Hollow & Solid Block Testing – Scope of Accreditation

Hollow Blocks

Hollow Concrete Blocks

Hollow concrete masonry blocks lined up for testing — assessed for compressive strength, block density, dimensional accuracy, drying shrinkage and water absorption per IS 2185 (Part 1).

Solid Blocks

Solid Concrete Blocks

Solid concrete block specimens prepared for laboratory testing — key quality parameters include compressive strength, density and water absorption per IS 2185 (Part 1).

CTM Equipment

Aimil MuCTM Testing Machine

Calibrated Aimil MuCTM compression testing machine (0–3000 kN) — primary equipment for compressive strength determination of hollow and solid concrete blocks.
