by Venkat Mani

written by Venkat Mani

What is a water closet?

The water closet is a ceramic sanitary ware product which is used as a toilet. This kind of toilets is more hygiene and easy to clean. The Toilet which is designed to sit is known as water closets. Usually Sitting height of the water closet will be 400 mm (16 inches) from the ground. This sitting height 400 mm(16 inches) is not going to be always same, but it is a standard height preferred when designing a water closet toilet. Water closet will be attached to a tank for flushing the waste. That tank can be made by ceramic or plastic materials. Mostly the plastic seat and cover will be connected with the water closets. The water closet is also known as a European water closet. The minimum life of the seat cover will be around 10,000 usages by using polypropylene or polyurethane toilet covers or seats made.

WC connections

Below you can see the flow diagram of WC connection.

WC connection

WC will be connected to the drainage using rubber water sealant (gasket), and it will be fixed in-wall or floor using fittings. Then the water tank will be connected to the tank by a plastic pipe and the water pipeline connected with the water tank. At any time someone flushes the tank, water will be flushed out through the drainage. And the water will be filled in a tank through a water pipeline. A float switch will be available in the tank, which always helps to maintain a water level. Usually water tank capacity will be 6 litres to 10 litres.

Production of Water Closet

Water Closets are manufactured in sanitary ware industries. The water closet is ceramic material fired at above 1200 degree Celsius (2192 Fahrenheit). Material used to produce the toilets are sand, feldspar & clay. Desired toilet design will be built using plaster of Paris mould. Once the design is made, it is dried. Then it is required colour glaze is sprayed on the piece and sent to the firing. Once firing finishes, the toilet will be tested and sent to packing.

Water Closet quality tests

After production, WCs undergoes some quality checks. It must pass the test otherwise that WC is not suitable for use. Some of the tests are, FLUSH TEST

The water closet should satisfy the requirements of test. These tests are

1. TOILET PAPER TEST

2. HOLDING CAPACITY

3. SMUDGE TEST 4. BALL TEST

a) Double Ball test

b) Fifty Ball Test

These tests shall be conducted by conducting the water closets to low – level cistern conforming to I.S 7714, 1984 or I.S 7281, 1994. A cistern shall be 30 cm. and the water closet is conducted to the cistern by 40 mm normal diameter flushing/pipe.

TOILET PAPER TEST: The water closet shall be filled with water to its normal water seal level and charged with six pieces of usual toilet paper or polythene sheet thickness of 0.05 mm approximately and Size of 150X115 mm and loosely crumbled. It shall then be repeated four times and the ware should discharge the full charged paper.

HOLDING CAPACITY TEST: The water closet when scaled up the outlet and vent (if fitted) with water tight seal shall be capable of holding not less than 10 litres of water between the normal water level and the highest possible water closet as inserted.

SMUDGE TEST: The hole of the interior surface of the water closet to 40 mm below the flushing, the rim are smudged with quartz powder with contrasting colour passing through 1.18 mm I.S sieve and shall be flushed immediately after flushing, There should not be any smudge left below.

BALL TEST: 1. DOUBLE BALL TEST: The balls should be made of non-absorbent material. The relative density of the ball should be between 1.075 and 1.080. The diameter of the ball shall be 43+/ 0.5 mm place the balls shall be discharged in the normal manner. 2. FIFTY BALL TEST: Fifty balls of non-absorbent, having a mass each of 3.7+/-0.1 gm. And a diameter 20+/-0.1 mm shall be dropped into the water closet and flushed. Repeat the test for 5 times. A minimum of 8% of all balls should be fused out in the tests. You can refer more sanitaryware lab tests taken in Lab here.

Advantages of Water closets

Good for elder people and sick people to use. Physical activity is less required. Easy to clean. More hygiene compared to squatting pans.

Disadvantages of Water closets

More water consumption compares to conventional methods. Flushing requires 6 litters but in conventional methods, less water is required. The research found that using WC gives more knee problem in future.

What is Ceramic Engineering? Explained By Ceramic Engineer

by Venkat Mani

written by Venkat Mani

Ceramic Engineering: Learn everything about Ceramic Engineering. I am a ceramic engineer from Anna University, India. A lot of people wonder what is ceramic engineering & ceramic technology. What a ceramic engineer will do after finishing their degree? So In this post, I am going to explain, What is Ceramic engineering, Career / Jobs, Scope, Vacancy, Salary, Syllabus, Colleges, Associations, Placements, Internship, projects, Books & explain everything about it. Whoever is chosen ceramic as a career through their studies, they are called as a ceramist. In my experience, whenever I say that I am a ceramic engineer, people will raise their eyebrows and ask what is about? Many people never heard about ceramic technology course.

