Designation:C140516Standard Specification forGlazed Brick(Single Fired,Brick Units)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1405;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,having a ceramic glazefinish fused to the body during the same process as the unitbody firing,that are intended for use in masonry and supplyingstructural or facing components,or both,to the structure.Thisspecification does not cover double-fired glazed brick.Somedouble-fired decorative glazes have physical properties,whichvary from those of single-fired glazes due to the lowertemperatures used in applying the decorative coating.1.2 The property requirements of this specification apply atthe time of purchase.The use of results from testing of brickextracted from masonry structures for determining confor-mance or nonconformance to the property requirements of thisspecification is beyond the scope of this specification.1.3 Glazed brick are prismatic units available in a variety ofsizes,textures,colors,and shapes.Glazed brick are manufac-tured from clay,shale,or similar naturally occurring earthysubstances and subjected to a heat treatment at elevatedtemperatures(firing).The heat treatment shall develop a firedbond between the particulate constituents to provide thestrength and durability requirements of this specification(seeTerminology C1232).1.4 Glazed brick are shaped during manufacture bymolding,pressing,or extrusion,and the shaping method is away to describe the brick.1.5 Glazed brick are classified into one of two grades,one oftwo types,one of two classes,and one of three divisions.1.6 Opacity of the glaze is not required unless specified bythe purchaser.1.7 The text of this standard references notes and footnotesthat provide explanatory material.These notes and footnotes(excluding those in tables and figures)shall not be consideredas requirements of this standard.1.8 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.9 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C67 Test Methods for Sampling and Testing Brick andStructural Clay TileC1093 Practice for Accreditation of Testing Agencies forMasonryC1232 Terminology of MasonryE84 Test Method for Surface Burning Characteristics ofBuilding MaterialsE2105 Practice for General Techniques of Thermogravimet-ric Analysis(TGA)Coupled With Infrared Analysis(TGA/IR)2.2 NFPA Standard:NFPA No.255 Test for Surface Burning Characteristics ofBuilding Materials32.3 UL Standard:UL No.723 Flammability Studies of Cellular Plastics andOther Building Materials Used for Interior Finishes43.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsTerms used in this specification are definedin accordance with Terminology C1232.4.Classification4.1 GradesGrades classify glazed brick according to theirpermissible variation in face dimension as follows.Whengrade is not specified,the requirements for Grade S govern.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 1,2016.Published July 2016.Originally approvedin 1998.Last previous edition approved in 2015 as C1405 15.DOI:10.1520/C1405-16.2For 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.3Available from National Fire Protection Association(NFPA),1 BatterymarchPark,Quincy,MA 02169-7471,http:/www.nfpa.org.4Available from Underwriters Laboratories(UL),333 Pfingsten Rd.,Northbrook,IL 60062-2096,http:/.*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 4.1.1 Grade S(Standard),units for use where standarddimensional tolerances are desired.4.1.2 Grade SS(Select Sized),units for use where a higherdegree of precision and lower permissible variation in size aredesired.4.2 TypesTwo types of glazed brick are covered.Whentype is not specified,the requirements for Type I govern.4.2.1 Type I(Single-Faced Units),for general use whereonly one face is finished.4.2.2 Type II(Two-Faced Units),for use where two oppositefaces
