1、Designation: C1527/C1527M 11 (Reapproved 2018)Standard Specification forTravertine Dimension Stone1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1527/C1527M; the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last r
2、evision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval. A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the material characteristics,physical requirements, and sampling appropriate to the selec-tion of
3、travertine for general building and structural purposes.Refer to Guides C1242 and C1528 for the appropriate selectionand use of travertine dimension stone.1.2 Dimension travertine shall include stone that is sawed,cut, split, or otherwise finished or shaped and shall specificallyexclude molded, cast
4、, or otherwise artificially aggregated unitscomposed of fragments, and also crushed and broken stone.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be use
5、d independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment o

10、ts prescribed in Table 1.4.2 Travertine shall be free of minerals that may causeobjectionable staining under normal environments of use.4.3 Voids in travertine are a natural characteristic of thematerial and shall be considered in assessing the permissiblenatural variations suitable for a particular
11、 application.4.3.1 Some travertines may not be suitable for exterior usein areas subject to frequent freeze-thaw cycles.4.3.2 Travertine that is fleuri-cut (cross-cut) rather thanvein-cut can be expected to experience certain problems,because some areas of the exposed surface will consist of onlya t

Where two or more stone varieties are combined for color and design effects, there should be no greater difference than five points in abrasionresistance.BThe supplier of the No. 60 Alundum abrasive, Norton, has indicated that the formula for Norton treatment
26、 138S has been changed. The new abrasive is currently moreaggressive, resulting in lower abrasion resistance values (Ha) than when the standard was initially established. As such, care should be taken when interpreting Havaluesfrom tests using the new abrasive, particularly with regard to currentAST
27、M stone standard specification requirements for abrasion resistance, which were developed whenthe original abrasive was still in use.CIt is not necessary to perform both tests. Availability of the proper equipment and materials by the testing laboratory may determine which test is performed.C1527/C1527M 11 (2018)2