CERAMIC ENGINEERING IS NOT only LEARNING ABOUT POTTERY & GRANITE. IT is MUCH MORE Than that. COURSE COVERS FROM TRADITIONAL CERAMICS TO TECHNICAL CERAMICS.

In this article, I am not going to write or explain chemical formula, chemical properties, physical properties, production process and uses of ceramic materials. Because these details are easily available. The best source will be Wikipedia. But in Wikipedia, you cannot find the non-technical information related to ceramic engineering. The non-technical part is that what you are going to do after completing ceramic engineering & what will be the scope of this study and everything. So now I am going to explain about opportunities available for ceramic engineering/Technology or diploma students, career growth, how to search for jobs in ceramic industry and other cool practice stuff not boring textbook stuff. I would love to clear any of your doubts about it if I missed anything leave a comment below in the comment section so that I know what I missed here and I will answer that question. Leave an introduction about yourself in the below comment section and if you have something to say, it will be good information for all. Now we will dive into the subject let us start with the first question. Here is the information you will find in this ceramic engineering post:

What is Ceramic Engineering

Ceramic engineering is a study about Inorganic, non-metallic materials. The study covers all types of Ceramic materials, Manufacturing Process, Properties, Uses and etc. In study you will learn all the theoretical part of ceramic processing. You will know ceramic is not only used in basic application and it has advance properties that are being used in extraordinary application like nuclear reactors, Main parts of the rocket and much more application you never heard of. Ceramic engineering study has different degrees just like all other subjects. There is a certificate course which gives a basic knowledge about ceramic materials. And then a diploma course which will be a study time of 2 to 3 years. And then there come the 4 years bachelor degree engineering for ceramics. And then as you know master degree and PhD. The more you study the more you learn about the ceramic materials in depth. You have to choose the level of study according to your career plan. For working in ceramic manufacturing plant I believe a diploma or a bachelor degree is enough to cover the technical aspect of the production process and technical aspects. Normally production industries don’t prefer master degree or PhD people for production jobs. Some companies may hire for R&D purpose. If you are going for an advanced research job you must have to go of master degree in ceramics or PhD level. So decide your career you want to proceed and move your study level according to that.

Scope

Ceramic Engineering is a narrow subject so that the scope of the study is limited. There are advantage and disadvantage of this. Even though the scope is very narrow, you be a specialised person in this sector and treated a perfect professional for this job. But still, the scope is limited. You will able to get a job in limited sectors only not like a mechanical engineer or electrical engineer. As a ceramic engineer after 12 years, you may find yourself in top of the organisation sector which is not so possible in other industries.

ceramic engineering certificate 1

Below is a list what some of my classmates, seniors & juniors doing from my ceramic engineering college

Myself working in a sanitaryware production line.
My friend working in the sanitary ware lab and R& D.
Some of our senior working in a tiles production line.
One of our classmates working on Glass production line.
Tech senior joined as a lecturer in a ceramic collage.
4 of our classmates, some juniors & seniors joined in steel authority of India (SAIL).
Some have gone for government jobs like the postal department.
Few of them have gone abroad and joined MS in informational technology.
Some have joined MBA & then gone for the job.
Some seniors are working on a refractory production line.
One of my classmates joined as a research scholar in abroad.
A junior from Ceramic technology joined as an engineer on the Fibre production line.
One of my M.Tech senior also works in Sanitaryware production line.
Some seniors started small manufacturing units to supply Raw materials, equipment and machinery to ceramic factories.
One of our juniors joined in the clay processing unit.
Some have joined in IT field.

As you can see, the same as other courses, ceramic also have a wide opportunity in many areas.

What is after ceramic engineering?

Possibilities are limitless, as you have seen above what my friends are doing after done their ceramic engineering course. Whether you can join higher studies or You can get a job. If you didn’t get a job through campus selection then you will get some time between your studies and getting selected for a company. If you have decided that you are going for a job after you completing the degree then prepare yourself for job hunting. Job hunting is not easy for a ceramic engineer as far as I know. Because A computer science Engineer can get a job in any small companies but a ceramic engineer can get a job only in a big industry or a research organization. Approaching a big organization is kind of difficult and reaching key decision making person can’t be easy either. So prepare yourself for job hunting, find key contacts, reach them to find a job for you.

