AboutBrick Testing

• This test helps in determining the porosity
  and density of bricks to be used for construction
  of load bearing walls. The method involves
  dimensional measurement and mass to determine
  density, followed by measuring the increase in
  mass when soaked in water for a standard period.
• Water Absorption
• The amount of water that a brick can absorb
  is measured by the water absorption test. There
  is no distinct relationship between water
  absorption and the water-tightness of walls. The
  results of water absorption tests are used by the
  brick manufacturer for quality assurance.
