Brick Quality Test Explained By Rodi Dust
The quality of the bricks can be determined by the following seven tests that are to be conducted in the laboratory and there are several other tests that can be done on the field. Compressive strength test Water Absorption test Efflorescence test Hardness test Size, Shape, and Color & nbsp test Soundness test Structure test Compressive strength test This simple test is done to test the compressive strength of the brick . It is also called the crushing strength of brick. Generally, five specimens of bricks should be tested in the laboratory and the test is performed on them one by one. During the test, each brick specimen is placed in a crushing machine and applied pressure until it breaks. The ultimate pressure at which the brick is crushed is taken into consideration. After successfully testing all the five bricks one by one, the average result’s taken as brick’s compressive/crushing strength. Water Absorption test: During the Water absorption test bricks are first weighed in d
