The compressive or crushing strength of brick = Maximum Load / Surface Area
The Minimum crushing strength of brick is 3.50N/mm². If the Compressive or crushing strength is lesser than 3.50N/mm², the brick fails and not useful for construction.

Sound Test performs by striking bricks with each other or with a hammer. A clear ringing or a metallic sound hear striking with another brick.
5. Water Absorption Test
In Water Absorption Test the brick weights and soak in water for twenty-four hours. The Difference in weight indicates the amount of water absorbs by brick. The percentage of water Absorption is lesser than twenty percent for a good quality Brick.
6. Structure
It’s a physical test for bricks for its size, shape, and color. Brick possess standard shape, uniform size, plain surfaces and sharp edges. It is rectangular in shape and copper color. The standard size of a good quality Brick is 19cm x 9cm x 9cm. And it tests for voids, cracks, and any other foreign matters present in it.
