26、3 EN 12370:1999 BSI 08-1999 Introduction This test is designed to assess the salt crystallization resistance of natural stones where it is considered relevant. The test can not be used in isolation and results will be considered with other physical tests to indicate durability, these include prEN 12
27、371, Determination of frost resistance. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a test method to assess the relative resistance of natural stones with an open porosity of greater than 5 %, measured in accordance with EN 1936, to damage caused by the crystallization of salts. The test is not necessa
28、ry for low porosity stones. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. The normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subseque
29、nt amendments to or revisions of any of these incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

30、71, Natural stone test methods Determination of frost resistance. prEN 12440, Denomination of natural stone. 3 Principle After drying to constant mass, the specimen is immersed in a solution of sodium sulfate, dried and allowed to cool to room temperature. This cycle is carried out 15 times and the
31、percentage mass change measured. 4 Symbols M d is the mass of the dried specimen, in grams. M d1 is the mass of the dried specimen with label before first cycle, in grams. M f is the mass of the dried specimen with label, after 15 cycles, in grams. DM is the relative difference of masses before and
32、after testing (mass loss or mass gain), in percent. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Ventilated oven, capable of maintaining a temperature of (105 5)8C. 5.2 Weighing instrument, capable of weighing the specimens to 0,00l g. 5.3 Room or water bath, capable of maintaining the temperature of the specimens and solution
33、to (20 0,5)8C. 5.4 14 % solution of sodium sulfate decahydrate, (i.e. 14 g of Na 2 SO 4 .10H 2 O for every 86 g de-ionised water). The density of this solution at 208C is 1 055 kg/m 3 . 6 Preparation of specimens 6.1 Sampling Sampling is not the responsibility of the test laboratory except where spe
34、cially requested. At least six test specimens, which are considered representative of the body of stone being tested, shall be selected. 6.2 Dimensions of test specimens Cubes of (40 l) mm sides shall be prepared. Specimens shall be wet diamond sawn and any surface irregularities removed by grinding
35、. 6.3 Washing All loose material shall be washed from the surface of the specimen using potable water. 6.4 Drying The specimens are to be dried in an oven at a temperature (105 5)8C until a constant mass is reached. This is assumed to have been attained when the difference between two weighings at a
36、n interval of (24 2) h is not greater than 0,1 % of the first weighing. They are then allowed to cool to room temperature and weighed to 0,01 g (M d ). Each specimen is then labelled with a durable tag that is wired on to the cube. The specimen is then re-weighed to 0,01 g (M d1 ). 7 Procedure The p
37、rocedure entails the use of a 14 % solution of sodium sulfate decahydrate. The density of the solution shall be checked prior to use. The solution shall only be used for one test cycle. Each of the dried specimens is placed in a 250 ml container and covered with the sodium sulfate solution to a dept
38、h of (8 2) mm above the top of the specimen and the container covered to reduce evaporation. Alternatively, the specimens may be placed in a single container provided that there is a minimum of 10 mm between specimens and at least 20 mm between the specimens and the sides of the container. The speci
39、mens are then left to soak for 2 h at (20 0,5)8C. NOTE Changing the soaking temperature can markedly affect the results.Page 4 EN 12370:1999 BSI 08-1999 After immersion the specimens are removed from the solution and dried in an oven. The oven shall be arranged to provide a high relative humidity in
40、 the early stages of drying and to raise the temperature of the specimens to (105 5)8C in not less than 10 h and not more than 15 h. The initial high relative humidity may be obtained by placing a tray of water in the cold oven, and switching on the heater for (30 5) min before putting in the specim
41、ens; (300 25) ml has been found to be adequate in an oven capable of holding 48 specimens, for example a 125 l capacity. The specimens are left in the oven for at least 16 h and then they are cooled at room temperature for (2,0 0,5) h before resoaking in fresh sodium sulfate solution. The cycle of o
42、peration is carried out 15 times in all, except when the specimens break up before this. After the 15th cycle the specimens are removed from the oven and stored for (24 1) h in water at (23 5)8C, finally, they are washed thoroughly with flowing water. The specimens are weighed after drying to consta
43、nt mass (as in 6.4) if they are sufficiently coherent. If the test is to be interupted at any time, the specimens are to be left in the oven at (105 5)8C. 8 Expression of results The results are expressed as relative mass difference DM (mass loss or gain) as a percentage of the initial dry mass M d
44、or as the number of cycles required to induce failure if the specimen is too shattered to weigh after the final drying. DM = 3 100 M f 2 M d1 M d If failure has occurred or the specimen has fractured during testing, then this shall be recorded together with the number of completed cycles of testing.
45、 A photographic record of the initial and final condition shall be made. 9 Test report The test report shall contain the following information: a) unique identification number for the report; b) the number, title and date of issue of this European Standard; c) the name and address of the test labora
46、tory and the address of where the test was carried out if different from the test laboratory; d) the name and address of the client; e) it is the responsibility of the client to supply the following information: the petrographic name of the stone; the commercial name of the stone in accordance with
47、prEN 12440; the country and region of extraction; the name of the supplier; the direction of any existing plane of anisotropy (if relevant to the test) to be clearly indicated on the sample or on each specimen by means of two parallel lines; the name of the person or organization which carried out t
48、he sampling; the surface finish of the specimens (if relevant to the test); f) the date of delivery of the sample or of the specimens; g) the date when the specimens were prepared (if relevant) and the date of testing; h) the number of specimens in the sample; i) the dimensions of the specimens; j)

The test report shall contain the signature(s) and role(s) of the responsible(s) for the testing and the date of issue of the report. It shall also state that the report shall not be partially reproduced without the written consent of the test laboratory.blankBS EN 1237