Ceramic engineering scope Comparision:]

Here we will compare ceramic engineering career with other engineering person career. After finishing ceramic engineering from my experience I feel these points are to be considered before choosing a ceramic engineering career. Here I have compared a computer science engineer career with ceramic engineer career.

1) Job opening: ceramic engineering Job openings are less compared to other departments. But the competition is also very less. For example, if an IT company announces 100 jobs or fresher a minimum of 2000 fresher’s will apply for that opening, in some case more than that. So the competition ratio will be 1:20. But a ceramic company announce for an opening of 5 positions then they will receive a maximum of 10 or 20 applications. Some cases the numbers will be very less. Even though many other degree holders from other specialization apply for that job but the ceramic engineer will be very less or sometimes nil. Once I have attended an interview for a production engineer position. That is a foreign company and they are looking for 5 years experienced person for that job. But I had only 1 and a half years of the interview. But I am the only person who attended the interview with a ceramic degree so I got selected. So competition is very less but finding that a small number of job opening is the key.

2) Job Location: Finding a job at a particular location will be a dream. And maximum Industries are located at the outer side of the main city. Compared to other specialization get placed where you want to be placed is very much difficult. For example, a computer science engineer can find a job at a city location because Information Technology office is normally located in the city. And many companies will be located in the same place. So finding a job at city near to home it not so difficult for computer engineers. A computer engineer can find a minimum of 10 companies for him around 60 Kms from his home. Sometimes even more than 100 companies if he stays in cities. But for ceramic engineer life, it is not that much simple. Find a job around 200 Kms itself difficult. A very limited number of companies available and nearly all companies will be a well outer side of the cities. Even if there is a company probability of available vacancy will be very less. For example, I have studied in Chennai, 3 ceramic companies are available near Chennai. But there is no vacancy for me when I finishing my college, I got a job in Hyderabad which is more than 600 Kms from my home town. So leave this ceramic engineering course if you want to stay near to home.

3) Job Position: Once you finish ceramic engineering course and if you join any industry you will be offered a decent position. That means you will not be in the bottom of organization structure. To explain even more though you are a fresher you will be looking after some number of employees and some of the people will report to you. So your work will be managing and problem-solving. But a computer science engineer will not be getting this level in origination structure. He will be the one who is doing the work and he will not be getting anyone to report to him. So ceramic engineer will get a better position when compared to other specialization.

4) Career Growth: A ceramic engineer can reach a Plant Manager (General Manager) position in 12 to 15 years of experience. Plant manager position is a top-level position in any industry. But for computer science engineer will reach his career-best position (General Manager) at 25 to 30 years of experience. So reaching top-level potion in the industry is much easier for ceramic engineering person that a computer science engineer.

5) Living at one location: No, not at all possible for a ceramic engineer. Compared to computer science engineer living at one location and changing job is not possible for a ceramic engineer. Because as I explained before ceramic industries are not located near to each other. And for career growth and other personal reason staying at one company is not possible. So a big No, No for living at one location.

Career & Jobs

What Opportunity you can get after finishing ceramic engineering. Ceramic Engineers normally will get a job in ceramic production line and ceramic research & development labs. Now I want to clear some of the doubt normally arises for ceramic students.

What are the companies that are recruiting ceramic engineers?

All sanitary ware, tiles, refractory, glass, fibre, insulators, cement, metallurgical & other ceramic related manufacturing industries would love to recruit a ceramic student.

How much difficult is for a ceramic student to get a job?

Normally approaching a manufacturing industry is very difficult when you are a fresher. But once you get experience, then it is easy for you to change companies. And still many ceramic industries are managed by mechanical and chemical students. So when you compete with them in an interview ceramic student will be preferred.

What will be the minimum and maximum salary for a ceramic engineer?

Fresher from ceramic engineering college will get a minimum of 5000 Dollars per annum. It depends on which collages from you are graduating and the company you are getting offers. Metallurgy, Glass, refractory and advance ceramic companies will offer more pay than sanitaryware, tiles, cement & other ceramic manufacturers.

Which field is best for ceramic professional as per career growth?

