COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TESTA1.1 Preparation of SpecimensA1.1.

41、1 DryingDry the specimen at least 16 h in a venti-lated oven at a temperature between 230 and 240F (110 and115C) and until two successive weighings at intervals of notless than 3 h show a weight loss at any weighing not greaterthan 0.1 % of the original weight of the specimen.A1.2 Capping Test Speci

42、mensA1.2.1 If the filter block surfaces that will become bearingsurfaces during the compression test are recessed or paneled,fill the depressions with mortar composed of 1 part by weightof quick-hardening portland cement conforming to the require-ments of Type III cement of Specification C150/C150M

43、and 2parts by weight of sand before capping them. Where thedepression exceeds12 in. (13 mm), fill the depression witheither a brick or tile slab section or a metal plate beforeapplying the mortar. Cap the test specimens using the follow-ing procedures.A1.2.2 Coat the two opposite bearing surfaces of

44、 eachspecimen with shellac and allow to dry thoroughly. Bed one ofthe dry shellacked surfaces of the specimen in a thin coat ofneat paste of calcined gypsum (plaster of paris) that has beenspread on an oiled nonabsorbent casting plate such as glass ormachined metal. The casting plate shall be a plan

45、e within 0.003in. (0.08 mm) in 16 in. (405 mm) and sufficiently rigid andsupported that it will not deflect measurably during the cappingoperation. Repeat this procedure with the other shellackedsurface. Take care that the opposite bearing surfaces so formedwill be approximately parallel and perpend

46、icular to the verticalaxis of the specimen and that the thickness of the caps will beC159 06 (2016)3approximately the same and not exceeding18 in. (3 mm). Agethe caps at least 24 h before testing the specimens.A1.3 ProcedureA1.3.1 Test the filter block specimens in a position such thatthe load is ap

47、plied in the same direction as in service. Centerthe specimens under the spherical upper bearing within116 in.(1.6 mm).A1.3.2 The testing machine shall conform to the require-ments of Practices E4.A1.3.3 The upper bearing shall be a spherically seated,hardened metal block firmly attached at the cent

48、er of the upperhead of the machine. The center of the sphere shall lie at thecenter of the surface of the block in contact with the specimen.The block shall be closely held in its spherical seat, but shall befree to turn in any direction, to allow for specimens whosebearing surfaces are not exactly

49、parallel. The diameter of thebearing block surface shall be at least 5 in. (125 mm). Whenthe bearing area of the spherical bearing block is not sufficientto cover the area of the specimen, place a steel plate with athickness equal to at least one third of the distance from theedge of the spherical bearing to the most distant corner of thecapped specimen. Use a hardened metal bearing block beneaththe specimen to minimize wear of the lower platen of themachine. The bearing block surfaces intended for contact withthe specimen should have a hard
