Inspection Details and Sample Traceability

Project, supplier, and brick designation recorded

Record the project name, supplier/manufacturer, brick type, and any specified ASTM designation or product name.

Sample lot, batch, and specimen IDs recorded

Document the lot number, batch number, specimen identifiers, and quantity of bricks sampled.

Test date and location recorded

Enter the date/time of the test and the laboratory or inspection location.

Note (optional)

Reference standard identified as ASTM C67 critical (required)

Confirm the test record is being completed against ASTM C67 for brick sampling and absorption testing.

Yes No N/A

Specimen Condition and Preparation

Specimens were intact and free of visible damage before testing critical (required)

Confirm sampled bricks were not cracked, broken, or otherwise compromised before conditioning.

Yes No N/A

Photo evidence (optional)

Specimens were cleaned of loose debris before weighing critical (required)

Confirm surfaces were free of loose dust, mortar residue, or other debris that could affect mass measurements.

Yes No N/A

Initial dry mass recorded for each specimen

Record the oven-dry or conditioned dry mass for each specimen prior to water exposure.

Note (optional)

Specimen count meets test plan

Record the number of specimens tested and confirm it matches the approved sampling plan or purchase specification.

Note (optional)

24-Hour Cold Water Absorption Test

Cold water immersion duration was 24 hours critical (required)

Confirm the specimens were immersed in cold water for the full 24-hour conditioning period.

Yes No N/A

Water temperature and immersion conditions recorded

Document the water temperature, container setup, and any relevant immersion conditions used during the 24-hour cold soak.

24-hour cold water absorption calculated for each specimen

Record the absorption percentage after 24-hour cold water immersion for each specimen.

Note (optional)

Average 24-hour cold water absorption recorded

Record the average 24-hour cold water absorption across all tested specimens.

Note (optional)

5-Hour Boiling Absorption and Saturation Coefficient

Boiling immersion duration was 5 hours critical (required)

Confirm the specimens were subjected to the 5-hour boiling absorption procedure.

Yes No N/A

5-hour boiling absorption calculated for each specimen

Record the absorption percentage after the 5-hour boil for each specimen.

Note (optional)

Average 5-hour boiling absorption recorded

Record the average boiling absorption across all tested specimens.

Note (optional)

Saturation coefficient calculated and recorded critical (required)

Record the saturation coefficient, typically calculated from the ratio of boiling absorption to cold water absorption for the tested specimens.

Note (optional)

Results, Durability Classification, and Sign-Off

Results reviewed against project or specification limits critical (required)

Confirm the measured absorption and saturation coefficient values were compared to the applicable specification or acceptance criteria.

Yes No N/A

Durability classification determined critical (required)

Select the durability classification or acceptance outcome based on the test results and project requirements.

Note (optional)

Non-conformances or corrective actions documented

Describe any deficiency, non-conformance, retest requirement, or corrective action associated with out-of-limit results.

Inspector signature captured critical (required)

Inspector or laboratory representative signs to confirm the record is complete and accurate.