Different Fields in ceramic industries offer different career growth. As per our experience, we feel that carrier growth, according to the order mentioned below,

Research & Advance ceramics
Metallurgy
Glass
Refractory
Sanitary ware
Tableware
Tiles & Cement

This above order may vary according to the company, Location & position which you are employed, For example, an engineer from an MNC glass industry may get higher salary than an engineer in the small metallurgy company. And above list is limited core ceramic industry. They are many companies offers a job to a ceramic professional. All the companies that are related to the core industry require ceramic professionals. Sometimes these companies pay more than the core industry because of the specialized skill required. Changing from one field to another field within the ceramic line is not advisable and it is impossible after a period of experience.

What other skills are those required for ceramic professionals to be competitive? We suggest developing some extra skills through extra courses to be competitive in the industry. Those are lean management (Six Sigma), excellent computer operating knowledge like making a technical drawing, Powerpoint presentation & drawing a flow chart. Learning software like MS Office, Photoshop, Basic auto cad & MS Visio is recommended. Taking an Industrial safety course for the industry is another helpfull to be competitive in the industry. Every day new technologies are developed so keeping in touch with the latest technology in the field is very important.

Is it difficult for a ceramic fresher to get a job?

I say no. Why? Because when we look at how many numbers of ceramic manufacturing (Cement, Glass, sanitaryware, Tiles, Insulator, Refractory, metallurgical & other) in the world. It would be more than 10,000. A ceramic manufacturing company requires a minimum of 10 ceramic professionals. But some of the large companies require more than 40 ceramic professionals from diploma level to PhD level. so if we take a minimum of 10 people per industry, then around 1,00,000 jobs are available and every year a minimum of 2500 jobs is being created for ceramic professionals. But every year not more than 2000 ceramic professionals come out of college. And not all students for ceramic industry always chose careers in the ceramic industry, nearly more than half of the ceramic professional looks jobs outside of the ceramic industry. That is why getting a job for a ceramic fresher is not so difficult. But normally job in industries are more like to be filled with referrals. So contacts, play a major role in job finding in the industry.

Job searching tips

Searching a job is a really difficult task when you have no contact within the industry. In industries, 70% of jobs are filled through contacts only. So when you want job in industry you need to watch out very closely to get a job. Once you get an experience you can build up contacts. Then it is easy for you to search and change your company. I have listed below some of the tips on how a ceramic engineering student can find a job in the industry. It is not limited only to ceramic engineering students it also for ceramic diploma student.

Do project in industries not in a research laboratory or college laboratory:

If you want a job in the production industry then do your final year ceramic engineering students should do their project in industry. When doing the project you have to explore job opportunity in that same company. Talk to the plant manager or production manager of that company. Request a job for you. In industry Plant manager or production manager has full power to give you a job. Even there is no opportunity at that moment they have the power to create a job for you. So when you doing a project impress them with your talent. Solve one of the biggest issues in production. It will help you to land a job in that company. Normally the biggest issue will be rejection or defects and utilization of full production capacity. When you enter an industry, observe the list of issues and try to find a solution for some of the issues. Then make a PPT and submit to GM or production manager. Trust me this method works because I got an offer. But playing in the industry will never help you to get a job.

Search Jobs in Social Media:

You need to concentrate on three social Medias other than job portals.

Facebook: Join Groups related to the ceramic industry. Search keywords like a ceramic engineer, glass, Sanitaryware and etc.. Many groups are created by industrial people sometimes they will share job opportunity. And employees also create groups for their company. Search company name and look for groups and post you profile in that group.
Twitter: User search box on twitter. An example search key WordPress are ceramic engineering jobs, ceramic jobs, glass jobs, sanitaryware jobs & etc.
LinkedIn: A social networking site for working professionals. Join groups related to ceramic and join in the conversation.

Social media will help you to get more contacts which will lead to a job opportunity. Other Job finding tips:

Write an article related to ceramic industry and link to your social media page or leave your email id. I get a lot of contacts through this website. If you want to submit an article related to the ceramic industry in this website or Want some idea about which topic you can write article or Want to start a new website on your own then you can contact me. I can help you to publish article on this website or start a new website for your own. Mail me at vm3567@gmail.com

Create a Google alert for keywords like “ceramic engineer jobs”, “Ceramic engineer vacancy“ and other words related to ceramic engineer jobs. Same like this you can create many keyword alerts. Other example keywords are “glass company jobs”, “sanitaryware vacancy”, “sanitaryware jobs” & etc…

Salary

As we already discussed the salary of the ceramic engineer may vary based on many factors. We have listed out some of the major factors which will decide your salary.

• The college you have studied.

• The field you chose in ceramics. (We have discussed the fields in the previous chapter) • Years of experience you have.

• Your communication.

• Your technical knowledge in that area you looking for a job.

