European Foreword
This document (EN 772-22:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 125 “Masonry”, the
secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2019, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by June 2019.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TS 772-22:2006.
The most significant changes compared to the previous edition include:
— definition for sand grading for mortar has been tightened;
— rubber joints between units are only permitted for product development and factory production control
testing;
— a clause for partial saturation at 80 °C is added;
— only flush finish joints are permitted;
— monitoring of temperature is taken from 30 mm from the face not 40 mm;
— classification as F2 is given if not more than 10% of units exhibit damage of Type 4 or above, rather than
no units of type 4 or above;
— classifications of F1(n) and F2(80°C) are added;
— a detailed description of a heat flow meter is provided.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece,
Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

4 Principle
A panel of clay masonry units is assembled from units and rapid hardening mortar which when sufficiently
hardened is immersed in water for a prescribed period of time. The panel is subsequently cooled for a specified
period and the water in the units near to one face is repeatedly thawed and refrozen while the rear of the panel
remains permanently frozen (achieving a so called pinch effect). Damage caused by the freezing and thawing
action is assessed and used to determine the freeze/thaw resistance of the bricks.
5 Apparatus
An appropriate testing machine capable of generating the freeze–thaw cycles specified in 9.2 and ensuring
unidirectional freezing and thawing through one face of the units.
Several different designs of testing machines are suitable all of which use a fan to circulate air in the machine.
It is important that the machine circulates the air such that the flow is essentially parallel to the face of the
panel under test.
A water tank for soaking, made of plastic or steel.
A heat flow meter. The heat flow meter is an insulated device for extracting heat over the central area of the
surface of what during a test would be the exposed face of the panel. The area is matt black and shall be capable
of extracting heat such that when the air temperature is recorded as −15°C as in 9.2.2 and the centre of the
plate is maintained at 0°C the average rate of heat extraction can be measured. A typical example is described
in Annex A and a suitable calibration procedure in Annex C.
6 Materials
High alumina cement shall conform to EN 197-1.
Sand shall conform to EN 13139 with a grain size distribution between the limits shown in Figure 1.

7 Preparation of specimens
7.1 Sampling
The method of sampling shall be in accordance with EN 771-1. Sufficient units shall be sampled in order to
2 2
construct a panel with a face which has a surface area in between 0,25 m and 0,5 m . Each unit shall be
numbered.
7.2 Water absorption
All units selected to construct the panel may be characterized for their water absorption following the
procedure described in EN 772-21.
7.3 Conditioning and preparation of specimens
If the water absorption has been determined, all of the units shall be left to dry individually for at least one day
under laboratory conditions. Units, the headers of which are exposed in the panel, shall be cut and, if necessary,
shortened in order to prevent part of the cut unit from protruding at the rear of the panel. Both half units shall
be renumbered with the original unit number and e.g. the addition a and b.
Percentage by weight passing
8 Construction of a test panel
8.1 General
Test panels shall be constructed from units with the identifying marks visible on the face of the panel to be
exposed and a rapid setting high alumina cement mortar.
NOTE The mortar needs to be strong enough and provide adequate adhesion such that panels can be handled safely
but which is not so strong as to make dismantling the panel after testing difficult. This has been achieved in different
laboratories by using a cement:sand mix of 1:4 or 1:6 by volume depending on the characteristics of the sand used. For
product development or factory production control some laboratories find it more convenient to form the joints of
neoprene rubber or similar. Wherever testing i
