Ceramic Tiles
Ceramic tiles are widely used in construction for flooring, walls, and decorative purposes. Quality testing ensures their durability, water resistance, and ability to withstand mechanical stresses. Tests like water absorption, abrasion resistance, and impact strength help determine their suitability for various applications, ensuring long-lasting performance.
IS 15622: 2017:Tests for water absorption, breaking strength, modulus of rupture, and dimensions.
IS 13630 (Parts 1-15): 2006:Testing procedures for dimensions, surface flatness, water absorption, modulus of rupture, impact resistance, abrasion resistance, etc.
Granite, Marbles and Natural Stones
Granite is a durable and visually appealing natural stone used in construction for flooring, countertops, and cladding. Quality testing of granite focuses on properties such as compressive strength, water absorption, density, and abrasion resistance. These tests ensure that the granite meets industry standards for strength, durability, and aesthetic consistency, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications and long-term use.
