It is identical with IS0 105453 : 1995, including its Technical Corrigendum 1
10、 : 1997, published by the International Organization for Standardization USO). It supersedes BS 6431 : Part 11 : 1983, which will be withdrawn when Parts 1 to 16 of BS EN IS0 10545 have all been published. This Part of BS EN IS0 10545 was originally drafted by CEN/rC 67, Ceramic tiles, as EN 99, pub
11、lished in 1982, and conrmed in 1991. Subsequently the European Standard was revised by IS0 as a Part of IS0 10545, which has now been approved by CEN as a Part of EN IS0 10545. The technical changes from the method described in BS 6431 : Part 11 are as follows. Additional methods are included for de
12、termination of the apparent porosity, apparent relative density and bulk density. Impregnation of the tiles with water may be achieved by boiling or under vacuum. Classifcation of tiles for specification purposes is to be made using the boiling method. After the vacuum impregnated tiles have been we
13、ighed in air, they are weighed again in water. This further step enables the additional properties to be calculated. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i an

24、 that there is a depth of 5 cm of water (3.5) above and below the tiles. Maintain the water level at 5 cm above the tiles throughout the test.

Prepare the chamois leather (3.7) by wetting and wringing out by hand. Place it on a flat surface and lightly dry each side of each tile in turn. Dab any

Immediately after this procedure, weigh each tile and record the results to the same accuracy as for the dry state see table 1). 5.1.2 Vacuum method Place the tiles vertically, with no contact between them, in the vacuum chamber (3.10). Evacuate to a pressu

Release the vacuum and allow the tiles to remain submerged for 15 min. Prepare the chamois leather (3.7) by wetting and wringing out by hand. Place it on a fl

Carry out weighing by placing the specimen in a wire loop, halter, or basket (3.8) that is suspended from one arm of the balance (3.4). Before actually weighing, counterbalance the scale with the
