This parameter evaluates the surface quality and appearance of the porcelain tiles. It considers factors such as smoothness, texture, gloss, and overall aesthetic appeal. The goal is to ensure that the tiles have a visually appealing finish that meets the desired standards.

The length parameter measures the linear dimension of the porcelain tiles. It ensures that the tiles are manufactured with consistent and accurate lengths, meeting the required specifications. This helps maintain uniformity and facilitates proper installation.

Similar to length, the width parameter measures the linear dimension of the porcelain tiles, but this time focusing on the width. It ensures that the tiles are produced with consistent and accurate widths, enabling proper alignment and installation.

This parameter involves measuring the diagonals of the porcelain tiles. By doing so, it verifies the geometric accuracy and symmetry of the tiles. It ensures that the diagonals are within the specified range, contributing to the overall precision and alignment of the tiles during installation.

The thickness parameter determines the thickness of the porcelain tiles. It aims to maintain consistent thickness across the tiles, ensuring reliability and uniformity in their structural integrity. This parameter is crucial for proper installation and durability of the tiles.

Brightness refers to the level of light reflection from the surface of the porcelain tiles. This parameter evaluates the brightness of the tiles, ensuring that they meet the desired level specified in the quality standards. It contributes to the overall visual appeal and attractiveness of the tiles.

The straightness parameter assesses the linear alignment of the porcelain tiles. It checks for any deviations or irregularities in shape, ensuring that the tiles maintain a straight and aligned form. This parameter is important for achieving a seamless and aesthetically pleasing tile installation.

Planarity refers to the flatness of the surface of the porcelain tiles. This parameter evaluates the degree of flatness across the tile's surface, ensuring that it meets the required standards. It prevents any unevenness or warping issues, which can affect the tile's appearance and installation.

The side flatness parameter assesses the flatness of the sides of the porcelain tiles. It verifies that the sides are even and free from any deviations or irregularities. This parameter ensures that the tiles can be properly aligned and installed, resulting in a smooth and consistent surface.

This parameter involves conducting specific tests to determine the chemical composition of the porcelain tiles. It ensures that the tiles comply with safety standards and regulatory requirements. By evaluating the chemical properties, any potential hazards or non-compliance can be identified and addressed.

Rectangularity measures the degree to which the shape of the porcelain tiles conforms to a true rectangle. It considers the angles and sides of the tiles, ensuring that they align with the specified rectangular shape. This parameter is crucial for achieving precise and consistent tile installations.

This parameter measures the lateral curvature along the long side of the porcelain tiles. It checks for any deviations from a straight line, ensuring that the tiles maintain the desired form. It helps prevent potential issues during installation and ensures a visually pleasing result.

Similar to the previous parameter, this parameter measures the lateral curvature along the short side of the porcelain tiles. It evaluates deviations or irregularities and ensures that the tiles maintain the desired shape. It contributes to the overall quality and alignment of the tiles.

The center curvature parameter measures the curvature of the central area of the porcelain tiles. It ensures that the center remains flat and even, without any significant deviations. This parameter contributes to the stability and visual appeal of the tiles during installation.

Warpage parameter assesses the degree of warping or distortion in the porcelain tiles compared to their diagonals. It checks for any deviations from a flat shape and ensures that the warpage remains within acceptable limits. This parameter is crucial for achieving a seamless and properly aligned tile installation.

The modulus of rupture (MOR) parameter measures the strength and resistance of the porcelain tiles to breaking under a bending load. It evaluates the tile's structural integrity and ability to withstand pressure. This parameter ensures that the tiles meet the required standards for durability and longevity.
These quality control parameters play a vital role in ensuring the quality, consistency, and compliance of porcelain tiles with industry standards. They help maintain the integrity of the tiles, contribute to their visual appeal, and facilitate proper installation and long-term performance.
