2、sion. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscriptepsilon () 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 for

3、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. If

4、 brick are required tohave a particular color, texture, finish, uniformity, or limits oncracks, warpage, or other imperfections detracting from theappearance they are purchased under Specification C216. Thisspecification does not cover brick intended for use as pavingbrick (see Specification C902).1

5、.2 The property requirements of this standard apply at thetime of purchase. The use of results from testing of brickextracted from masonry structures for determining confor-mance or nonconformance to the property requirements (Sec-tion 4) of this standard is beyond the scope of this standard.1.3 Bri

6、ck are manufactured from clay, shale, or similarnaturally occurring earthy substances and subjected to a heattreatment at elevated temperatures (firing). The heat treatmentmust develop sufficient fired bond between the particulateconstituents to provide the strength and durability requirementsof thi

7、s specification (see Terminology C1232).1.4 Brick are shaped during manufacture by molding,pressing, or extrusion, and the shaping method is a way todescribe the brick.1.5 The text of this standard references notes and footnoteswhich provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes(excluding

8、those in tables and figures) shall not be consideredas requirements of the standard.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.

26、 of weathering on brick is relatedto the weathering index, which for any locality is the product of theaverage annual number of freezing cycle days and the average annualwinter rainfall in inches defined as follows:4A Freezing Cycle Day is any day during which the air temperaturepasses either above

27、or below 32F (0C). The average number of freezingcycle days in a year may be taken to equal the difference between themean number of days 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,

28、in inches, of the mean monthly correctedprecipitation (rainfall) occurring during the period between and includingthe normal date of the 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 l

29、ess 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 the United States which correspond tothe weathering index categories listed. The index for geographic locationsnear the 50 line should be determined by an analysis

30、 of weather bureaulocal climatological summaries, with due regard to the effect of microcli-mate conditions, especially altitude.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

31、 resistance to frost action. The degreeof durability called for by Grade SW is not necessary for use in wall areasabove grade 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 u

32、nits is at least2500 psi (17.2 MPa). Grade SW brick should be used in any region whenthe units are in contact with the ground, 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, an

33、d exposure is found in Fig. 1. The specifier can use theserecommendations or use the grade descriptions and physical requirementsalong with use exposure and local climatological conditions to selectgrade.5.2 StrengthWhen brick are required having strengthsgreater than prescribed by this specificatio

34、n, the purchaser shallspecify minimum strength.5.3 Initial Rate of Absorption (IRA)Test results for initialrate of absorption (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

35、not a qualifying condition or property ofunits in this specification. This property is measured in order toassist in mortar selection 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

36、 and watertight joints betweenmortar and masonry units are not achieved by ordinary constructionmethods when the units as laid 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 w

37、ith thesecond unit, resulting in poor adhesion, incomplete bond, and water-permeable joints of low strength. The IRAof the units is determined by theoven-dried procedure described in the IRA (Suction) (Laboratory Test) ofTest Methods C67. IRA in the field depends on the moisture content of themasonr

38、y unit and is determined in accordance with the IRA (Suction)Field Test of Test Methods C67. Units having average field IRAexceeding30 g/min per 30 in.2(30 g/min 194 cm2) should have their IRA reducedbelow 30 g/min per 30 in.2prior to laying. They may be wettedimmediately before they are laid, but i

39、t is preferable to wet themthoroughly 3 to 24 h prior to their use so as to allow time for moisture tobecome distributed throughout the unit.6. Dimensions and Permissible Variations6.1 SizeThe size of brick shall be as specified by thepurchaser. The maximum permissible variation in dimensionsof indi

40、vidual units shall not exceed those given in Table 2.NOTE 5For a list of modular sizes see Guide E835/E835M. Sizeslisted in this standard are not produced in all parts of the United States.Brick names denoting sizes may be regional and, therefore, may not beincluded in all reference books. Purchaser

41、s should ascertain the size ofbrick available in their locality and should specify accordingly, stating thedesired dimensions (width by height by length).7. Finish and Appearance7.1 The brick, as delivered to the site, shall, by visualinspection, conform to the requirements specified by thepurchaser

42、 or to the sample or samples approved as the standardof comparison and to the samples passing the tests 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

43、, 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 Adelivery of brick is permi

44、tted to contain not more than5 % broken brick.4Data needed to determine the weathering index for any locality may be foundor estimated from the tables of Local Climatological DataAnnual Summary withComparative Data available from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis-tration.TABLE 2 Permissib
