- IS: 1077:1992
- IS: 12894:1990
- IS: 13757:1993
APPARATUS
REQUIRED FOR THE TEST :-
- Measuring Tape (0.1 mm)
PROCEDURE
OF THE TEST:-
- Take the twenty No. (20) of test specimens (bricks).
- Lay the twenty No. of brick contact with each other in longitudinal direction to measure the length of the test piece.
- Lay the twenty No. of brick in width wise direction and measure the width.
- Lay the twenty No. of brick in height wise direction and measure the thickness.
- Calculate the individual and average of the measures.
