b. Cost of tests of units after delivery shall be borne by the purchaser, unless tests indicate that units do not conform to the requirements of the specifications, in which case cost shall be borne by the seller.
B. Furnish Sample Panel:
1. Approximately 4 ft. (1.2 m) long by 3 ft. (1 m) high, showing the proposed color range, texture, bond, mortar and workmanship. All brick shipped for the sample shall be included in the panel.
2. Erect panel in the presence of the Architect/Engineer before installation of materials.
3. When required, provide a separate panel for each type of brick or mortar.
4. Do not start work until Architect/Engineer has accepted sample panel.
5. Use panel as standard of comparison for all masonry work built of same material.
6. Do not destroy or move panel until work is completed and accepted by Owner.
1.03 SUBMITTALS:
A. Samples: Furnish not less than five individual brick as samples, showing extreme variations in color and texture.
B. Test Reports:
1. Test reports for each type of building and facing brick are to be submitted to the Architect/Engineer for approval.
2. Testing and reports are to be completed by an independent laboratory.
3. Test reports shall show:
a. Compressive strength.
b. 24-hr. cold water absorption.
c. 5-hr. boil absorption.
d. Saturation coefficient.
e. Initial rate of absorption (suction).
C. Certificates: Prior to delivery, submit to Architect/Engineer certificates attesting compliance with the applicable specifications for grades, types or classes included in these specifications.
1.04 PRODUCT DELIVERY, STORAGE AND HANDLING:
A. Store brick off ground to prevent contamination by mud, dust or materials likely to cause staining or other defects.
B. Cover materials when necessary to protect from elements.
C. Protect reinforcement from elements.
1.05 JOB CONDITIONS:
A. Protection of Work:
1. Wall covering:
a. During erection, cover top of wall with strong waterproof membrane at end of each day or shutdown.
b. Cover partially completed walls when work is not in progress.
c. Extend cover minimum of 24 in. (610 mm) down both sides.
1.02.A.1.b. To be used only in a case of dispute.
1.02.8.1. The sample panel, when accepted shall become the project standard for: bond, mortar, workmanship and appearance.
1.02.B.3. Brick for sample panels are usually furnished at no cost. If additional panels are needed, care must be exercised not to burden the supplier with excessive costs.
1.03.A and B Sections can be deleted if Architect/Engineer has sufficient experience and confidence in the brick manufacturer to accept compliance with project specifications based on certification section 1.03.C.
1.03.B.3 This section should be altered to meet the requirements of the project. Brick are not required to meet the 5-hr. boil absorption and/or saturation coefficient requirements of ASTM C 216 and ASTM C 62 if they meet the physical property requirements of paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b) of ASTM C 216, and 2(d) and 2(e) of ASTM C 62.
No limit is placed on initial rate of absorption (suction). Units having initial rates of absorption exceeding 30 g./min./30 sq. in. (194 cm²) should be wetted prior to laying. For cold weather masonry construction, higher suctions may be tolerated (up to 30-40 g. than for normal construction. Note Sections 1.05.C.2.a and 3.01.A.1.
1.03.C. List materials for which certificates of compliance are required.
