The crushing strength of a brick is found out by placing it in a compression testing machine. It is pressed till it breaks. As per IS: 10771970 the minimum crushing or compressive strength of bricks is 3.50 N/mm2. The bricks with crushing strength of 7 to 14 N/mm2 are graded as A and those having above 14 N/mm are graded as AA.
