Apparatus3.1 Conditioning CabinetAny suitable airtight cabinetwith means for circulating air, or vacuum desiccator, whereinprescribed specimens can be conditioned as desired beforetesting. Speci

5、mens for dry strength shall be stored with silicagel desiccant. Specimens for 50 % relative humidity shall bestored over a saturated solution of sodium dichromate(Na2CR2O72H2O), and specimens for 80 % relative humidityshall be stored over a saturated solution of ammonium chloride(NH4Cl).3.2 Testing

6、MachineAny suitable testing machine may beused, provided a uniform rate of direct loading can bemaintained at no more than 1 lb/min (4.4 N/min) using theprescribed specimens. For the support of the test specimen, twosteel bars having a diameter of 0.5-in. (12.7-mm) shall beprovided. The load shall b

Test Specimen Preparation4.1 Preparation of Extruded Specimens100 % clay speci-men preparation: The test sample shall be

8、blunged withsufficient distilled water to give complete dispersion andproduce a slip of sufficient viscosity to avoid noticeable settlingof particles (usually in the range of 25 to 50 percent solids).Slip shall be sieved through a No. 120 (125 m) sieve orequivalent. After aging 24 h the slip shall b

9、e dewatered to aplastic condition preferably by filter pressing. At this point themoisture content must be adjusted to optimum conditions forforming by some measure of plasticity such as Pfefferkornapparatus, plumb bob penetration, or other acceptable means.After the water of plasticity has been adj

10、usted (usually willrange from 20 to 50 %), test specimens shall be formed byextrusion. Where hand-operated extruder is used withoutvacuum, the plastic clay shall be thoroughly hand-wedged toeliminate entrapped air as a preliminary to forming test pieces.Where a vacuum extruder is used, a vacuum of n

11、ot less than 25in. (635 mm) Hg shall be maintained during forming operation.4.1.1 Clay-Flint Specimensto be used in the case ofstrong clays that are considered bonding materials.

Adjust the solids contentof the slurry to obtain a viscosity between 100-500 cps. Theslurry should be cast in plaster molds until solid, and th

(114 mm) inlength to permit an overhang of at least 0.25 in. at each endwhen mounted on the supports.4.3 Handling and WarpageAll

14、due precaution shall beobserved in the forming and drying to produce straight testspecimens. No specimen shall be used that shows a warpagegreater than 1 % of its overall length. The bars shall be checkedfrom time to time during drying for straightness, and beforethey stiffen, corrective straighteni

Defective bars due to warpage, flaws, or voids shall berejected.4.4 Drying and StorageThe extruded specimens shall beplaced on a ligh

18、tly oiled pallet and allowed to dry at roomatmospheric conditions 68 to 104F (20 to 40C) for 24 h. Thenthe specimens shall be dried in a drier at 140F (60C) and lowrelative humidity for 6 h, or until moisture content is less than0.5 %. The bars shall be loosely stacked in the desiccator topermit rap

19、id cooling. Bars should be cooled to near roomtemperature but not longer than one (1) hour. After the initialdrying period, the specimens for dry strength shall be furtherdried at 212 to 230F (100 to 110C) for 24 h and then cooledin a desiccator before testing. The bars shall be loosely stackedin th

20、e desiccator to permit rapid cooling. Bars should be cooledto near room temperature but not longer than one (1) hour.After the initial drying, the specimens for testing at 50 or 80 %relative humidity shall be placed into the conditioning cabinetwith circulating air (or in partial vacuum) with a satu

21、ratedsolution of sodium dichromate or ammonium chloride, respec-tively, and in each case, stored for 24 h to allow equilibriumconditions to be reached.5. Procedure5.1 Test at least ten specimens at room temperature for eachcondition, whether dry or conditioned, at 50 or 80 % relativehumidity.5.2 Rem

22、ove the test specimen from storage, one at a time,and immediately place on the round bar supports of the testingmachine. These supports shall be spaced 4 in. (102 mm) apart,depending on the type machine and type clay, and testspecimen must overlap each support by at least 0.25 in. (6.4mm). Apply the

23、 load at right angles to the specimen andmidway between the supports. Apply the load at a uniform ratenot to exceed 1 lb-f/min (4.4 N/min) until failure occurs. Theloading rate should be such as to cause failure in approximatelyone minute. Measure the diameter at the break to the nearest0.001 in. (0

24、.03 mm). Use the average of at least three diameterreadings around the bar.6. Calculation6.1 Calculate the modulus of rupture for each specimen asfollows:M 5 8PL/pd3(1)where:M = modulus of rupture, psi (or MPa),P = load at rupture, lbf (or N),L = distance between supports, in. = 2.0 or 4.0 (51 or 10

25、2mm), andd = diameter of specimen, in. (or mm).7. Report7.1 Report the following information:7.1.1 Identification of the material tested,7.1.2 Data and computed modulus of rupture for eachspecimen,7.1.3 Adjusted average of the computed modulus of rupturevalues (discarding those values from the bars

26、which, uponinspection, show obvious defects), or deviate more than 6 10%from the adjusted avaerage.
