Sampling5.1 Selection of Test Specimens:5.1.1 For purposes of testing, full-sized units shall be selected by the purchaser or authorized representative. The selectedspecimens sh

26、all be of similar configuration and dimensions. Specimens shall be representative of the whole lot of units from whichthey are selected.5.2 Number of Specimens:5.2.1 Unless specified otherwise in the applicable annex, a set of units shall consist of six full-size units.5.3 Remove loose material from

27、 the specimens (including the cores) prior to determining the received weight.NOTE 3An abrasive stone or wire brush is typically used to remove loose material.5.4 IdentificationMark each specimen so that it may be identified at any time. Markings shall cover not more than 5 % of thesurface area of t

28、he specimen.5.5 Received WeightWeigh each specimen immediately after sampling and marking, and record as wr (received weight).Record time and place wr was measured.NOTE 4Received weights often have direct relationships with other unit properties and are therefore a useful method of evaluating result

29、s or forsorting purposes. The weight of a concrete masonry unit and related unit changes with time and exposure conditions, primarily as a result of the moisturewithin the unit. Therefore, to understand the context of a received weight value, it is also important to understand the point in time and

30、the frame ofreference when that weight was determined. “Time and place” should not refer to when and where the unit was sampled but when and where the receivedweights were determined. In addition to date and time references, it is also important to know if those weights were determined after units r

31、eachedequilibrium with lab environment, or before units were shipped, or after delivery to the job site, and so forth.6. Measurement of Dimensions6.1 Apparatus:6.1.1 Measurement DevicesDevices used to measure specimen dimensions shall have divisions not greater than 0.1 in.2.5 mm when the dimension

32、is to be reported to the nearest 0.1 in. 2.5 mm and not greater than 0.01 in. 0.25 mm when thedimension is to be reported to the nearest 0.01 in. 0.25 mm.6.1.2 Measuring devices shall be readable and accurate to the division required to be reported.Accuracy shall be verified at leastonce annually. V

33、erification record shall include date of verification, person or agency performing verification, identification ofreference standard used, test points used during verification, and readings at test points.6.2 SpecimensThree full-size units shall be selected for measurement of dimensions.6.3 Measurem

34、entsMeasure specimens in accordance with the applicable annex of this standard. For those products notcovered by the annexes of this standard, measure overall dimensions (width, height, length) in at least two locations on oppositesides of the specimen to the nearest division required to be reported

35、. Document location of each measurement on a sketch orphotograph of the specimen.NOTE 5Specimens used for measurement of dimensions may be used in other tests.NOTE 6Calipers, micrometers, and steel scales and dividers of the appropriate accuracy and readability have been shown to be adequate for the

36、semeasurements.7. Compressive Strength7.1 Test Apparatus:7.1.1 The testing machine shall have an accuracy of 61.0 % over the anticipated load range. The upper platen shall be aspherically seated, hardened metal block firmly attached at the center of the upper head of the machine. The center of the s

37、phereshall lie at the center of the surface held in its spherical seat but shall be free to turn in any direction, and its perimeter shall haveat least 0.25 in. 6 mm clearance from the head to accommodate specimens whose bearing surfaces are not parallel. The diameterof the upper platen (determined

38、in accordance with Annex A8) shall be at least 6 in. 150 mm. A hardened metal bearing platemay be used beneath the specimen to minimize wear of the lower platen of the machine.7.1.2 When the bearing area of the upper platen or lower platen is not sufficient to cover the area of the specimen, a singl

39、e steelplate with a thickness equal to at least the distance from the edge of the platen to the most distant corner of the specimen shallbe placed between the platen and the capped specimen. The length and width of the steel plate shall be at least 0.25 in. 6 mmgreater than the length and width of t

40、he units. See Annex A8 for information on determining the required minimum bearing platethickness, tBP. The provided bearing plate (when needed) shall have a thickness at least equal to the value of tBP as determinedin Annex A8.7.1.3 The surfaces of the platen or plate intended for contact with the

41、specimen shall have a hardness not less than HRC 60(BHN 620). The surfaces of the platen and plate shall not depart from plane surfaces by more than 0.001 in. 0.025 mm in any6 in. 150 mm dimension.NOTE 7Research has shown that thickness of bearing plates has a significant effect on the tested compre

42、ssive strength of masonry units when thebearing area of the platen is not sufficient to cover the area of the specimen. Plate bending results in nonuniform stress distributions that can influenceC140/C140M 17b3the failure mechanisms of the tested specimens. The magnitude of this effect is controlled

43、 by the stiffness of the plate, the size of the specimen tested,and the strength of the specimen. Tested compressive strengths will typically increase with increased plate thickness and with reduced distance to thefurthest corner of the specimen. Some testing laboratories have limitations that limit

44、 the practicality of eliminating plate bending entirely. Therefore theplate thickness requirements in 7.1 are intended to provide an adequate level of accuracy in the compression test results so as to conform to the limitsof practicality of the testing laboratory.7.1.4 The testing machine shall be v

45、erified in accordance with Practices E4 at a frequency defined by Practice C1093.7.2 Test Specimens:7.2.1 Unless specified otherwise in the applicable annex, test three specimens in compression.7.2.2 Unless specified otherwise in the applicable annex, specimens shall be full-sized units except when

46、the units cannot betested full-size due to specimen configuration or testing machine requirements. In these cases, reduce the specimen size inaccordance with Annex A1.7.2.3 After delivery to the laboratory, store compression specimens (unstacked and separated by not less than 0.5 in. 13 mmon all sid

47、es) continuously in air at a temperature of 75 6 15F 24 6 8C and a relative humidity of less than 80 % for not lessthan 48 h.Alternatively, if compression results are required sooner, store units unstacked in the same environment described abovewith a current of air from an electric fan passing over

48、 them for a period of not less than 4 h. Continue passing air over the specimensuntil two successive weighings at intervals of 2 h show an increment of loss not greater than 0.2 % of the previously determinedweight of the specimen and until no moisture or dampness is visible on any surface of the un

49、it. Specimens shall not be subjectedto oven-drying.NOTE 8In this test method, net area (other than certain solid units, see 9.5) is determined from specimens other than those subjected to compressiontesting. The compressive strength method is based on the assumption that units used for determining net volume (absorption specimens) have the samenet volume as units used for compression testing. Sampled split face units, which have irregular surfaces, should be divided at the time they are sampledfrom the lot, such that the absorpt
