Imposition of the pot is done every 10 secondsand the load mass increases (see figure 2) every10 seconds too. On the curve is seen thatexponential phase happen followed by a lagphase that states the force pot threshold and thedeath phase of pot declared maximum powerand started to crack.Figure 4. The Durability Comparison Curve against Discounter Mass between Vetiver Pot and Regular Pot at Emphasison Testing in 0o positionFigure 5. The Durability Comparison Curve against Discounter Mass between Vetiver Pot and Regular Pot at Emphasison Testing in 180o positionBased on the results of power pot test generatedthe different crack pot. When the waste vetiverpot given maximum load, pot indirectlycracked. This is caused by the waste burntvetiver fibers that hold pots. The fibers fromwaste vetiver dough stronger bond. Unlikeregular pots. When the regular pot was givenby the maximum load it will instantly crackpot. This is due to there arenothing material that can resist the crack potlike waste fibers. The fibers in the waste burntvetiver pot serves as a frame. From the dataanalisis can conclused that waste vetiver potstronger than regular pot. Another advantage ofpots made from waste burnt vetiver is to reducethe use of sand. The two doughs that is giventhe same proportion of the cement and the sand,while the other dough is added with the burntvetiver waste that is used to make two potswhereas the dough just for one pot. In addition,the mixing of waste burnt vetiver as a pot canreduce environmental pollution.441