• Your Negotiation skill.

• The location of your company & policy of the company.

• The position which you are going to join.

• Your day to day Responsibilities.

• The tax imposed by the government.

• The competition for your post your applying.

• The country you going to work.

• Last but not least your luck.

As rough Calculation, we can say a fresher in the ceramic field can get around 5000 Dollars per annum. Again this is a rough calculation based on the factor I know. But I know there are some people who got a hooping 9000 Dollars per annum. So to get a high starting salary you need to set a goal and work accordingly. You have to target a sector which you want to work and grow skills in that sector. Try to do make connections with the people in that industrial sector. There are many ways to make connections with this person the best way is going through your college’s seniors. Try to do and implant training/ Internship. So that you know the process in that particular industry and when you go for an interview you can give answers to satisfy the interviewer.

For an Experienced person, the salary mainly depends upon the sector and the experience in that industry. As we have seen in the scope and career section after 10- 15 years when you find a top-level position in the organization structure you may get 25,000 $ – 40,000 $ per Annum. These salary figures are given as per Indian Companies. India will not have so much tax deductions like USA and etc;

Syllabus

The Ceramic Engineering Syllabus covers all-ceramic materials like glass, sanitaryware, tiles, refractory, insulators, advance ceramics and etc. You will study the production process, properties and uses of these materials. The depth of the syllabus level will vary according to the level of studies you choose like a diploma, Bachelor degree, Master degree and PhD.

Sanitary ware Manufacturing/Production Process

by Venkat Mani

written by Venkat Mani

Sanitary ware manufacturing/production process consists of 10 steps from Body preparation to Packing.

sanitary ware manufacturing production process

Body Preparation

In Sanitary ware Manufacturing/Production process body preparation is the first step. In this process, Slip is produced by mixing Ball clay, Silica, China clay and feldspar. This composition is called Tri-axial body. Consist of Body former, Filler and flux. Body former is plastic material which is required to give strength at the green stage of the sanitary ware. The filler is non-plastic material which is going to give strength after the firing. Flux is a non-plastic material which added to the body to reduce the fusion temperature point of the body during firing. All raw materials are mixed at the proper position and brought to required physical parameters.

Usually following theological parameters are checked after slip preparations – Fluidity, Thixotropic of the slip at 1 minute and 5 minutes, lighter weight.

These parameters will vary depending upon the composition, climate, casting (Bench casting, high-pressure casting, Low pressure casting for sanitary ware and others) required casting rate.

Supply slip will be a mixture of virgin slip, runoff slip & scrap slip. This composition also will vary according to the availability of the scrap slip available and required casting rate.

Once slip prepared according to the required parameter, it will be sent to slip storage silos. Whenever slip is required, then it will be supplied to the casting department for casting.

Glaze Preparation

In this process, the glaze prepared for spraying department. Body preparation and glaze preparation are a parallel process. Different colours of glaze will be made according to the requirement. The raw material used for glaze preparations is zircon, feldspar, quartz, calcite, china clay and zinc oxide. Raw materials ground in a ball mill and particle size tested before unloaded from ball mill. Alumina ball used in ball mils because of its strength. The glaze will be passed through sieves to remove coarse particles and magnets to remove iron particles. Sample spraying will be done and fired to check the final colour of the glaze. The glaze should be approved by a lab before used in manufacturing/production. Before supply to the spraying, the glaze will be mixed with a binder to give the required properties. Density, drying time, fluidity and viscosity are maintained to get the proper spray.

Moulding/Mould Preparation

In this process required shape and size mould will be produced for casting. Case moulds are received form case making section to Moulding section. Case moulds used cast plaster moulds. Mould is prepared using mixing water with Plaster of Paris in a proper ratio. Plaster of Paris chemical formula is CaSO₄.1/2 H₂O. Usually, the ratio between plaster and water will be around 4:3. This ratio may vary little depends on the purity of the plaster, required strength for the mould, etc. For a single ware up to four moulds for complex models, it will be even more. Once the mould is prepared, it will be dried in drier to remove the excess water from the mould. This stage is crucial to increase the life of the mould. The plaster used for mould making is known as beta plaster for their absorbent properties. Plaster mould will be used in normal castings. Resin mould is used for high-pressure casting.

