ASTM C170 – Standard Test Method for Compressive Strength of Dimension Stone
Description:
Significance and Use
4.1 This test method is useful in indicating the differences in compressive strength between the various dimension stones. This test method also provides one element in comparing stones of the same type.
Scope
1.1 This test method covers the sampling, preparation of specimens, and determination of the compressive strength of dimension stone.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system are not necessarily exact equivalents; therefore, to ensure conformance with the standard, each system shall be used independently of the other, and values from the two systems shall not be combined.
