Test Procedure:-
(i) Kept 5 nos. of brick in water tub for 24 hours, maintain a temperature between 250c to 290c (i.e. 27+-20c).
(ii) Take out all bricks after 24 hours.
(iii) Kept all bricks stand up vertically at room temperature for drain out the surplus moisture.
(iv) Now, prepare mortar at ratio 1:3.
(v) Using screen coarse sand of grade 3 mm.
(vi) This mortar is used to fill the frog of brick.
(vii) The same manner will be filled all the five bricks. This is done to bricks make in a uniform section.
