Indian Standard Classification of Bricks

 Traditional bricks - These are the most commonly used bricks in India and are made using traditional methods such as sun-drying or firing in a kiln. They are further classified based on their raw material, such as clay bricks, mud bricks, and fly ash bricks.


Eco-friendly bricks - With growing concerns about the environment, there has been a rise in the use of eco-friendly bricks in India. These bricks are made using recycled materials or renewable resources, such as rice husks, straw, or even plastic waste. They can be further classified based on their specific material composition and manufacturing process.


Decorative bricks - Bricks are not just functional building materials, but can also be used for aesthetic purposes. Decorative bricks come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, and are often used to create unique designs and patterns on building exteriors or interiors. They can be classified based on their design, such as perforated bricks, textured bricks, or glazed bricks.


Insulating bricks - India has a wide range of climatic conditions, and insulating bricks are used to regulate indoor temperature and prevent heat loss. These bricks are made using insulating materials such as vermiculite, perlite, or expanded polystyrene (EPS). They can be further classified based on their thermal conductivity and other insulation properties.


Fire bricks - These bricks are specifically designed to withstand high temperatures and are used in fireplaces, kilns, and other high-heat applications. They are made using refractory materials such as alumina, silica, or magnesia, and can be classified based on their ability to withstand different temperature ranges.


This is just one interesting way to classify bricks in India, and there are many other factors that can be considered such as size, strength, and durability.

Difference between CPVC & PVC

  CPVC and PVC are both types of plastic piping commonly used in plumbing applications. However, there are some key differences between the two. Material: PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is a thermoplastic made from vinyl chloride monomer. CPVC, or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, is made by adding chlorine to PVC. The resulting material is more heat-resistant and can handle higher temperatures than PVC. Applications: PVC is commonly used for cold water distribution, drainage, and venting systems. CPVC, on the other hand, is suitable for both hot and cold water applications and is commonly used for hot water distribution, as well as for sprinkler systems, fire protection systems, and industrial piping systems. Strength and Durability: CPVC is generally more durable than PVC and can withstand higher pressures and temperatures without breaking down or corroding. Cost: CPVC is generally more expensive than PVC, but the higher cost is offset by its superior strength, durability, and heat re...

Methods of Quarrying

 Quarrying is the process of extracting natural stones from the earth's surface. There are several methods of quarrying that are used in the stone industry, each with its advantages and disadvantages. Here are some of the most common methods of quarrying: Digging method: This is the simplest method of quarrying and involves digging a large pit or hole in the ground to extract the stone. This method is most commonly used for softer stones like sandstone and limestone. Drilling and blasting method: This method involves drilling a series of holes in the rock face and then inserting explosives into the holes. The explosives are then detonated, which breaks the rock into smaller pieces that can be extracted. This method is most commonly used for harder stones like granite, marble, and basalt. Wire sawing method: This method involves using a diamond wire saw to cut through the rock. The wire is fed through a series of pulleys and powered by a motor, which allows it to cut through the sto...
