What it is
Prepared brick specimens are measured, conditioned and loaded in compression through suitable bearing faces.
Public test guide
Brick compressive strength
Measures the load a masonry brick can carry before crushing.
Plain-language explanation
What the test tells you.
The project specification controls the exact method and acceptance requirement.
What is used
Representative bricks, preparation/capping materials, dimensional tools and calibrated compression machine.
What it determines
Maximum compressive load and calculated strength for the tested units.
Why it matters
Supports product classification, quality control and verification against masonry requirements.
Typical test sequence
From sample
to result.
- 01
Select, condition and measure the units
- 02
Prepare even bearing faces where required
- 03
Load to failure and calculate compressive strength
