Topic Winkler Diagram – Tool to Modern Brick Making
Date & Time - To be decided- as per clients convenience
Via Google Meet
Duration : 1.5 Hrs
Topic Brief:
Clay as is generally spoken is actually SOIL. Soil consists of various grain size materials. Ranging from coarse, medium to fine. Knowing the sand, silt and clay content of these soils determines the clay type, & use of this soil. Particle size distribution is a test conducted on these soils to determine the various grain size fractions which are then plotted on winkler diagram to know the type of soil. (like - Sandy clay, Loam, clay loam etc.,)
This webinar will cover topics like soil, grain size, and definition of clay, types of clays and the use of such clays for various applications. A brief on the tests available will also be covered. It should be noted that clays which are suited for making solid bricks cannot be used to make hollow blocks.
This webinar is useful to brick makers – especially those who wish to change over or start to make hollow blocks or perforated bricks. .
