Progress on the Development of a Salt Crystallisation Durability Test for Fired Clay Bricks

P. S. Boucher / P. J. Loubser / J. C. Coetzee

Progress with the development of a test method at the NBRI to assess the durability of fired clay bricks under South African conditions is reported. The sodium sulfate crystallization tests used so far to discriminate between low-, medium- and high-fired bricks from five brickyards, as well as relationships between the results obtained with these tests and certain properties of the bricks are discussed. Exposures to sodium chloride environments are described.
