Brake lining test:

Water swell

The blanks of size 50 mm × 25 mm shall be cut from the lining

and soaked fully in water at room temperature for 30 minutes.

The blanks shall be measured for thickness before and after

soaking in water at five points equally spaced along the length
of the blank and at the centre position across the width.

The mean of these five readings shall be used to determine
