Significance and Use4.1 These test methods provide general testing requirements for application to a broad ran

19、ge of concrete products. Those generaltesting requirements are included in the body of this standard.NOTE 2Consult manufacturer, supplier, product specifications, or other resources for more specific measurement or testing guidelines for thoseproducts not addressed with the annex of this standard.4.

20、2 These test methods provide specific testing requirements in two distinct sections, the requirements applicable to all unitscovered by these test methods and those applicable to the specific unit types. The requirements applicable to all units are includedin the body of these test methods and those

21、 applicable to the specific unit types are included within the annexes.2For referenced ASTM standards, visit the ASTM website, www.astm.org, or contact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.

22、STM website.C140 1125. 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 shall be of similar configuration and dimensions. Specimens shall be representative of the whole lot

23、of units from whichthey are selected.5.1.2 The term “lot” refers to any number of concrete masonry units of any configuration or dimension manufactured by theproducer using the same materials, concrete mix design, manufacturing process, and curing method.5.2 Number of Specimens:5.2.1 Unless specifie

24、d otherwise in the applicable annex, a set of units shall consist of six full-size units.5.2.2 Unless specified otherwise in the applicable annex, for the compressive strength, absorption, unit weight (density), andmoisture content determinations, one set of units shall be selected from each lot of

25、10 000 units or fraction thereof and two setsof units from each lot of more than 10 000 and less than 100 000 units. For lots of more than 100 000 units, one set of units shallbe selected from each 50 000 units or fraction thereof contained in the lot. Additional specimens shall be taken if directed

26、 by thepurchaser.5.3 Remove loose material from 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

27、cover not more than 5 % of thesurface area of the specimen.5.5 Received WeightWeigh each specimen immediately after sampling and marking, and record as Wr(received weight).Record time and place Wrwas measured.NOTE 4Received weights often have direct relationships with other unit properties and are t

28、herefore a useful method of evaluating results 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 i

29、mportant to understand the point in time and 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 i

30、f those weights were determined after units reachedequilibrium 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 g

31、reater than 0.1 in. (2.5mm) when the dimension 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 reporte

32、d.Accuracy shall be verified at leastonce annually. Verification record shall showinclude date of verification, person or agency performing verification, identificationof reference standard used, test points used during verification, and readings at test points.6.2 SpecimensThree full-size units sha

33、ll be selected for measurement of dimensions.6.3 MeasurementsMeasure 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

34、 specimen to the nearest division required to be reported. 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 accura

35、cy and readability have been shown to be adequate for thesemeasurements.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 cen

36、ter of the upper head of the machine. The center of the sphereshall 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 least14 in. (6.3 mm) clearance from the head to accommodate specimens whose bearing surfaces are

37、not parallel. The diameterof the upper platen (determined 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

38、is not sufficient to cover the area of the specimen, a single 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

39、at least14 in. (6 mm) greaterthan the length and width of the units.7.1.3 The surfaces of the platen or plate intended for contact with the specimen shall have a hardness not less than HRC 60C140 113(BHN 620). The surfaces of the platen and plate shall not depart from plane surfaces by more than 0.0

40、01 in. (0.03 mm) in any 6in. (150 mm) dimension.NOTE 7Research has shown that thickness of bearing plates has a significant effect on the tested compressive strength of masonry units when thebearing area of the platen is not sufficient to cover the area of the specimen. Plate bending results in nonu

41、niform stress distributions that can influencethe failure mechanisms of the tested specimens. The magnitude of this effect is controlled 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 increase

42、d plate thickness and with reduced distance to thefurthest corner of the specimen. Some testing laboratories have limitations that limit the practicality of eliminating plate bending entirely. Therefore theplate thickness requirements in 7.1 are intended to provide an adequate level of accuracy in t

43、he compression test results so as to conform to the limitsof practicality of the testing laboratory.NOTE 8AnnexA8 includes guidance on determining the required plate thickness based on the configuration of the test specimen and the test machine.7.1.4 The testing machine shall be verified in accordan

44、ce 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 When possible and unless specified otherwise in the applicable annex, specimens shall be full-sized units. When the uni

45、tscannot be tested full-size due to specimen configuration or testing machine requirements, reduce the specimen size in accordancewith Annex A1.7.2.3 After delivery to the laboratory, store compression specimens (unstacked and separated by not less than 0.5 in. (13 mm)on all sides) continuously in a

46、ir 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 them for a period

47、 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 unit. Specimens shal

48、l not be subjectedto oven-drying.NOTE 9In this test method, net area (other than certain solid units, see 9.4) 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 (absorpt

49、ion 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 absorption test specimens have a net volume that is visually representative and a weight that is representative of the compressiontest specimens.7.2.4 Where saw-cutting of test specimens is allowed or required by the standard or applicable annex, sawing shall be performedin an accurate, competent manner, subjecting the specimen to as little saw vib
