In Germany, clinker bricks (German: Klinkerziegel) are named according to the German Institute for Standardization's DIN 105. They differ between full clinker (KMz) with a density of 2.0 to 2.2 kg/dm 3 (120 to 140 lb/cu ft) and high hole clinker (KHLz) with a density of 1.6 to 1.8 kg/dm 3 (100 to 112 lb/cu ft). Because of their low porosity ...
Portland cement clinker is a hydraulic material which shall consist of at least two-thirds by mass of calcium silicates, (3 CaO·SiO 2, and 2 CaO·SiO 2), the remainder consisting of aluminium- and iron-containing clinker phases and other compounds.
Cement clinker is a solid material produced in the manufacture of portland cement as an intermediary product. Clinker occurs as lumps or nodules, usually 3 millimetres (0.12 in) to 25 millimetres (0.98 in) in diameter.
Bricks can be joined using mortar, adhesives or by interlocking. [1] [2] Bricks are usually produced at brickworks in numerous classes, types, materials, and sizes which vary with region, and are produced in bulk quantities. [3]
Portland cement clinker was first made (in 1825) in a modified form of the traditional static lime kiln. [2] [3] [4] The basic, egg-cup shaped lime kiln was provided with a conical or beehive shaped extension to increase draught and thus obtain the higher temperature needed to make cement clinker.

Working dimensions is the size of a manufactured brick. It is also called the nominal size of a brick. Brick size may be slightly different due to shrinkage or distortion due to firing, etc. An example of a co-ordinating metric commonly used for bricks in the UK is as follows: [4] [5] [6] Bricks of dimensions 215 mm × 102.5 mm × 65 mm;
