Stone compressive strength class
Bricks are divided into stone compressive strength classes (SFK) according to the respective standard ( DIN 105 , DIN 106 , DIN 4165 , DIN 18151 , DIN 18152 ). In combination with the masonry mortar, this results in the permissible compressive stress of the masonry .
The stone compressive strength class is specified without a unit. The smallest individual value (in N / mm²) must not fall below the value of the SFK. The mean value is 25% higher than the classified value.
