Significance and Use4.1 This test method provides information that aids inevaluating the effect of four principal variables: materials,coatings, wall design, and workmanship.4.2 Water penetration
10、 and leakage through masonry issignificantly affected by air pressure in the test chamber. Datafrom tests made at different pressures are not comparable.4.3 The performance of a masonry wall is a function ofmaterials, construction, wall design, and maintenance. Inservice the performance will also de
11、pend on the rigidity ofsupporting structure and on the resistance of components todeterioration by various causes, such as corrosion, vibration,thermal expansion and contraction, curing, and others. It isimpossible to simulate the complex conditions encountered inservice, such as variations in wind
12、velocity, negative pressure,and lateral or upward moving air and water. Factors such aslocation, exposure, and wall openings should be considered.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C15 onManufactured Masonry Units and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC15.04 on R

17、sts the same walldesign utilizing the same wall materials and the same construc-tion practices, variables such as the level of skill of the masonbuilding the specimen, the temperature and humidity in thelaboratory at the time of construction, curing of the specimen,the moisture contents of the mater
18、ials used to build thespecimen, and even the use or lack of use of a lime and waterwash on the back of the specimen can affect the results of thetest making reliable comparisons dubious. For these reasonsand the multi-variables listed in 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3, a meaningful,useful, absolute wall leakage
19、rating standard is impractical anddiscouraged.4.6 This test method is similar to but distinct from field TestMethod C1601. This laboratory test method is designed to testlaboratory fabricated wall specimens. Field Test MethodC1601 is designed to test in-situ walls. This test methodmeasures the water
20、 that has penetrated into and through themasonry specimen and is collected. Test Method C1601determines water penetration of the masonry at its surface.Results from Test Method C1601 and Test Method E514/E514M are not the same.5. Apparatus5.1 Test ChamberUse a test chamber similar to thatshown in Fi
21、g. 1 and Fig. 2. Provide an opening with aminimum area of 1.08 m212 ft2. For example, 900 mm36 in. wide and 1200 mm 48 in. high is suitable. Line theedges of the chamber in contact with the specimen with aclosed-cell compressible gasket material or appropriate sealant.Provide an observation port in
22、the face of the chamber. Providea 19.0-mm 34-in. diameter corrosion-resistant spray pipe witha single line of 1.0-mm 0.04-in. diameter holes spaced 25.0mm 1 in. apart.5.2 Fixtures and Appurtenances to ChamberFixtures andappurtenances to the chamber shall include an air line withmanometer, a water li
23、ne with valves, a flow meter andmanometer and a water drain pipe at the bottom of thechamber. Position the water spray pipe so that the waterimpinges the specimen not more than 75.0 mm 3.00 in. belowthe top of the test chamber.NOTE 1A drain pipe that discharges into a reservoir equipped with anadjus
24、table depth air outlet pipe and top baffles has been found to reducesurge.5.3 ManometerMeasure the air pressure in the chamberusing a manometer or other device capable of measuring airpressures of at least 51 mm 2.0 in. of water (71.7 kPa10.4 psf) to an accuracy of 2.5 mm 0.1 in. or 3.6 kPa 0.52psf.
