Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3a breaking load F force necessary to cause the test specimen to break, as read from the pressure gauge Note 1 to entry: See 25 and Figure 1.

However, it might be necessary to cut exceptionally large tiles (that is, those greater than 600 mm length) and some non-rectangular shapes in order to fit them in the apparatus. Rectangular test icimens of the largest possible size shall then be cut, having their centres coinciding with the centres of tiles.In case of doubt, results obtained using whole tiles shall always be preferred to results obtained cut tiles. I'cut tiles are used, it shall be noted in the test report TE Tiles upto 600 mmare tested ass. Ifthe tle is greater than 600 mm, thetileis cutand the dimensional jo of the original tile i be maintained in the cut piece. Test specimens Select the specimens at random from the lot to be tested. Whenever possible, whole tiles shall be & I ‘The minimum number of test specimens for each sample is given in Table 2 é ‘Table 2— Minimum number of test specimens Dimension of tile L Minimum number of test specimens 18 1000 7 Procedure 7.4 Remove any loosely adhering particles from the back of all test specimens with a stiff brush. each test specimens in the drying oven (5.1) maintained over 105 °C during at least 24h, and let th oo! until they reach room temperature. Test specimens shall be tested not later than 3h after they hi reached room temperature. 7.2 Place a test specimen on the support rods (5.3), with the glazed or proper surface uppermost Aa HE QO that the test specimen projects by a length /; (see Table 1 and Figure 1) beyond each support rod. 7.3. Inthe case of reversible tiles, such as unglazed ceramic mosaic tiles, it does not matter which side of the tile is uppermost. For extruded tiles, place the test specimen so that the projecting ribs are at ri angles to the support rods. For all other rectangular tiles, place the test specimens so that the longer si L, ist right angles to the support rods. 7.4 For tiles with a relief surface, place a second layer of rubber, of the appropriate thickness gi ‘Table 1, on the central rod (5.4) in contact with the relief surface. 7.5 Position the central rod equidistant between the support rods. Apply the load evenly in such a. icemry as to obtain a rate of increase in stress of (1 + 0,2) N/mm? per second; the actual rate per second can| calculated by Formula (2) given in Clause 8, Record the breaking load F 8 Calculation Use only the results for test specimens that break within a central portion of length equivalent to third of the distance between the supporting rods to calculate the mean breaking strength and the m modulus of rupture. A minimum of five acceptable results is necessary to calculate the mean value. there are fewer than five acceptable results, a second sample shall be tested consisting of twice ‘number of tiles. A minimum of 10 acceptable results is then required to calculate the average value. ‘The breaking strength, S, expressed in newtons, is calculated by means of Formula (1): eR EAE QO