Casting

There are different types of casting available for sanitary ware. They are normal bench casting, battery casting, beam casting, low-pressure casting and high-pressure casting for sanitaryware. Every casting has its advantage and disadvantages. The process of casting in same in all types of casting, slip is poured into the mould and allowed to form the casting layer on the mould. Then the excess slip is drained through a drain hole. Now casted ware is allowed to dried and then released from the mould. In this stage, the ware is known as greenware. This greenware is allowed to dry in atmospheric temperature for one to three days before sent to drier. Before drying that greenware should be finish for smooth joint edges, repair small cracks, small pinholes, bad finishing, etc. Once this ware is ready, it will send to drier for drying. The moisture content of the greenware before drier will be varying from 22% to 12%.

Drying

Green piece form casting will be sent to Control and spraying through Drier. In Drier, Green MOR of the ware improved by removing the mechanically combined water from ware. The moisture content of greenware after drier will be varying from 1.5% to 0.5%. The drying process will take from 6.5 hours to 12 hrs. Drier may be batch drier or tunnel drier. The batch drier will be loaded at once and unloaded at once. Tunnel drier will be fed continuously with ware and continuously discharged at other ends. Gradual heat will be done from atmosphere temperature to 110 C to 120 C. During this process, and ware will lose its weight and shrink in size.

Control & Spraying

In this section, ware will be inspected for a defect. Defected wares will be repaired or rejected depends upon the defects. Usually, the control and spraying department will be handled by the same team. Kerosene is used to find the defects in the wares. Properly checked ware will be sent to spraying are for spraying.

Glaze received from glaze house will be used for spraying. Different colours sprayed in wares as per the production schedule. Manual methods or robotic methods will do the spraying. In spraying 0.8 mm to 1.6 mm thickness of the glaze is applied on the wares as per the requirement. Once spraying completed, it is allowed some time to dry for a few minutes. Then logo is printed on ware using screen printing method or decal methods. Nowadays after firing also log printing is done by using powered printing machine.

Firing

Sprayed ware loaded in kiln car. Dust and other impurities are removed from ware by air blower or vacuum. Usually, The Kiln maximum temperature will be 1250 C. Different types of the kiln can be used for firing (shuttle kiln, tunnel kiln), usually tunnel kiln is used. Shuttle kiln is used for refiring. Sanitary ware kiln has three zones, preheating, firing and cooling zones. In preheating zone mechanically and chemically combined water has been removed from the ware. At firing zone, all the raw material are fused together, and glaze is fused evenly. In the cooling zone, sudden cooling is done to create a glossy surface. Once the product is fired, it will be moved to the sorting area.

Sorting

In this stage of the process, all wares from the kiln are inspected and sorted according to the Defects. If ware is defects free, then it will be sent to the packing section for packing. If ware has minor defects like pin holes, then it will be repaired by cold fill. It has a light glaze or wavy or blob then it will be sent to refire section. Find All sanitaryware defects. If there is a crack, it will be rejected. This quality check is very important to maintain standards. And also random sampling will be made for a flush test, smoke test, leak test and load test.

Refire/Rework

All repair wares will be sent to the rework section for minor repairs. All ware is required according to the defect and sent to tunnel kiln. Once repaired and fired again, it will be inspected and again separated as per the grade. If quality standards are met, then it will be sent to packing. If needs repairing again, it will repair in refire section. Major and un-repairable wares will be sent to the rejected area. These are normally war-page or cracked pieces.

Packing

It is the final stage of the sanitary ware manufacturing/production process. All Sanitary wares that are passed quality standards are packed and dispatched to the warehouse.

Conclusion

Other than these sections – Lab, New product development and Mould & case are making section also involved in Sanitary ware manufacturing/production process. This process is only an outline of the sanitary ware manufacturing/ production process. All process are discussed in detail in other sections.

10 Points to Consider while selecting a Toilet for your Bathroom

by Venkat Mani

written by Venkat Mani

We have listed ten essential and necessary points, which may help you before buying the most prompt Toilet for our home according to your customised needs. The toilet is an essential part of our house, it is an essential thing used in our day to day life, and in most of the homes, the same toilet is going to be used for around 15 to 20 years. Always before selecting such an item, which should have more durability to serve for more than a decade, it is better to look over the essential aspects such that it will give you a fulfilment while using it. Hence, before buying a toilet for our home, we have to think about these fundamental points like design, price, model etc., and then choose the right one, which suits our home in all aspects. While selecting a toilet each person may have a different point of view. This post has listed some of the primary points while choosing a toilet, which may help you in selecting a suitable and best one for your bathroom.

10 points to consider while choosing a toilet for your bathroom

Let us now look at the basic and essential points, which have to be considered while selecting a toilet for your bathroom.

