7、e water repellentare sealed with an impervious sealing material. The specimensare weighed and immersed in water. The specimens areremoved from the water, weighed, and a percent water absorp-tion is calculated.4. Significance and Use4.1 Researchers in the field of water repellent coatings haverecogni
8、zed the need for a standardized test for determining theperformance of water repellents applied to structures in thefield. Many coating manufacturers supply warranties for theirproducts based on maintaining a specific water repellency onconcrete. This test method can be used to determine theeffectiv
9、e water repellency of the coating by comparing itsperformance to a control uncoated specimen.5.

Instead use the sealing material to completely seal thespecimen, top, bottom and sides.6.3 Follow the procedures of Section 9
16、, except completelysubmerged the specimens so that the water level is 25.4 mm(1.0 in.) over the top of the specimen.6.4 After the specimens have been submerged in water for48 h, acceptable sealing materials shall have a percent absorp-tion of less then 0.1 %.NOTE 2It is recommended to recheck the se
17、aling material if a newbatch is used or if the formulation of the sealing material has changed.7. Test Specimen7.1 Typical test specimens are hardened concrete cores,approximately 7.0 cm (2.75 in.) in diameter and 7.5 cm (2 to 3in.) in length. A minimum of three cores for each test shall beused. Cor
18、es should be pulled in such a manner as not todamage the integrity of the surface. See Test Method C42/C42M for guidance.8. Preparation of Specimens8.1 Clean the sides and both faces of the specimens of allloose dust or cement paste from the core drilling process. Usecompressed air or water and a so
19、ft brush only, more vigorouscleaning methods may damage some water repellent coatings.8.2 Dry the specimens in a forced draft oven for 24 h at75C 6 5C (167 F 6 9F) until two successive weighings atintervals of 2 h show an increment of loss not greater than0.2 % of the last previously determined weig
20、ht.8.3 After drying, remove the specimens from the oven andallow them to cool to room temperature under ambientconditions (see Specification D3924). Weigh each specimen tothe nearest 0.1 g and record weight as WA.8.4 Prepare sufficient wax or epoxy material to adequatelycoat all the specimens. If us
21、ing wax, melt enough in a suitablecontainer or if using a two-component coating, mix quantitiesthat can be applied during the pot-life of the coating.8.5 To keep the sealing material from contaminating thetreated top surface and the bottom untreated surface of thespecimen, place duct tape over these
22、 areas and cut the tapearound the circumference so that there is no overlap on thelongitudinal sides of the core.8.6 Apply the sealing material to the specimens by eitherplacing the longitudinal side of the specimen in the sealingmaterial (place enough sealing material in the container so it isat le
23、ast to a depth of 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) and roll the specimentwo to three revolutions, or brush on the sealing material. Becareful not to get any of the sealing material on the treated face.8.7 Remove the specimen from the sealing material andplace treated specimen face up on a firm surface.8.8 Repeat 8
24、.5 and 8.6 after 3 min have elapsed.8.9 Carefully remove the duct tape from the specimen.8.10 Using a brush apply sealing material to any pin holesor holidays that appear in the coating. Allow some of thesealing material to overlap the specimens top edge.NOTE 3Specimens removed by core drilling may
25、have top surfacesthat are chipped. These areas should be coated with the sealing materialsince some or all of the water repellent may of been removed in theseareas.8.11 Allow the specimens to cool to room temperature.8.12 When specimens are cooled to room temperaturerecheck for any pin holes and app

Specimens should be placed on glassrods that are in the bottom of container so water is free tocirculate un
27、der the specimens.9.3 Fill container with reagent grade water until level is 6.4cm (2.5 in.) from the top of the glass rods. Water shall not comein contact with opposite face of the core.9.4 Soak the cores for 48 h. At the 24 and 48-h immersionperiod, remove the specimens from the water and wipe wit
