Standard Test Method for Wedging of Flat, Rectangular Ceramic Wall and Floor Tile

Importancia y uso:

4.1 Tile are normally pressed in dies having true 90° angle construction. However, minor variations in die fill, compacting pressure, and heat treatment can result in finished tile with acute and obtuse angles. This out-of-squareness results in a difference in length of opposite sides, and the tile may have the appearance of a keystone or wedge.

4.2 Excessive wedging presents difficulties in the installation of tile. This test method provides a means for determining the degree of wedging.