Design

10 points to consider while choosing a toilet for your bathroom design toilet

The first point is the design of the toilet. Always when we go to buy a product, everyone notices the look/design of the toilet. Toilets are available in various designs. You can have a look at ten types of toilet link and get an idea about the designs of the toilets available at the market. By seeing the designs, you can choose a toilet design which you like and suits your bathroom.

Size

10 points to consider while selecting a toilet for your bathroom size

Next important point is the size of the toilet. Toilets are available in various sizes. The size of the toilet decided according to the size of the bathroom. You have to choose the size of the toilet, which goes well with your bathroom size. If you select a bigger size toilet for a small bathroom, you may face out of space problem, so choose the size of the toilet, which fits your bathroom well. Also, you have to decide the size of the toilet, which suits your body weight. We get toilets in many sizes, toilets, which are low in height and width, and large in height and width, are also available so you can select the size by your choice, which suits your bathroom space and your body weight.

Colour

10 points to consider while selecting a toilet for your bathroom size

When we come to Colour, we can choose the colour of a toilet which matches your home wall colour. Nowadays we get toilets in various exciting colours. Also, there are many decorated. Designed toilets are available. When you choose a decorative toilet, you can buy as a set which comes as a pack containing Toilet and wash basin along with pedestal with the same design that gives a good and unique look to your bathroom.

Flushing Mechanism

10 points to consider while selecting a toilet for your bathroom flushing system

The next point to be considered is the Flushing Mechanism. This Flushing Mechanism is another important aspect to be noted before buying a toilet. There are two types in flushing mechanism single flush and dual flush. Some toilets have a single flushing mechanism, and some have dual flushing mechanism. Single flush utilises more water at single-use. Always it’s better to choose dual flush toilet while buying. The advantage of using a dual flushing mechanism is it saves water when compared to single flush models. Also, in the flushing mechanism, you can choose the internal flushing tank, which is called a Concealed tank. A concealed tank can be fixed inside the wall so that the tank is invisible and the tank can be connected to the toilet. Wall hung toilet can be used in this concealed tank. In the other flushing ways like a single piece and two-piece mechanisms, the tank will be placed in the upper level. By going through the details about the flushing mechanism, you can select a choice of yours which suits your bathroom.

Trap way

Next comes the Trap way; there are two types of Trap P-trap and S-trap. If your house is in ground level S- trap is suggested for your toilet because it is easy to connect the hatch-trap to the ground level. If the house is in upper level from the ground like if your home is on the first floor or above that, you can choose P-trap because it is connected to the wall. Hence, the trap can be selected according to the level of the bathroom from the ground level.

Functionality

We should also see the functionality of the toilet available before selecting. There are automatic and semi-automatic toilets available. We can choose our choice of the model required. The feature also includes the water closet, seat cover and the plastic tank. You can refer the post Types of toilet seat cover link and what is Water closet link and get an idea about the functionality of the toilet and make use of it while selecting a toilet for your home. This post would be more useful for you before choosing a toilet for your home.

Flushing Capacity (Water saving)

10 points to consider while selecting toilet for your bathroom flushing capacity

10 points to consider while selecting a toilet for your bathroom flushing capacity

There are toilets available with various levesl of flushing capacity like there are flushing tanks with capacity as follows: 1 litre / 2 litre / 3 litre / 4 litre / 5 litre / and more water to flush your toilets. Nowadays water is a more important mania, which has to be saved for the future purpose. As the best choice keeping in your mind that you can select a water-saving flushing tank for your bathroom.

Price

An essential point to be noted is the Price of the Toilet because we can choose a toilet, which comes in our budget. There are many models with many facilities available from lower price till upper price, and you can select the best toilet which comes in your budget.

Brand

After going through all the above points, we can finally come to select the brand of the toilet. In ceramic, there are so many brands available. There will not be a significant variation among the brands and most of the brands provide high strength products only. Hence, we have given the brand as the last point to be considered but even though if you wish you can go through the brands that provide toilet and select your choice of brand for your home.

Conclusion

By going through all the above factors, you would have got an idea to select the best choice of a toilet for your home. This post would help even for a person who has no idea about the Toilet. Now you would have earned a knowledge regarding the features of a toilet and can buy a new toilet with useful features for your bathroom. Hope you would have got used of this post, if you have any more queries put it in the comment box I will try to clear it as much as possible.

