1. •CLAP TEST
•
•When you strike two bricks
together, you should hear a
metallic ‘clink’. Good quality
bricks shouldn’t break or crack
on impact. This test is used to
determine the sturdiness of the
brick against sudden impact.

2. •DROP TEST
•
•This is another method for
testing a brick’s sturdiness.
When you drop a brick from a
height of 4 feet it should not
break or crack.

3. •WATER WEIGHT TEST
•
•This test will identify the moisture
absorption rate of a brick. Weigh a
dry brick and note down its weight
then submerge the brick in water for
a long period of time. Take it out and
weigh it again; if the weight doesn’t
increase by 15%, then it’s a good
quality brick.
