Know natural stone potential with strength tests – Indian ...
This test is vital for evaluating the stone's resistance to crushing loads. A wall stone has to bear the compressive load of the stone's weight. A stone floor has to withstand loads of people and heavy objects. So, compressive strength is the highest load per unit area borne by the stone without giving in. A higher compressive strength between1,800 psi ( MPa) and 19,000 psi (131 MPa ...
