Natural Stone quality
standards and testing methods
Appearance Quality
Natural natural granite and marble architectural sheet metal
plate in the actual construction of the decorative effect of the problems is
easy color, the color difference in saying Stone was known as the standard color
pattern is to reconcile, is the appearance of a quality index. Quality also
includes exterior appearance of defects that lack Prism, missing Kok, crack,
stain, the color line, Hang Waterloo, marble plates are warping, depression,
stigma, and other exterior defects.
The natural granite and marble exterior architectural sheet standard quality
indicators, the same sheet of basic color pattern should reconcile and
outstanding materials does not allow any appearance of defects.
Defect detection methods, will be seized on the ground-sheet, 1.5
meters away from the plate visible defects as flawed; 1.5 m away from the plate
not obvious, but in the foreseeable 1 m no obvious deficiencies as deficiencies;
Sheet 1 m away from the invisible defects deemed Defects. Because of the color
difference Natural Stone widespread problem, so users in selected after Stone
varieties to select the best agreement plate, high-volume orders, but also so.
Agreement to the plate to some, it is necessary to fully show the variety of
color patterns. Agreement plate at the same time so that the parties concerned
should have a piece of all, to unify the standards, to avoid unnecessary
disputes occurred.
Mirror gloss sheen of the mirror plate is a very important indicator.
Luster refers to decorative plate surface reflection of the degree of visible
light. In Stone standards, gloss called mirror gloss. The existing natural
granite sheet standards require that the mirror plate should have a positive
gloss mirror, the clear reflection of scenery. Mirror Mirror gloss sheet of
value should not be less than 75 gloss units, or by both supply and demand model
for the implementation of the agreement. Standards for gloss minimum value is a
basic value, most of the gloss granite sheet value in the 80 - to 90 shiny flat,
it has a good mirror sheen. Therefore, users can according to their different
requirements specified in the purchase contract should reach gloss value, or by
agreement Plate gloss values as a standard. The newly revised national standards
of natural granite sheet, the minimum value has been gloss luster from the 75
units has been raised to 80 gloss units.
Existing standards of natural marble plate on gloss values were
grading, and the same level of the minimum gloss values are the main ingredients
for chemical differ. Excellence in goods value of the minimum gloss on different
chemical PCA divided into three categories, namely 90,80,60 gloss units.
Determination of the standard value is fully into account the chemical
composition of the polishing process, combined with a large number of test
established. The marble on the market today sheet mainly imported marble, but is
basically in the form of the MAO Guang board to enter the market again under
different requirements cut into various engineering plate. According to the test
results in recent years, these marble sheet gloss mirror basically able to
achieve standards requirements.
Processing quality
Stone processing directly affects the quality of the decorative stone
finishes effect, Stone is the main basis for classification system. These
technical specifications indicators were deviations size (length bias, deviation
width, thickness deviation), the flatness tolerance, the point of tolerance.
Under these technical indicators and the deviation tolerance limit will be
divided into Excellence sheet goods, first-class materials, qualified goods.
Users may, under their own situation, in the purchase contract provisions to
achieve the grade and avoid the use of "reach the state standards" and other
products bearing the general may require suppliers to produce each batch of
products products inspection reports. Pay attention to each product, if the
goods are not allowed to Excellence is more than 5% of first-class goods exist,
if it is first-class goods is not allowed to have more than 10% of eligible
goods exist, if it is not allowed to have qualified for more than 10% of the
substandard goods there.
Physical properties of the physical properties of Stone Stone is the
most important indicators of the safety performance indicators, in particular
its exterior is stone, especially dry hanging Stone senior directly affect
personal and property safety. Indicators of physical properties often mean bulk
density, water absorption, drying compression strength, flexural strength four,
four tests in general can only professional quality inspection centers. Granite,
marble sheet Stone standards and strict standards have specific targets, it is
natural stone material itself reflects the important indicators. Each user
should require suppliers to provide sheet metal physical properties of the
inspection reports or send samples to detect and avoid some weathered material
and intensity hang low stone wall, leaving potential safety problems.
National mandatory standards GB6566-2001 "building materials
radionuclide limits" Since July 1, 2002 from the start of the radioactive
materials will be divided into the standard A, B, C three categories detailed in
the table below:
Radioactive category (category)
