1、Designation: C 503 08aStandard Specification forMarble Dimension Stone1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 503; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses in

2、dicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript 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 marble for general building and str

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsAll definitions are in accordance with Ter-minology C119.4. Classification4.1 Dimension marble is classified as follows:4.

Classifications are based on theproperties encountered in fabrication and has no referencewhatsoever to compa

8、rative merit or value. Marble is classifiedby its producer.5.2 The Soundness classifications indicate what repairs maybe necessary prior to or during installation, based on standardtrade practices.5.3 The groupings A, B, C, and D, should be taken intoaccount when specifying marble, for all marbles a

This is particularly true ofthe comparatively fragile marbles classified under SoundnessGroups C and D, which may need additional fabrication beforeor during installation. Only Soundness Group A marble shouldbe used for exterior installations, or any app

It does not refer to the application of paste wax to make the surfacesshinier.4Sticking describes the

15、butt edge repair of a broken piece now generally donewith dowels, cements or epoxies. The pieces are “stuck” together, thus “sticking.”5Fillingvoids, such as those which occur naturally in marble, can be filled withpolyester compounds.1Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700

Physical Properties6.1 Marble supplied under this specification shall conformto the physical requirements prescribed in Table 1.6.2 Marble for exterior dimension use shall be SoundnessGroup A stone, free of spalls, cracks, open seam

19、lications.6.5 Soundness Group D marbles can be reinforced, filled orcemented for use on vertical interior applications. This groupmay also be suitable for use in some light-to medium-dutyinterior pedestrian surface applications.7. Sampling7.1 Samples for testing to determine the characteristics andp

Where two or more marbles are combined for color and design effects, there should be no greater difference than 5 points in abrasion resistance.CThe supplier of the No. 60Alundum abrasive, Norton, has indicated that the formula for Norton treatment 138S has

29、 been changed. The new abrasive is currrently moreaggressive, resulting in lower abrasive hardness 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 currentASTM stone st

Committee C18 is actively studying alternatives to address this issue.DAbrasion Resistance Test Method C 1353 will eventually replace Test Method C 241. It is not necessary to perform both tests. Availability of the proper equipment andmaterials by the testing laboratory may determine which test is performed.C 503 08a2
