【国外标准】 Standard Specification for Serpentine Dimension Stone

This specification covers the material characteristics, physical requirements, and sampling methods appropriate for the selection of serpentine (serpentine marble) dimension stone for general building and structural purposes. Dimension serpentine shall include stone that is sawed, cut, split, or otherwise finished or shaped, and shall specifically exclude molded, cast, or otherwise artificially aggregated units composed of fragments, and also crushed and broken stone. The physical property requirements to which serpentine stones shall adhere to are absorption by weight, density, compressive strength, modulus of rupture, abrasion resistance, and flexural strength.1.1 This specification covers the material characteristics, physical requirements, and sampling appropriate for the selection of serpentine (serpentine marble) for general building and structural purposes. Refer to Guides C1242 and C1528 for the appropriate selection and use of serpentine dimension stone.1.2 Dimension serpentine shall include stone that is sawed, cut, split, or otherwise finished or shaped and shall specifically exclude molded, cast, or otherwise artificially aggregated units composed of fragments, and also crushed and broken stone.1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
