Notes:
1 - Specimens are cast discs with a 2.5" diameter and 0.375" thickness. Specimens are conditioned for four hours at test temperatures. A one pound steel
ball is dropped onto the center of the specimen through a plastic tube from an initial height of 5 feet. The drop height is increased by intervals until the
specimen cracks.
2 - The briquette is sawed in half so that the cut surface area equals approximately 1 square inch. Surface is blasted and placed in a mold. WaboCrete II is
cast against it. Specimen is submerged in water (seven days at room temperature). Using a riehle Briquette tester, failure of the specimen is considered to
occur at either the bond interface or within one of the two materials.
