Scope*1.1 This specification covers prefaced concrete maso

3、nryunits with the exposed-to-view-in-place surfaces covered at thepoint of manufacture with resin, resin and inert filler, or cementand inert filler to produce a smooth resinous tile facing. Thisspecification does not address, and therefore is not applicableto, ground-face concrete masonry units tha

4、t are manufacturedby grinding a thin layer off the surface of a concrete masonryunit to expose aggregates within and polishing to produce asmooth, architectural finish.1.2 The text of this specification references notes andfootnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes andfootnotes (exclu

Inspection8.1 All prefaced concrete masonry units shal

35、l be sound andfree of cracks or other defects that interfere with the properplacing of the units or impair the strength or permanence of theconstruction.8.2 SurfaceThe coated surface shall be free of chips,crazes, cracks, blisters, crawling, holes, and other imperfec-tions detracting from the appear

Compliance9.1 If a sample fails to conform to the specified require-ments, the manufacturer shall be permitted to remove unitsfrom the shipment. A new sample

37、shall be selected by thepurchaser from remaining units from the shipment with asimilar configuration and dimension and tested at the expenseof the manufacturer. If the second sample meets the specifiedrequirements, the remaining portion of the shipment repre-sented by the sample meets the specified

38、requirements. If thesecond sample fails to meet the specified requirements, theremaining portion of the shipment represented by the samplefails to meet the specified requirements.NOTE 2Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order, the cost oftests is typically borne as follows: (1) if the result

39、s of the tests show thatthe units do not conform to the requirements of this specification, the costis typically borne by the seller; (2) if the results of the tests show that theunits conform to the specification requirements, the cost is typically borneby the purchaser.10.
