the specifier orpurchaser. When the efflorescence test is requested by the specifier or purchaser, the brick shall be sampled at the place ofmanufacture, and tested in accordance with Test Methods C67, and a rating for efflorescence shall be “not effloresced.” If the ratingfor efflorescence is “
48、effloresced,” the brick represented by the testing do not meet the efflorescence requirements of thisspecification.8. Dimensions and Permissible Variations8.1 The size of the brick shall be as specified by the purchaser or produced by the manufacturer as a stock item.8.2 The tolerances on dimension
49、and warpage shall depend on the application specified. When the application is not specified,the requirements for Application PS shall govern.8.2.1 Application PSPaving brick intended for general use and installed with a mortar joint between individual units, or inan installation without mortar joints between units when they are laid in running or other bonds not requiring extremely closedimensional tolerances.8.2.2 Application PXPaving brick intended for installation without mortar joints between the units, where excepti
