Failure Analysis of a Failed Ceramic Water Holding Tank on a Toilet
By: Dr. Thomas Read
The cracked tank was first inspected in the "as received" condition. In this condition it was cracked, but it was still whole. Next, the failed tank was separated by pulling it apart. This was done to expose the fracture surfaces of the main crack. This allowed for a complete failure analysis and for a determination of where the crack initiated.