25、 Connect the manometer or other device to the chamberaway from the air inlet so that the air flow will not significantlyinfluence the pressure reading.5.4 Other equipment includes devices for handling thespecimen and measuring time, water quantities, temperature,and humidity.FIG. 1 Isometric Project

Hazards6.1 The use of this test method will require careful designconsideration of both air chamber and support of the wallsystem to avoid possible injury due to equipment or specimenfailure.7. Temperature and Humidity Conditions7.1 Maintain the air in the labo
27、ratory at a temperature of 246 8C 75 6 15F and a relative humidity of 55 6 25 %.8. Test Specimens8.1 Masonry MaterialsMasonry and associated materialsshall be representative of the construction or the materials thatare being considered. Precondition all materials by storing inlaboratory environment
28、for not less than 5 days before use.8.2 Size of Test WallsThe height and length of thespecimen shall provide a minimum of 1.08 m212 ft2 exposedto the test, plus at least a 200-mm 8-in. overlap on all edges.The minimum height or length of the specimen shall be 1.22 m4 ft. The length of the specimen s
29、hall be such that at least onehead joint in each course of masonry is exposed to the test.8.3 Building Wall SpecimensConstruct the specimen us-ing methods and workmanship being considered for the work(Note 2). Build the wall specimen on an inverted steel channelsection as shown in Fig. 2 (Note 3). A
30、lso, as shown in Fig. 2,build a lower flashing and upper water trough as described in8.3.1 and 8.3.2.NOTE 2Standards for masonry construction are contained in thefollowing documents: ACI 530/ASCE 5/TMS 402 Building Code Re-quirements for Masonry Structures and ACI 530.1/ASCE 6/TMS 602Specifications
31、for Masonry Structures.NOTE 3The top of the wall may require bracing to be stable.8.3.1 Install a lower flashing into a mortar joint that is atleast one course below the upper water trough. Pass the lowerflashing completely through the wall, upturn it on the chamberside, and seal with a bead of caul
32、k. Project this lower flashingout from the backside of the wall with a u or v profile designedto funnel water that passes through the bottom of the wall intoa collection device.8.3.2 Install an upper water trough in the bed joint imme-diately below the bottom of the test chamber. Project the upperwa
33、ter trough no more than 25 mm 1.0 in., or no more than thethickness of a face shell, into a mortar joint on the backside ofthe wall. Project this upper water trough out from the backsideof the wall with a u or v profile designed to funnel water thatpenetrates through the wall above the trough into a
34、 separatecollection device.8.4 Number of SpecimensTest at least 3 specimens.8.5 Storage of SpecimensRetain specimens in the labora-tory during storage enclosed in an impervious plastic wrapimmediately after construction and cured in this manner for 7days. After 7 days, remove the wrap and continue c
35、uring for atleast 7 more days in laboratory air.9. Procedure9.1 Apply a 10-mm 38-in. minimum thick coat of mortarparging to all exposed surfaces of the specimen except the backside of the wall and the area enclosed by the test chamber.9.1.1 For walls constructed with solid units and for wallsconstru
36、cted with hollow units which are filled solid with groutor other materials, apply a minimum 10 mm 38 in. thick coatof mortar parging to the top surface of the specimen. For wallsFIG. 2 General Arrangement of Water Penetration Testing Chamber SystemE514/E514M 113with open cells or cavities, seal an i
37、mpervious material such asa transparent plastic sheet capable of withstanding the testpressure to the top of the wall to prevent evaporation or airmovement through the top of the wall. If the top covering isremoved to permit viewing or photographing inside these voidspaces, do not remove for longer
38、than 10 min per hour oftesting.NOTE 4Historically, 10 mm 38 in. thick mortar parging has beenused as an air and moisture barrier on all exposed surfaces except thebackside of the wall and the area enclosed by the test chamber.Alternativecoating materials may be used if they provide resistance to mov
39、ement ofair and moisture that is the same as or greater than the mortar parging.Research has found that typical parge coats of Specification C270proportioned mortars have air permeances in the approximate range of 7.53 10-4to 7.5 3 10-3l/(sm2)1.5 3 10-4to 1.5 3 10-3ft3/min/ft2 andwater vapor permean
40、ces of approximately 1400 to 3100 ng/(sm2Pa) 25to 55 perm. Using a coating as a substitute material may not beappropriate for highly irregular surfaces such as split face architecturalconcrete masonry units because of difficulty of obtaining a seal with thetest chamber. In those cases, a 10 mm 38 in
41、. thick parge coat of mortarprovides a smooth surface to facilitate establishment of a seal.NOTE 5A lime and water wash may be brush applied to back face ofthe wall to make moisture detection easier on dark surfaces. A portlandcement and water wash should not be used.9.2 Mounting ChamberPosition the
42、 test chamber on thespecimen and clamp firmly in place, compressing the gasket orapplying a sealant to form a seal.NOTE 6Too much clamping force could crack the specimen.9.3 Adjust the rate of water application to 138 L/m23.4gal/ft2 of wall per hour.9.4 Simultaneously with the application of water,
43、increasethe air pressure within the chamber. If the pressure is notspecified, apply a pressure of 500 Pa 10 lbf/ft2. Supplyslightly more air than is needed to maintain pressure andadjust, if necessary, to prevent excessive surge in the waterreservoir.9.5 Maintain the specified conditions for a perio
44、d of not lessthan 4 h.NOTE 7 Care should be taken in specifying the test duration. The testshould be long enough to permit evaluation of the materials, coatings,design, and workmanship.10.
