The DPT determines the compressive strength of thin mortar specimens by means of compressing the center area of the specimen with steel rods. The DPT allows for some simulation of mortar joint confinement. The DPT involves the use of two steel rods tapered at the ends to create a circular loading surface with a ¾-inch diameter.
