Accy nori?
 
Does anyone know the U-value of Accy Nori bricks, i have been on google and ask, but they keep coming up with the same answers

Thought they would be totally impervious to water - the glazed face made them acid resistant I believe, so water should not be a problem.

I do know that Nori supplied all the bricks which went into making a long large diameter tunnel through Erdington, Nr Birmingham. Gilbraith Haulage took many thousands of the things all hand loaded and unloaded. The bricks all had a slight curve in them to make a snug fit when they formed the pipe. I am sure they must have been water resistant and most certainly acid resistant other wise the mucky wet stuff would seep out into the ground around the tunnel.

My dad who worked at Nori for years always told me they were waterproof as well.

What does U-value mean?

Re: Accy nori?
 
i think unless you drill or break them they are waterproof.

leave one in a bucket of water for a few hours then smash it and see if its dry on the inside :D

It's the new Euro sell by date for bricks.

:hidewall:

This wall's o.k. it was built before the law came in.

Why not weigh the brick, then put in water, then weigh again.

If the brick is heavier it's absorbed water, if it's the same weight it's waterproof.

Nah, not as much fun as smashing bricks is it?

Had to drill dozens of Noris in Prestige Group Boiler Room - the braze holding the carbide tips in the Masonmaster drill bits kept melting. I was threatened I would have to finish the job with a Rawldrill & hammer if I ruined any more drill bits:eek::eek:

Is it true that if you soak one in Coca-Cola overnight, it will have completely dissolved by the morning?

Or is that a hen's tooth?

the first time i drilled a wall made from nori's i wondered what all the fuss was about...

until my sencong attempt at drilling a hole didnt go through the cement and actualy hiut the brick.

thats when the makita hammer drill came out of retirement as i burned the black and decker out lol

They drill easy enough, these days we dont use star drills and a hammer like when you were a lad :p

That pic looks like the long stand I was sent to pick up from Bridges on Church Street, when I was serving my time:D

Re: Accy nori?
 
As I remember, 'U' value was how well or how badly a material transfers heat. A wooden handle on a hot pan transfers badly(so keeps cool), a metal handle-ouch. It was nothing to do with water resistance. Nori bricks are so dense they would transmit heat badly and I would guess they are waterproof also.I think 'U' values were used for engineering and building materials.e.g how well would a house wall keep heat in.
Nori- the only brick that needed a new masonary drill for each hole!

Gordon Booth 24-02-2011 21:10

Re: Accy nori?
 
Google it-Coefficient of Thermal Conductivity. i.e how well does a material conduct heat.
Expected conductivity of a brick wall-0.77W/M-K. Don't ask me to explain that(can't remember) but the lower the number the better. I would imagine Nori is lower than that but if you need to use a number quote 0.77.
Why on earth do you need to know? Just interested.

U value or K value ( Watt per hour lost etc) is a measure of how much heat is transfered through a certain material, a pilkington K glass unit as a U value of 1.5, a standard douvle glazed unit is about 2.6, the lower the number the better, a single brick will be poor, a modern house is built with an insulated cavity wall and the u value would be approx 0.25, hope this helps.
A nine inch solid wall would be approx 2.00

So that explains why people build their houses of wood in places like Canada and Siberia.
