CEN/TS:772-22:20064 1 Scope This Technical Specification specifies a method for determining the freeze/thaw resistance of clay masonry units that are declar
18、ed by the manufacturer as meeting the requirements for HD units and as suitable to be subjected to severe (F2) exposure. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
19、 references the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 771-1, Specification for Masonry Units Clay Masonry Units 3 Principle A panel of clay masonry units is assembled either from units which have been immersed in water for a prescribed period of time and wh
20、ich are separated from one another by a specified rubber jointing material or from units and rapid hardening mortar which when sufficiently hardened is immersed in water for a prescribed period of time. The panel is subsequently cooled for a specified period and the water near to one face is repeate
21、dly thawed and refrozen. Damage caused by the freezing and thawing action is assessed and used to determine the freeze/thaw resistance of the bricks. 4 Symbols mdis the mass of the specimen after drying, in grams (g) mw is the wet mass of the specimen, in grams (g) wmis the water absorption of an in

24、rced air circulation. A weighing instrument capable of weighing specimens to an accuracy of 1 g. A heat flow meter suitable for carrying out the calibration procedure. A suitable heat flow meter can be constructed by bonding an electrically heated resistance mat of appropriate rating to an aluminium
25、 plate of the same shape and size, typically 2 mm thick 200 mm 400 mm and a sheet of extruded polystyrene foam 100 mm thick (see Figure 1). The polystyrene sheet should be of sufficient size to fill the opening in the cabinet which is normally occupied by the test panel of masonry units. The alumini
26、um plate, which shall be painted matt black, is sealed to the centre of this opening with a thermocouple attached to its external surface CEN/TS:772-22:20065 at the approximate centre of the plate. The heated mat is connected to a continuously variable transformer with a means of measuring current a
27、nd voltage.

Sufficient units shall be sampled in order to construct a panel with a face which has a surface area of between 0,25 m2 and 0,5 m2. 7.2 Preliminary examination of specimens Each unit s
29、hall be numbered and examined. Any existing defects shall be noted. The descriptions given in Table 1 and shown diagrammatically in Annex A may be used for guidance. Only defects with a damage type 4 and above need be recorded. CEN/TS:772-22:20066 7.3 Conditioning of Specimens Water absorption may b
30、e determined using the method described in Annex B. If the construction method described in 8.2 i.e. with rubber joints is to be used, then each unit is placed in the tank of water at room temperature. That water is to be in contact with all faces of the unit and this may be achieved by the resting
31、of the units on small pads which act as spacers. The units are left submerged for 7 days. If the construction method described in 8.3 i.e. with mortar joints is to be used, the conditioning of the test panels shall be in accordance with 8.3.2. 8 Construction of test panel 8.1 General Test panels may
32、 be constructed using either foam rubber or mortar as jointing materials. However in cases of dispute the jointing medium should be the same as that upon which the declaration of the freeze/thaw category was based. NOTE Current scientific knowledge indicates that the results from tests carried out u
33、sing rubber or mortar for panel construction are, within the natural variation of results, the same. All faces of the panel except that exposed to freeze/thaw cycling conditions shall be enclosed in a close fitting jacket of extruded polystyrene foam with a density of less than or equal to 50 kg/m3.
34、 The minimum thickness of the jacket shall be 50 mm at the back and 25 mm around the perimeter of the test panel. The joint between the polystyrene outer wall and the test panel shall be finished so that melt water is prevented from running behind the test panel. This may be achieved by placing a la
35、yer of the foam rubber around the perimeter of the test panel. 8.2 Rubber Joints Remove the units from the water and assemble them into a panel using the closed pore foam rubber (10 mm 2 mm thick) as a jointing material. The units shall be arranged so that the vertical joints in one course are appro
36、ximately above the centre of a whole unit in the course beneath it (stretcher bond). Half units at the ends of courses shall be turned so that the uncut end of the unit (header) forms part of the face of the panel to be exposed to the freeze-thaw cycles. Sufficient units shall be used to construct a
37、 panel measuring between 0,25 m2 and 0,5m2. It is important that water does not enter the panel at the interfaces between the masonry units and the foam rubber. This may be prevented by lightly precompressing the panel horizontally and vertically using “T” bolts or eye bolts or similar which may be
38、tightened by hand. A typical panel is shown in Figure 2.

39、est panel 8.3 Mortar Joints 8.3.1 General Test panels shall be constructed from units and a rapid setting high alumina cement mortar with a cement: sand ratio of 1: 4 by volume. A typical panel is shown in Figure 2. The units shall be arranged so that the vertical joints in one course are approximat
40、ely above the centre of a whole unit in the course beneath it. Half units at the ends of courses shall be turned so that the end of the unit forms part of the face of the panel to be exposed to the freeze-thaw cycles. The mortar joints shall be finished with a steel tool to give a flush or bucket ha
41、ndled finish as shown in Figure 3. Sufficient units shall be used to construct a panel measuring between 0,25 m2 and 0,5 m2. NOTE There are advantages and disadvantages associated with both jointing mediums. Mortar is more realistic but requires the laboratory to have available a skilled mason and a
42、 means of lifting whole panels when they are saturated. Rubber joints may need sealing to prevent failures on the bed faces but are more easily assembled and can if necessary be dismantled after fewer than 100 cycles. It is also easier to freeze and thaw bricks the individual water absorption of whi
43、ch is known. CEN/TS:772-22:20068 8.3.2 Conditioning of Test Panels The test panel shall be allowed to cure in ambient laboratory conditions for 3 days and then completely immersed in a tank of water at room temperature for 7 days. 1213Key 1 Masonry unit 2 Flush finish to mortar joint 3 Bucket handle
44、d finish to mortar joint Figure 3 Joint Finish 9 Procedure 9.1 General The test regime for mortared panels should commence within 30 minutes of removing the panels from the soaking tank. If this time is exceeded up to a maximum of 4 h then steps shall be taken to limit the evaporation of water by pr
45、otection with thermoplastics sheeting. If 4 h is exceeded then the panel shall be replaced in the immersion tank for a minimum of 20 h and a maximum of 24 h. When the panel is installed in the apparatus it shall be preconditioned before the freeze/thaw cycling commences by spraying the face of the p
46、anel with a flood coat of water at ambient temperature at a rate of 6 0,5 l/min.metre width of test panel for 15 min 1 min. Ensure an unbroken flood coat of water through the use of a linear nozzle array at the top of the vertical test panel. Ensure that water does not enter the panel through the to
47、p of the panel. The test regime for rubber panels should commence within 2 h after removing the samples from the soaking tank, alternatively steps shall be taken to prevent drying of the test panels. This can be done by covering them with a plastic sheet or by storing them in a condition of 95 % RH.
48、 Place the test panel in the test apparatus. Spray the panel to be tested with water at ambient temperature at a rate of 6 0,5 l/min.metre width of test panel for 15 min 1 min. Ensure an unbroken flood coat of water through the use of a linear nozzle array near the top of the vertical test panel. En
49、sure that water does not enter the panel through the top of the panel. CEN/TS:772-22:20069 9.2 Freeze/Thaw Cycling 9.2.1 General During the freezing and thawing periods the temperature distributions over the exposed face of the panel and the rates of heat transfer shall be defined in 9.2.2 and 9.2.3. The panel is subjected to 100 freeze/thaw cycles and any damage is assessed as described in 9.3 and 10.1. 9.2.2 Freezing period The first freezing period shall last for 6 h 5 min. Each following freezing period shall be for 120 min ( 5 min). The air
