Types and standard sizes of bricks

Brick is an artificial small building block, which is divided into sintered brick (mainly clay brick) and non-sintered brick (lime sand brick, fly ash brick, etc. ), commonly known as bricks. This paper will introduce the types and standard sizes of bricks to help readers better understand the relevant knowledge of bricks.

Standard size

Standard brick refers to solid standard brick, with the size of 240mm× 1 15mm×53mm and the density of 1800~ 1900kg/m_. One cubic meter of standard brick is about 684 pieces without mortar joint. The marking size of brick is 180mm. Structural dimension: 178mm.

Sign brick

Sign brick, also called sign block, warning block, warning brick and floor tile. It is extruded from a special composite material. Light weight, high strength, not easy to break, anti-corrosion and anti-aging, and the color is colored according to national standards, which plays a good warning and marking role.

Clay brick is made of clay (including shale, coal gangue and other powders) as the main raw material, which is processed, shaped, dried and roasted by mud. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, China successively created square bricks and long bricks. During the Qin and Han dynasties, brick-making technology, production scale, quality and fancy varieties all developed significantly, and the world called it "Qinzhuan Hanwa". Brick is the most traditional masonry material.

Non-sintered brick

From clay as the main raw material, it has gradually developed to the utilization of industrial wastes such as coal gangue and fly ash, and at the same time, it has developed from solid to porous hollow, from sintering to non-sintering.
