7、ild-ing unit intended to simulate natural cut stone.4.Significance and Use4.1 This test method is to be used in determining thecompressive strength of cast stone.Compressive strength isone measure of resistance of cast stone to weathering andstructural stress.5.Apparatus5.1 Testing MachineThe testin
8、g machine shall conform tothe requirements prescribed in Test Method C109/C109Munless otherwise indicated therein.6.Sampling6.1 Select the sample to represent the cast stone underconsideration.The sample may be selected by the purchaser orhis authorized representative from each 500 ft3(14 m3)of cast
9、stone.Select a sample of adequate size to permit the prepara-tion of three compression test specimens.7.Test Specimens7.1 For compression tests,take three specimens from eachsample.Cut specimens from the finished surface of the sampleto consist of one surface intended to be exposed to view andfive s
10、aw-cut surfaces,except for faced cast stone,cut speci-mens through the faced surface to consist of approximatelyequal parts of the facing material and the backup material.7.2 Cut test specimens from the sample with saws.The testspecimens shall be 2-in.(50.8-mm)or 50-mm cubes.Theallowable size tolera
11、nce of the cubes shall be 618in.(3.2 mm).7.3 Measure the top and bottom of the bearing surfaces ofthe test specimens to 0.01 in.(0.25 mm)and average the twobearing areas to obtain the compression area.8.Conditioning8.1 Oven dry specimens at a temperature of 230 6 9F(110 6 5C)until the loss in mass i