Normally all washbasins are made using ceramic material only because of the durability and Strength. But nowadays Acrylic plastic, Stainless steel also used to produce washbasin. But acrylic wash basins will not have advantages like ceramic washbasin only the aesthetic appearance will be different which cannot be achieved by ceramic material. And also only tabletop washbasin will be made using the acrylic material because of the strength issue. Normally stainless steel is cheaper than the ceramic washbasin and light in weight.

acrylic types washbasins

Types of Washbasin Based on Design / Models

In this section we try to cover all the type of washbasin you can find in anywhere. Here we use design to classify the kind of wash basin. In this section we will discuss only about ceramic wash basins.

Integrated pedestal

Have you seen this kind of washbasin anywhere?. Most probably not. Why? That because this is new to market. It is like a single piece toilet. Washbasin and pedestal are not produced separately. They are produced in a single mould in sanitary ware manufacturing industry. So the design will look stunning. You will face fewer problems during fitting of this particular washbasin because pedestal & washbasin are fused together during manufacturing itself. This washbasin will be costliest of all models. You can get wall mount and floor mount model of integrated washbasin. Wall mount washbasin will be half pedestal type and floor mount will be full pedestal type.

integrate pedestal with washbasins type

Wash basin with Pedestal

This Model you must have seen around you. You will see a washbasin that is supported on a pedestal. These both are made by ceramic material only. Washbasin will have a rack bolt hole to fix it to the wall and Pedestal will be used to hide the water drain pipe. So if you are looking for open area then you can use this kind of washbasins which will hide the drain pipe line.

wash basin with half pedestal type

These Washbasins with pedestal have two different types

Wash basin with Full pedestal
Washbasin with Half pedestal

Washbasin with full pedestal will be supported by Floor and the washbasin will be fixed in wall. Wash basins with Half pedestal will be fixed in the wall by rack bolt hole with screw.

Wall hung Wash basin type

In this model you will get washbasin. There will be no pedestal. Washbasin will be fixed in wall by using screw. Normally this kind of wash basin will be small in size because high weight washbasin may not hang in the wall by the screw for long time. So these model washbasin are all always in small size and less in weight.

wall hung type washbasin

Corner Washbasin

A Type of wash basin you will find in many hotel bathrooms. The fitting is same like wall hung wash basin. Due the design it is called as corner washbasin. It can be fixed only in the corner of room. The main advantage of this wash basins is it saves you lot of space in the room. Find the image below.

corner wash basin type

Table Top or Cabinet Wash basin

From the name itself you must have found out what is table top or cabinet washbasin. This kind of washbasins will not have a rack bolt hole. The washbasin will have a flat surface in the bottom so that it will be kept in a flat surface like table or shelf. This wash basin can be available in various sizes from 400 mm to 1000 mm.

table top wash basins types

Sink

Sink is a type of wash basin which is used in lab or Houses. Sink is a rectangular shape wash basin without tap hole. Depth of the sink will be available from 150 mm to 500 mm.

a sink type model

Counter Washbasin

You will find this kind of washbasins in hotels. A bowl designed in circular / oval / square or rectangular shape with rim is known as counter wash basin. Counter washbasin rim are support on the slab with hole.

over counter type washbasins

There are two types of counter wash basin:

Types of Counter Wash basins are

Under Counter washbasin
Over Counter washbasin

A simple understanding concept between the under and over counter washbasin is that if you can see the rim then it is under counter washbasin but if you cannot able to see the rim then it is over counter wash basin.

2 in 1 Washbasin

You have seen all the wash basins models above. But sometimes two features of washbasin are combined in design to get the best features. Some of the examples are given below,

Corner washbasin with flat surface to use it as a corner table top wash basin
Table top washbasin with rack bolt hole to be used as a wall hung wash basin

Classification of Ceramic Wash basin

As you know that we are using ceramic wash basin. But have you know there are two types of ceramic materials used to produce the wash basin. Now we will see the two materials.

Vitreous china body
Fire clay or Fine fire clay

95% of washbasin are produced in sanitary ware industry are using vitreous china materials. But for Large washbasins fire clay body is used in production. This is because the fire clay body will have lesser percentage of shrinkage during production. A high thickness washbasin can be produced using fireclay body. the body made using fine fire clay will be much whiter than the vitreous china body.

Conclusion

In this article, we have analyzed all possible types and Designs/models of washbasin you can find in the market. If you are looking to buy wash basin and still not able to decide which one you want to go comment below with your expectation and we will help you to choose one.
