30、 immersed in (3 1) mm of water on one of its sides (never the worked side) and the increase in mass is measured as a function of time. 4 Symbols m d mass of the dry specimen, in grams; m i successive masses of the specimen during testing, in grams; A area of the side immersed in water, in square met
31、res; t i times elapsed from the beginning of the test until the times at which the successive masses m i were measured, in seconds; C 1 water absorption coefficient by capillarity perpendicular to the planes of anisotropy of the stone, in grams per square metre per square root of seconds; C 2 water
32、absorption coefficient by capillarity parallel to the planes of anisotropy of the stone, in grams per square metre per square root of seconds. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Covered tank, with flat base comprising small non-oxidizing and non-absorbent supports for the specimens. 5.2 Device, able to maintain a cons
33、tant water level in the tank, described in 5.1. 5.3 Time counter, with an accuracy of 1 s. 5.4 Ventilated oven, which can maintain a temperature of (70 5)8C. 5.5 Weighing instrument, with an accuracy of 0,01 g. 5.6 Linear measuring device, with an accuracy of 0,05 mm. 5.7 Air conditioned room, with
34、(20 5)8C. 6 Preparation of the specimens 6.1 Sampling Sampling is not the responsibility of the test laboratory except where especially requested. At least six specimens shall be selected from a homogenous batch and tested for each direction of rise of water in relation to the position of any anisot
35、ropy planes (e.g. bedding planes, foliation, etc.) which shall be marked on all specimens by at least two parallel lines. The specimens shall be rough cut or may have one or two polished or honed faces. These faces are to be placed vertically (the worked face shall never be the immersed face). 6.2 D
36、imensions of the test specimens The test specimens shall be cubes with (70 5) mm or (50 5) mm edge or right circular cylinders whose diameter and height are equal to (70 5) mm or (50 5) mm. 6.3 Drying the specimens The test specimens are to be dried to constant mass in a ventilated oven at a tempera
37、ture of (70 5)8C. Constant mass is reached when the difference between two successive weighings at an interval of (24 2) h is not greater than 0,1 % of the mass of the specimen. The specimens shall be kept in a desiccator until room temperature (20 5)8C is attained.Page 4 EN 1925:1999 BSI 08-1999 Le

39、Weigh the specimens after drying (m d ) to an accuracy of 0,01 g and calculate the area of the base to be immersed by measurement of two medians to the nearest 0,1 mm. Express this area in square metres. Place the specimens in the tank on the thin supports provided such that they only rest partially
40、 on their base. Ensure that the position of the planes of anisotropy in relation to the rising water matches the requirements. Immerse the base in the water to a depth of (3 1) mm. Start the timer device. Maintain the water level constant throughout the test by adding water as necessary, and close t
41、he container to avoid evaporation of the damp specimens. At time intervals, initially very short then longer, remove each specimen in succession, lightly dry the immersed part using a damp cloth to remove all water droplets and weigh immediately to the nearest 0,01 g, then replace in the container.
42、Record the time elapsed since the start of the test until the time of each weighing. NOTE The choice of times depends on the type of stone. For a highly absorbent stone, suitable times t 1 are: 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 480 and 1 440 min. For a low absorption stone, suitable times are: 30, 60, 180, 4
43、80, 1 440, 2 880 and 4 320 min. These times will be measured with an accuracy of 5 %. A minimum of 7 measurements is necessary. The end of the test is reached when the differences between two successive weighings is not greater than 1 % of the mass of water absorbed by the specimen. 8 Expression of
44、results Show as a graph the mass of water absorbed in grams divided by the area of the immersed base of the specimen in square metres as a function of the square root of time expressed in seconds. NOTE 1 In general, graphs are obtained as shown in Figure 1. These can be approximated by two straight
45、lines. If the correlation coefficient between the measured points of the first part of the graph and the regression straight line of this first part is respectively greater than 0,90 (when at least five measurements were taken in the first part of the graph) or than 0,95 (when only four measurements
46、 were taken), the coefficient of water absorption by capillarity C 1 or C 2 (in grams per square metre per square root of time in seconds) is represented by the slope of the C 1 respectively C 2 regression line. It can be calculated as the ratio between the ordinate and abscissa of any point of this
47、 line using the following formula: C 1 or C 2 = m i 2 m d A. t i The obtained values of C 1 or C 2 are expressed to three significant figures. NOTE 2 This approximate formula cannot be used if the correlation coefficient between the measured points of the first part of the graph and the regression s
48、traight line of this part is not satisfactory (see above). Annex A (informative) gives an equation more appropriate for this kind of test result.Page 5 EN 1925:1999 BSI 08-1999 9 Test report The test report shall contain the following information: a) unique identification number of the report; b) th
