Designation:C41013Standard Specification forIndustrial Floor Brick1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C410;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers brick made from clay or shaleor mixtures thereof and are suitable for surfacing industrialfloors.Ceramic shapes known as quarry tile are not covered bythis specification.1.2 Terminology related to industrial floor brick is found inTerminology C1232.1.3 UnitsThe values stated in inch-pound units are to beregarded as standard.The values given in parentheses aremathematical conversions to SI units that are provided forinformation only and are not considered standard.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C67 Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Brick andStructural Clay TileC279 Specification for Chemical-Resistant Masonry UnitsC1232 Terminology of Masonry3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions relating to industrial floorbrick,refer to Terminology C1232.4.Classification4.1 Four types of industrial floor brick are covered(Note 1):4.1.1 Type TFor use where a high degree of resistance tothermal and mechanical shock is required but low absorption isnot required.4.1.2 Type HFor use where resistance to chemicals andthermal shock are service factors but low absorption is notrequired.4.1.3 Type MFor use where low absorption is required.Brick of this type are normally characterized by limitedmechanical(impact)shock resistance but are often highlyresistant to abrasion.4.1.4 Type LFor use where minimal absorption and a highdegree of chemical resistance are required.Brick of this typeare normally characterized by very limited thermal and limitedmechanical(impact)shock resistance but are highly resistant toabrasion.NOTE1Discussion of Types of Floor BrickThe four types of brickincluded in this specification are designed to cover the diverse needs ofmany industries for floor units.Recognizing that the requirements ofprimary aluminum producers are quite different from those of chemicalmanufacturers,and similarly,that the need of a builder for brick withwhich to pave an airport terminal building may vary considerably fromthose of food processing plants,for example,a minimum of four bricktypes has been deemed necessary.The factors of modulus of rupture,water absorption,and chemical resistance have been selected as the basisfor the classification system.5.Physical Properties5.1 Brick shall conform to the physical requirements for thetype specified as prescribed in Table 1.6.Dimensions and Permissible Variations6.1 The sizes of brick shall be as specified by the purchaser.The maximum permissible variations in dimensions of indi-vidual units shall not exceed those given in Table 2.6.2 Tolerances for warpage of face or edges of individualbrick from a plane surface and from a straight line,respectively,shall not exceed the maximum values specified inTable 3.7.Finish and Appearance7.1 The texture of the finished surface that will be exposedwhen in place shall conform to an approved sample consistingof not less than four bricks,each representing the texturedesired.8.Sampling and Testing8.1 The brick shall be sampled and tested for modulus ofrupture,absorption,measurement of size,and measurement ofwarpage in accordance with Test Methods C67 and for chemi-cal resistance in accordance with the sulfuric acid solubilitytest in Section 8 on a sulfuric acid solubility test in Specifica-tion C279.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C15 onManufactured Masonry Units and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeC15.02 on Brick and Structural Clay Tile.Current edition approved June 1,2013.Published June 2013.Originallyapproved in 1957.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as C410 11.DOI:10.1520/C0410-13.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 9.Keywords9.1 abrasion;absorption;chemical resistance;clay;me-chanical shock;physical properties;shale;thermal shockSUMMARY OF CHANGESCommittee C15 has identified the location of selected changes to this standard since the last issue(C410 11)that may impact the use of this standard.(Approved June 1,2013)(1)A new Section 3,Terminology,was added and subsequentsections renumbered.(2)A new Section 9,Keywords,was added.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.User
