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.

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 is carried out to test the validity of a manufacturer’s declaration, mortar
joints should be used in accordance with this clause.
If the initial rate of water absorption needs to be adjusted before laying, the bricks should be wetted.
A typical panel is shown in Figure 2. Cut units at the end of courses shall be turned so that the header of the
unit forms part of the face of the panel to be exposed to the freeze/thaw cycles. The depth of these header faced
units should be equal to the width of the full units in order to create such a plane that in the freeze/thaw test
the panel can be fitted closely to the insulation at the rear. A layer of foam rubber should be used at the rear
face such that the flow of air in any gap is eliminated.
The panel height should be limited to 0,75 m.
The mortar joints shall be finished with a steel tool to give a flush finish on the front and back faces of the
2
panels as shown in Figure 3. Sufficient units shall be used to construct a panel measuring between 0,25 m and
2
0,5 m .

8.2 Conditioning of a test panel
8.2.1 General
The test panel shall be allowed to cure in ambient laboratory conditions for at least 3 days. Each unit in the
panel shall than be examined. Any existing defects shall be noted with a water proof marker. The situation
(with or without markings) shall be captured by means of a high resolution photograph.
The panel will then be partially saturated by one of the two methods given below.
8.2.2 Partial saturation by cold water immersion
The panel will be completely immersed in a tank of water at room temperature for 7 days ± 8 h.
8.2.3 Partial saturation by immersion in water at 80°C
The panel is immersed in an insulated tank filled with tap water at room temperature. The tank is closed and
the water temperature is raised to (80 ± 3)°C within a period of 2 to 5 hours. The temperature is maintained
for a total of (24 ± 1) hours including a 2 to 5 hours temperature rise. The temperature is then decreased to
room temperature within a period of 2 to 5 hours. This is done by gradually putting tap water at room
temperature into the tank. In this condition the panel remains until the total immersion time from the start of
the process is at least 44 hours and not more than 56 hours.
