EN 13748-1:2004 (E)125.5 Breaking strength and breaking load5.5.1 ApparatusThe transverse testing machine shall have a scale with an accuracy of ± 3 % over the range of the anticipated testloads and be capable of increasing the load at specified rates.It shall be constructed in such a way that it can induce 3 point bending into the sample without torsion.The load inducing bar shall be equidistant between the supports.The length of the supports and the load inducing bar shall be at least equal to the width of the sample to be tested (seeFigure 3).The upper and lower bearers shall be parallel and rigid, and round or rounded to a radius of (20 ± 1) mm.If packing pieces are used, they shall be medium density fibreboard and their width shall not exceed 25 mm. Theirthickness shall be (4 ± 1) mm and they shall be approximately 10 mm longer than the size of the specimen’s plane.KeyFloadFigure 3 — Principle of testingThe actual span between the bearers shall be within 0,5 % of the specified span rounded to the nearest millimetre.5.5.2 PreparationUse whole tiles when their plan shape includes at least two parallel straight edges. In other cases, use sawn sampleswith the largest possible plan area which includes two parallel straight edges.If necessary, remove any burrs, high spots, etc. Immerse the tiles under water at (20 ± 5) °C for (24 ± 3) h, remove,wipe dry and test immediately.If a face is rough, textured or curved, prepare it by grinding or capping until fully flat.Other methods of preparation may be used for routine testing providing there is a correlation between the results of thetwo methods, e.g. using unground rough, textured or curved tiles instead of ground tiles.5.5.3 ProcedureThe distance between the supports shall be 2/3 of the length of the tile, with an accuracy of ± 0,5 %.



EN 13748-1:2004 (E)13Place the sample with its upper face uppermost, symmetrically on the bearers of the testing machine and with itsshorter side parallel to the supporting bearers.Depending on the surface profile of the tile any one of the following shall be used at the discretion of themanufacturer:¾ no packing;¾ packing;¾ capping or grinding.Apply the load without shock and increase the load uniformly so that the required load is reached within (45 ± 15) s.5.5.4 Testing of non-rectangular tilesNon rectangular tiles should be cut to be rectangular.5.5.5 Calculation of resultsCalculate the strength T (in MPa) of the tile tested from the equation:223tbLPT´´´´=whereTis the strength, in MPa;Pis the breaking load, in N;Lis the distance apart of the supports, in mm;bis the width of the tile at the failure plane, in mm;tis the thickness of the tile at the failure plane, in mm.Record the individual result T in MPa and the breaking load in kN.5.5.6 Test reportReport the strength of the specimens and their mean value to the nearset 0,1 MPa and their breaking load to thenearest 0, 1kN.5.6 Abrasion resistance5.6.1 The wide wheel abrasion test5.6.1.1 Principle of wide
