10、duction Where disputes over the appearance of clay brickwork arise they have traditionally been resolved with the assistance of Appendix F to BS 3921 which includes some general guidance and a means of comparing the appearance of sample panels built from a consignment of bricks with that of an agree

11、d reference panel at the start of the contract. When BS 3921 is withdrawn, Appendix F will no longer be available. This Publicly Available Specification is intended to supersede Appendix F by continuing to provide authoritative guidance, whilst removing reference to contractual arrangements and reta

12、ining a sample and reference panel approach to acceptability. Similarly, where disputes over the size or tolerance of clay bricks arise they have traditionally been resolved using the procedure in BS 3921 which will be superseded by BS EN 771-1 in due course. The BS 3921 procedure was to place 24 br

13、icks in a row and to measure the overall length, width or height of the row using a tape. This overall dimension was required to be within certain upper and lower limits. Although the bricks-in-a-row test was very practical and helpful and had been in use for some 50 years, the practice in the major

14、ity of European countries has been to control the dimensional tolerances of individual masonry units and it is this procedure that has been adopted as the reference in BS EN 771-1. The BS EN 771-1 measurement procedure is complex and the measuring equipment not readily amenable to site use. Conseque

15、ntly this Publicly Available Specification has been produced to give a simple site test that is intended to resolve most disputes without recourse to off site measurements and the use of long jaw callipers. In cases of dispute that cannot be resolved by these simple site procedures, it is recommende

16、d that the clay bricks are sampled in accordance with BS EN 771-1 and tested in accordance with BS EN 772-16, using the reference measuring procedure identified in BS EN 771-1. 1 Scope This Publicly Available Specification gives guidance on assessing the appearance of facing bricks, and the determin

17、ation of on-site measurements of work size dimensions, for all high density (HD) type clay bricks as defined by BS EN 771-1. It includes a procedure for comparing sample panels with reference panels in order to assess the appearance acceptability of consignments of clay facing bricks. It is not inte

18、nded to apply to common and engineering HD type clay bricks. It also provides a method of determining the overall dimensions of all clay bricks. The limits for the tolerance categories for the mean and range are those that apply to HD type clay bricks where the manufacturers declared work sizes are

19、those traditionally known as British Standard dimensions (UK standard format clay bricks). If clay bricks are supplied with other work sizes, the limits for these categories will need to be calculated in accordance with BS EN 771-1. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indis

20、pensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

28、e a consistency of appearance in the executed work 4 Appearance 4.1 General The definitions in Clause 3 are taken from, or based on, the relevant parts of BS 6100. In practice, the term in common usage and of the greatest relevance to the appearance of clay brickwork is facing brickwork, which is br

29、ickwork as defined in 3.1 made from facing units as defined in 3.4. In practice it is not possible to write a universally applicable definition of acceptable appearance of facing brickwork, as this will vary significantly with the type of clay brick chosen. The appearance of brickwork is additionall

30、y dependent on the choice of brick, mortar, joint profile and workmanship.PAS 70:2003 BSI 28 October 2003 3 The characteristics of the surface of the clay brick are relevant only in so far as they prohibit the achievement of the specified required appearance. Consequently cracks or chips in the expo

31、sed face or arrises of a smooth faced regular shaped brick used with a recessed mortar joint may be unacceptable, but a similar number of such features may be quite acceptable on a handmade product used with a flush joint. To illustrate the variety that can be achieved, some examples of different ap

32、pearances produced by different bricks and mortars are: a) smooth faced wire-cut brick with recessed joint and a flush joint; b) stock brick with recessed joint and a flush joint; c) effect of mortar variation; d) effect of not blending bricks; e) textured surfaces/multi-coloured facing bricks. 4.2

33、Principle The acceptability of minor defects such as cracks, chips or surface blemishes of clay facing bricks when delivered to site is assessed. Sample panels from the brick deliveries are compared with a previously constructed reference panel, which is representative of what may reasonably be expe

34、cted to be delivered, and is large enough to encompass known and acceptable variations in bricks. This method can be used to assess consistency of supply in respect of colour and texture. The panels are viewed from a distance of 3 m, which is sufficient to reliably compare their aesthetic characteri

35、stics. 4.3 Construction of the reference panel Erect the reference panel on a level, firm foundation in a dry location, having good natural daylight. It should be sited so that it can be retained for further inspection and reference and should, therefore, be protected from damage and adverse weather

36、 conditions. If necessary, provision should be made for ensuring lateral stability of the panel. The reference panel should be of a size agreed by all parties but not less than 1 m 2and the clay bricks should be: a) supplied by the manufacturer or supplier so that they are reasonably representative

37、of the average quality of the whole order to be delivered; or b) randomly sampled in accordance with BS EN 771-1. Build the reference panel to the specification and contract requirements of the finished work and so that it exposes for assessment those faces that will be visible in the finished work.

38、 Lay bricks to the bond selected for the finished work to the horizontal and vertical gauge proposed and using mortar of the same class and colour, and finished with the same joint profile. 4.4 Construction of the sample panels Either: a) construct sample panels representing individual batches in th

39、e same way and of the same size as the reference panel (see 4.3). Allow the mortar sufficient time to cure so that the appearance can be fairly judged, in a protected environment; NOTE Seven days is usually sufficient curing time. or b) construct a dry bonded sample panel using no mortar between the

40、 bricks. Comparison of this dry stacked sample panel to the reference panel (see 4.3) should take no account of the mortar profile, colour and texture. In the event of dispute, a mortared sample panel should be used for comparison purposes. The clay bricks used for each panel should be randomly samp

41、led from the batch delivered to the site in accordance with BS EN 771-1 prior to subsequent handling on site.PAS 70:2003 4 BSI 28 October 2003 4.5 Assessment Inspection of the sample panel should be carried out at any time prior to subsequent handling on site. When the sample panel is viewed at the

42、same distance as the reference panel, which is usually 3 m and without close scrutiny of individual bricks, the two panels should not differ significantly. It is important that the reference panel is agreed by all parties as having the appearance required of subsequent sample panels. In particular,

43、if the clay bricks are being supplied through a third party, the manufacturer should agree to supply bricks equivalent in appearance to those of the reference panel. 5 Dimensions and tolerances 5.1 Principle This guide includes two procedures for assessment of dimensions and tolerance, A and B. Proc

44、edure A is a rapid method for determining the tolerance category for the mean length, width and height dimension. The overall dimension for ten clay bricks laid together in a row is measured and the average value determined. The difference between this average value and the declared work size is com

45、pared with tabulated values for the two tolerance categories for mean dimensions, T1 and T2 in BS EN 771-1. Procedure B is used to determine the range class. Ten clay bricks are individually measured and the difference between the largest and the smallest for each dimension is compared to tabulated

46、values for the two tolerance categories for the range, R1 and R2 in BS EN 771-1. NOTE Although both procedures in this PAS are only calibrated for use with UK standard format clay bricks, other clay unit work dimensional formats can be dealt with in a similar way if tolerance recalibration is undert

49、 each dimension as shown in Figure 1. Measure the overall dimension (length, width and height) to the nearest millimetre, using a retractable rule (5.2.1), and record the result. Divide each respective overall measurement by 10 to obtain a mean value to the nearest millimetre.
