Difference between modular and non modular bricks

Answer 1

A brick is small block of burnt clay with a size that can be held in one hand conveniently. Brick should be thoroughly burnt, of uniform color, having plane rectangular faces, sharp straight, right angle edges.Standard Modular size of common building brick is 190X90X90 mm.The size of a Non-Modular brick is 9"X4-3/8"X2-11/16" (229X111X70 mm).But it is specified as 230X110X70 mm.The weight of a brick is about 3 to 4 kg.
Good bricks should be burnt thoroughly so that they become hard and durable.Satisfactory burning of the bricks is ascertained by hard ringing sound when two bricks are struck together. The bricks should have smooth and rectangular shapes with sharp corners and uniform colors. The bricks should be free from cracks, chips, warp age, large particles of lime and organic matters.

Water Absorption of Brick

Average water absorption of bricks after 24 hours of immersion in cold water should not be more than 20% of its own dry weight.
