Test Specimens7.1 The test specimens may be cubes or right cylinders andshall be cut from the sample with saws or core drills. Thediamete

16、r or lateral dimension (distance between oppositevertical surfaces) shall be not less than 2 in. 50 mmdimensional to accommodate variations in the grain size orcomposition of the sample (Explanatory Note 1).7.2 The ratio of height (the distance between the surfaces incontact with the testing apparat

17、us) to the diameter or lateraldimension shall be between 0.9:1.0 and 1.1:1.0 (ExplanatoryNote 2).7.3 The sides of the specimen shall be smooth and straightto within 0.02 in. 0.5 mm over the full height of the specimen.7.4 The two load bearing surfaces in contact with the testingapparatus shall have

18、a fine abrasive finish, and the othersurfaces shall have a fine sawn finish. They shall be finished bygrinding to as nearly true and parallel planes as practicable(Explanatory Note 3). The surfaces in contact with the testingapparatus shall be ground or lapped to a flatness tolerance ofplus or minus

19、 0.005 in. 0.1 mm, and shall not depart fromperpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the specimen by morethan 0.25 deg. (Explanatory Note 4).7.5 At least five specimens shall be prepared for each testcondition. Final test conditions are determined by the projectconditions and specified with the tes

20、ting request. Typically,testing includes wet and dry conditions both perpendicular andparallel to the stone rift (plane of easiest splitting, typicallyconsistent with the bedding plane orientation), requiring aminimum of 20 specimens. Fig. 2a and Fig. 2b illustrate theproper placement of test specim

21、ens within a testing apparatusfor the two most common rift orientations.7.6 The load-bearing surfaces and the direction of rift shallbe marked on each specimen.7.7 Use of capping materials or end surfacing treatmentsother than grinding shall not be permitted.8. Conditioning8.1 Before testing the spe

22、cimens in a dry condition, drythem for 48 h at 140 6 4F 60 6 2C. At the 46th, 47th, and48th h, weigh the specimens to ensure that the weight is thesame. If the weight continues to drop, continue to dry thespecimens until there are 3 successive hourly readings with thesame weight. After removing the

23、specimens from the oven,cool them to room temperature in a desiccator before testingthem.8.2 Before testing the specimens in a wet condition, im-merse them in water for 48 h at 72 6 4F 22 6 2C. Testthem immediately upon removal from the bath, wiping thespecimens free of surface water.9. Procedure9.1

24、 The load-bearing area of each specimen shall be calcu-lated from measurements taken midway between the surfacesin contact with the testing apparatus and calculated to thenearest 0.1 in.260 mm2. An alternate approach for determin-ing the load-bearing area is to calculate the areas of the top andbott

25、om bearing surfaces to the nearest 0.1 in.260 mm2 andaverage these values.9.2 Center the specimens in the testing machine and applyan initial seating load that will hold the specimen in place butstill permit hand adjustment of the contact plate on thespecimen. Rotate the contact plate back and forth

26、 through anangle of approximately 30 deg. to properly seat the sphericalblock, but do not move the specimen out of the central position.9.3 Apply load at a uniform rate not exceeding 100 psi/s0.5 MPa/s.9.4 Apply the load until specimen failure. Failure of thespecimen is defined as the inability of t

27、he specimen to resistadditional load.FIG. 1 Diagram of a Specimen Properly Aligned within a TestingApparatus Suitable for Compressive Strength Testing(a) Loading Perpendicular to Bedding Plane or Rift (b) Loading Parallel to Bedding Plane or RiftFIG. 2 Orientation of Specimen in a Testing Apparatus

Keywords13.1 compressive strength; dimension stone; stone; testEXPLANATORY NOTESNOTE 1For very coarse-grain materials like some of the granites, thediameter of the specimen should not be less than 2.5 in. 65 mm.NOTE 2The compressive strength of dimension stone has historicallybeen determine

35、d on cube specimens with a height to lateral dimensionproportion 1:1. This specimen shape differs from the standard shapespecimens for determination of compressive strength of rock specimensrequired by Test Method D7012. Variation from the required cubespecimen, dimensions, and height of lateral dim

36、ension proportions of 1:1has been found to result in significant variations in compressive strengthvalues. Comparison with compressive strength of rock specimens deter-mined by Test Method D7012 requires the use of correction factors. Forconsistency with historical compressive strength values determ

37、ined byC170/C170M and industry practices, this standard does not allow fordeviation from the required specimen shape and dimensions.NOTE 3Accuracy of test results depends largely on uniform distribu-tion of the load over the bearing faces. In order to grind the surfaces toreasonably true planes, con

38、siderable care is necessary. the followingprocedure is suggested: Assuming that the specimen is a cube or cylinderand the load is to be applied to the ends; mark two adjacent sides forreference, then grind the ends on a grinding wheel or lap until they areperpendicular to these reference sides as ga

39、ged by a machinist square.Complete the grinding by rubbing the ends on a smooth machine-planedsurface of a cast iron plate with No. 80 emery and water. The specimenshould be grasped as near the surface of the plate as possible to preventrocking of the specimen. A satisfactory mechanical means of fin

40、ishing thebearing surfaces of the specimens is to place them in a chuck in a lathe andsurface the ends with a tool post grinder. This grinder consists of a smallmotor and arbor carrying an abrasive wheel which turns at about 5000r/min. A three-point chuck is used to permit the surfacing of cylindric

41、al,square prism, or cubical specimens. When the square-type specimen isused it will be necessary to place a small piece of notched metal betweenthe specimen and one chuck point. This causes the specimen to be placedsomewhat off-center but does not interfere with the surfacing process. Thesurface can

42、 be tested for flatness by holding a straightedge on the surfaceand viewing it before a strong light. Specimens finished in this waycommonly give considerably higher test results than specimens preparedby hand.NOTE 4Prepared specimens should meet the required tolerances fortesting. Deviation from th

43、ese tolerances can have a measurable impact onthe test results and produce values that under or over-estimate thecompressive strength of the stone. For procedures helpful in verifyingtolerances are being met, refer to Practices D4543.C170/C170M 15a3ASTM International takes no position respecting the
