Abstract

Defines procedures for determination of modulus of rupture and breaking strength. Identical to and reproduced from ISO 10545-4:1994.

Scope

This part of ISO 10545 defines a test method for determining the modulus of rupture and breaking strength of all ceramic tiles.
NOTE 1 ISO 13006:-, Ceramic tiles - Definitions, classification, characteristics and marking (to be published), provides property requirements for tiles and other useful information on these products.
