A superscriptepsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers brick intended f

3、or both struc-tural and nonstructural masonry where external appearance isnot a requirement. The brick are prismatic units available in avariety of sizes, shapes, textures, and colors. The specificationdoes not cover brick intended for use as facing units or wheresurface appearance is a requirement,

The use of results from testing of brickextracted from masonry structures for determining conform-

5、ance or nonconformance to the property requirements (Section3) of this standard is beyond the scope of this standard.1.3 Brick are manufactured from clay, shale, or similarnaturally occurring earthy substances and subjected to a heattreatment at elevated temperatures (firing). The heat treatmentmust

Physical Properties4.1 AppearanceIf brick are required to have a particularcolor, texture, finish, uniformity, or limits on cracks, warpageor other imperfections detracting from the appearance they

16、 arepurchased under Specification C 216.4.2 DurabilityWhen Grade is not specified, the require-ments for Grade SW shall govern.4.2.1 Physical Property RequirementsThe brick shallconform to the physical requirements for the Grade specified asprescribed in Table 1. For the compressive strength require

17、-ments in Table 1, test the unit with the compressive forceperpendicular to the bed surface of the unit, with the unit in thestretcher position.4.2.2 Absorption AlternateThe saturation coefficient re-quirement does not apply, provided the 24-h cold waterabsorption of each unit of a random sample of

18、five brick doesnot exceed 8.0 %.4.2.3 Freezing and Thawing AlternativeThe requirementsfor 5 h boiling water absorption and saturation coefficient donot apply, provided a sample of five brick, meeting the strengthrequirements of Table 1, passes the freezing and thawing test asdescribed in the Rating

25、 cycle days and the average annualwinter rainfall in inches defined as follows:3A Freezing Cycle Day is any day during which the air temperaturepasses either above or below 32F (0C). The average number of freezingcycle days in a year may be taken to equal the difference between themean number of day

26、s during which the minimum temperature was 32For below and the mean number of days during which the maximumtemperature was 32F or below.Winter Rainfall is the sum, in inches, of the mean monthly correctedprecipitation (rainfall) occurring during the period between and includingthe normal date of the

27、 first killing frost in the fall and the normal date ofthe last killing frost in the spring. The winter rainfall for any period isequal to the total precipitation less one tenth of the total fall of snow, sleet,and hail. Rainfall for a portion of a month is prorated.Fig. 1 indicates general areas in

28、 the United States which correspond tothe weathering index categories found in Table 1. The index for geo-graphic locations near the 50 line should be determined by an analysis ofweather bureau local climatological summaries, with due regard to theeffect of microclimate conditions, especially altitu

29、de.The use of Grade MW brick in a wall area above grade is structurallyadequate in the severe weathering region, but Grade SW would provide ahigher and more uniform degree of resistance to frost action. The degreeof durability called for by Grade SW is not necessary for use in wall areasabove grade

30、in the moderate weathering region. Grade MW brickperforms satisfactorily in wall areas above grade in the no-weatheringregion, where the average compressive strength of the units is at least2500 psi (17.2 MPa). Grade SW brick should be used in any region whenthe units are in contact with the ground,

31、 in horizontal surfaces, or in anyposition where they are likely to be permeated with water.The recommended correlation between grade of building brick, weath-ering index, and exposure is found in Table 2. The specifier can use theserecommendations or use the grade descriptions and physical requirem

32、entsalong with use exposure and local climatological conditions to selectgrade.4.3 StrengthWhen brick are required having strengthsgreater than prescribed by this specification, the purchaser shallspecify minimum strength.4.4 Initial Rate of Absorption (IRA)Test results for initialrate of absorption

33、 (IRA) shall be determined in accordancewith the IRA (Suction) (Laboratory Test) of Test Methods C67and shall be furnished at the request of the specifier orpurchaser. IRA is not a qualifying condition or property ofunits in this specification. This property is measured in order toassist in mortar s

34、election and material handling in the construc-tion process. See Note 4.NOTE 4Initial Rate of Absorption (Suction)Both laboratory andfield investigation have shown that strong and watertight joints betweenmortar and masonry units are not achieved by ordinary constructionmethods when the units as lai

35、d have excessive initial rates of absorption.Mortar that has stiffened somewhat because of loss of excessive mixingwater to a unit may not make complete and intimate contact with thesecond unit, resulting in poor adhesion, incomplete bond, and water-permeable joints of low strength. The IRAof the un

36、its is determined by theoven-dried procedure described in the IRA (Suction) (Laboratory Test) ofTest Methods C67. IRAin the field depends on the moisture content of themasonry unit and is determined in accordance with the IRA (Suction)Field Test of Test Methods C67. Units having average field IRAexc

37、eeding 30 g/min per 30 in.2(30 g/min 194 cm2) should have their IRAreduced below 30 g/min per 30 in.2prior to laying. They may be wettedimmediately before they are laid, but it is preferable to wet themthoroughly 3 to 24 h prior to their use so as to allow time for moisture tobecome distributed thro

38、ughout the unit.5. Size and Coring5.1 SizeThe size of brick shall be as specified by thepurchaser. The maximum permissible variation in dimensionsof individual units shall not exceed those given in Table 3.NOTE 5For a list of modular sizes see Guide E 835/E 835M. Sizeslisted in this standard are not

39、 produced in all parts of the United States.Brick names denoting sizes may be regional and, therefore, may not beincluded in all reference books. Purchasers should ascertain the size ofbrick available in their locality and should specify accordingly, stating thedesired dimensions (width by height by

40、 length).5.2 CoringUnless otherwise specified in the invitation forbids, brick shall be either solid or cored at the option of theseller. The net cross-sectional area of cored brick in any planeparallel to the surface containing the cores shall be at least75 % of the gross cross-sectional area measu

41、red in the sameplane. No part of any hole shall be less than34 in. (19.1 mm)from any edge of the brick.5.3 FroggingUnless otherwise specified in the invitationfor bids, one bearing face of each brick may have a recess orpanel frog and deep frogs. The recess or panel frog shall notexceed38 in. (9.5 m

42、m) in depth and no part of the recess orpanel frog shall be less than34 in. (19.1 mm) from any edge ofthe brick. In brick containing deep frogs, frogs deeper than38in. (9.5 mm), any cross-section through the deep frogs parallelto the surface containing the deep frogs shall conform to therequirements

43、 of 4.2.6. Sampling and Testing6.1 The brick shall be sampled and tested in accordancewith applicable sections in Test Methods C67.3Data needed to determine the weathering index for any locality may be foundor estimated from the tables of Local Climatological Data, published by the WeatherBureau, U.

47、the purchase order, the cost oftests is typically borne as follows: If the results of the test show that thebrick do not conform to the requirements of this specification, the cost istypically borne by the seller. If the results of the tests show that the brickdo conform to the requirements of this

Visual Inspection7.1 The brick, as delivered to the site, shall, by visualinspection, conform to the requirements specified by thepurchaser or to the sample or samples approved as the standardof comparison and to the samples passing the t

49、ests for physicalrequirements. Minor indentations or surface cracks incidentalto the usual method of manufacture, or the chipping resultingfrom the customary methods of handling in shipment anddelivery, shall not be deemed grounds for rejection.7.2 The brick shall be free of defects, deficiencies, andsurface treatments, including coatings, that would interferewith the proper setting of the brick or significantly impair thestrength or performance of the construction.7.3 Unless otherwise agreed upon between the purchaserand the seller, a delivery
