Scope
This part of PS 1278 specifies a test method for determining the resistance to thermal shock of all ceramic tiles under normal conditions of use.
Depending on the water absorption of the tiles, different procedures (tests with or without immersion) are used unless there is an agreement to the contrary.
NOTE PS 1276 provides property requirements for tiles and other useful information on these products.
