Loose Tile Samples
Depending on the size of the tiles wet pendulum slip testing will require a minimum of 5 sample areas or loose tiles that can be tested to ensure that there is enough of an average that can be used for the calculation of the overall BPN score and classification in the case of AS 4856:2013. If providing loose sample of tiles for testing the following list will provide an idea of how many tiles to provide relevant to their size to ensure there is enough room to perform testing on 5 sample areas.
| Category | Size (mm) | Tiles Required |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 100mm x 100mm | 10 |
| Small | 150mm x 150mm | 5 |
| Medium | 200mm x 200mm | 5 |
| Medium | 300mm x 300mm | 3 |
| Medium | 400mm x 400mm | 3 |
| Medium | 300mm x 600mm | 3 |
| Large | 600mm x 600mm | 1 |
| Large | 600mm x 1200mm | 1 |
| Large | 800mm x 800mm | 1 |
| Large | 1200mm x 1200mm | 1 |
