1、Designation:D510703(Reapproved 2013)Standard Practice forPreparatory Surface Cleaning of Architectural Sandstone1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5107;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of la
2、st revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers non-abrasive surface cleaning ofarchitectural sandstone to remove grease,dirt,loose material,and surface
3、 deposits such as soot,fly ash,hydrocarbonresidues,and algae and other biological growth in preparationfor the application of water repellent coatings.Proceduresinclude broom cleaning,vacuum cleaning,air blast cleaning,water cleaning(and detergent water cleaning),and chemicalcleaning.1.2 Limitations
4、This practice is intended to clean architec-tural sandstone without damaging it or altering the surfaceprofile.These procedures are not intended for interior stone-work.Where work on surfaces of artistic,architectural,cultural,or historic significance is being considered,guidancefrom specialists sho

12、l cleaning,the minimum effective pressureshould be used.Avoid excessive pressures that could damagethe sandstone substrate.5.Procedure5.1 Air blast,water,scrubbing,sweeping,or vacuuming areacceptable cleaning methods.Chemical cleaning agents maybe used to remove surface deposits such as soot,fly ash
13、,andhydrocarbon residues not removed by any of the abovemethods.Chemical cleaning should be preceded and followedby a thorough fresh water rinse.5.2 Existing conditions of the substrate will determine theselection of appropriate procedure(s).Prior to the initiation ofcleaning,small test areas should
