    Name Original weight Weight after the Time Total amount of

    test is conducted the percentage


    that has increased
    Water absorption 1.2 kg 1.3 kg 24 hours 13%
    test

    In order to pass the test, the brick should not gain a total of 20 percent of its original weight
    after the test is conducted.

    Solving:

    Original weight = 1.2 kg

    Weight after the test is conducted = 1.3 kg

    Determine the 20 percent of its original weight.

    1.2 divided by 5 is equal to 0.24kg.

    Identify the weight that is gained by the brick after conducting the test.

    Determine the total amount of percentage that has increased after conducting the test.

    1.3 divided by 0.10 equals 13.

    The total amount of the percentage that has increased after the test is only 13 percent, and that shows
    the Ecobrick has passed the water absorption test.

    Name Result

    Soundness test Passed

    - The bricks produce a clear metallic sound and remain unbroken.
