36、r similar protecting against drying for (24 1) h to equilibrate. The main test specimens are subjected to repeated freezing at (15 2) C for at least 8 h followed by thawing in an environment of 95 % relative humidity and (20 2) C for at least 8 h. The reference test specimens are stored in a climati
37、c chamber at (20 5) C in conditions that prevent drying of the AAC during storage. After the specified number of freeze-thaw cycles (not less than 15), the mass loss of the main test specimens is determined. The dry density and moisture content is also determined on the reference test specimens. If
38、the loss in compressive strength is also required to be determined, then Annex A should be followed. NOTE Depending on the conditions at the place of use, the number of freeze-thaw cycles and requirements for limit values of loss in mass and compressive strength can be specified by national provisio

NOTE The room according to 5.6 needs not necessarily be humidity-controlled. Alternatively it is possible to substitute moisture losses by 2 h prior to the end of
43、the thawing period placing the main test specimens in underwater storage for 1 h at (20 5) C and subsequently leaving the test specimens to equilibrate in air for 1 h at (20 5) C before freezing. This procedure is especially appropriate in combination with automatic systems. It should be ensured tha

The main test specime
46、ns are exposed to a specified number of freeze-thaw cycles in accordance with 7.1, and their loss in mass (see 8.3) and, if required, their loss in compressive strength due to this exposure is determined (see A.3 and A.4). The reference test specimens are used for determination of the moisture conte
47、nt of the AAC prior to the freeze-thaw test and of the dry density and, if required, for the determination of the (control) compressive strength. NOTE Prior to the test a control specimen is needed for each AAC type to evaluate the freeze-thaw temperature-time relationship of the test equipment, see
48、 7.1. 6.4 Preparation of test specimens The test specimens shall be cut by means of a rotating diamond or carborundum blade or similar equipment. Their surfaces shall not deviate from planeness by more than 0,5 mm. Planeness shall be checked across the two diagonals using a straight edge and, if nec
49、essary, a 0,5 mm feeler gauge. Where test specimens are used for the determination of the compressive strength, their loadbearing surfaces shall not deviate from planeness by more than 0,1 mm and the angle between the loadbearing surfaces and adjacent surfaces shall not deviate from a right angle by more than 1 mm/100 mm. If necessary, the latter shall be checke
