IMPACT FAILURE TEST ON TILES AND PAVING MATERIALS

Utilized to verify the quality of paving materials like tiles, ceramics, bricks, floor tiles etc. by the impact method. The specimen under test is placed on the base of the device which has been previously filled with sand. Then a spherical ball of approx. 1000 gr. is dropped on the tile from a known height, to measure the height under which the specimen will break.
