19、 1.1:1.0 (Explanatory Note 2).7.3 The sides of the specimen shall be smooth and straight to 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 testing apparatus shall have a fine abrasive finish, and the other surfacesshall have a fine s

If the weight continues to drop, continue to dry the specimensuntil there are 3 successive hourly readings with the same weight.After removing the specimens from the oven, cool them to roomtem

Procedure9.1 The load-bearing area of each specimen shall be calculated from measurements taken midway between the surfaces incontact with the testing apparatus and calculated to the nearest 0.1 in.260 mm2. An alternat

27、e approach for determining theload-bearing area is to calculate the areas of the top and bottom bearing surfaces to the nearest 0.1 in.260 mm2 and average thesevalues.9.2 Center the specimens in the testing machine and apply an initial seating load that will hold the specimen in place but stillpermi

28、t hand adjustment of the contact plate on the specimen. Rotate the contact plate back and forth through an angle ofapproximately 30 deg. to properly seat the spherical block, but do not move the specimen out of the central position.9.3 Apply load at a uniform rate not exceeding 100 psi/s 0.5 MPa/s.9

29、.4 Apply the load until specimen failure. Failure of the specimen is defined as the inability of the specimen to resist additionalload.9.5 Record the load at failure to the nearest 100 lb 500 N.10.

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

37、trength of dimension stone has historically been determined on cube specimens with a height to lateral dimension proportion1:1. This specimen shape differs from the standard shape specimens for determination of compressive strength of rock specimens required by Test MethodD7012. Variation from the r

38、equired cube specimen, dimensions, and height of lateral dimension proportions of 1:1 has been found to result in significantvariations in compressive strength values. Comparison with compressive strength of rock specimens determined by Test Method D7012 requires the useof correction factors. For co

39、nsistency with historical compressive strength values determined by C170/C170M and industry practices, this standard doesnot allow for deviation from the required specimen shape and dimensions.NOTE 3Accuracy of test results depends largely on uniform distribution of the load over the bearing faces.

40、In order to grind the surfaces to reasonablytrue planes, considerable care is necessary. the following procedure is suggested: Assuming that the specimen is a cube or cylinder and the load is to beapplied to the ends; mark two adjacent sides for reference, then grind the ends on a grinding wheel or

41、lap until they are perpendicular to these referencesides as gaged by a machinist square. Complete the grinding by rubbing the ends on a smooth machine-planed surface of a cast iron plate with No. 80emery and water. The specimen should be grasped as near the surface of the plate as possible to preven

42、t rocking of the specimen.Asatisfactory mechanicalmeans of finishing the bearing surfaces of the specimens is to place them in a chuck in a lathe and surface the ends with a tool post grinder. This grinderconsists of a small motor and arbor carrying an abrasive wheel which turns at about 5000 r/min.

43、 A three-point chuck is used to permit the surfacing ofcylindrical, square prism, or cubical specimens. When the square-type specimen is used it will be necessary to place a small piece of notched metalbetween the specimen and one chuck point. This causes the specimen to be placed somewhat off-cente

44、r but does not interfere with the surfacing process.The surface can be tested for flatness by holding a straightedge on the surface and viewing it before a strong light. Specimens finished in this waycommonly give considerably higher test results than specimens prepared by hand.NOTE 4Prepared specim

45、ens should meet the required tolerances for testing. Deviation from these tolerances can have a measurable impact on the testresults and produce values that under or over-estimate the compressive strength of the stone. For procedures helpful in verifying tolerances are being met,refer to Practices D
