Methodology
Brick density and calculation basis
Evidence status: publishable.
Representative gross dry density of fired-clay brick, including product voids; brick types vary.
state: Fired-clay brick, gross dry volume
grade: Smoked Branco example; frogged, 20% voids
method: EN 771-1, density tolerance category D1
Source basis: Wienerberger, Smoked Branco technical specification. Physical properties: gross dry density. https://www.wienerberger.co.uk/content/dam/wienerberger/united-kingdom/marketing/documents-magazines/product-data-sheets/brick/new-versions/UK_MKT_DOC_BRI_12152210_Smoked_Branco.pdf Applicability: adopted-context.
Product example, not clay-particle density or a universal brick specification.
For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.00046943 ton (US) per cup (US).
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
