16、 United Kingdom. EN 12407:2007 (E) 4 Introduction A petrographic description of natural stone is important not only for the purposes of petrographic classification but also in order to highlight features influencing its chemical, physical and mechanical behaviour. In the same way the determination o

17、f the stones origin could be necessary (e.g. in the case of restoration of historical monuments). It is therefore essential to characterize the natural stones not only from the point of view of their mineral components and of their fabric and structure but also in terms of any features as: colour, p

18、resence of veins, of fossils, of discontinuities, etc. To ensure that the petrographic classification is objective, it is essential that the characterization of the material be, as far as possible, quantitative. EN 12407:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies methods for making technica

19、l petrographic descriptions of natural stone, except for roofing slates. For this product, the method for the petrographic examination is defined in EN 12326 2. Although chemical and physical methods of analysis are required for petrographic classification of some stone types, these methods will not

20、 be described in this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The macroscopic description may involve a visual inspection aided by a hand lens or a stereoscopic microscope. Then one or more thin sectio

22、ns prepared from the sample are examined using a petrographic microscope in order to give a microscopic description of the sample; where appropriate an additional polished section shall be prepared. 4 Apparatus 4.1 Hand lens or stereoscopic microscope (if required) 4.2 Rock cutter with sliding guide

Any other staining method different from those mentioned shall be clearly stated in the working order. 5.2 Staining 5.2.1 Feldspar staining In order to carry out the feldspar staining, the thin section shall be subjected to HF acid vapour under the extracting hood and during one minute, using a

27、plastic recipient of the same size of the cover glass. Then three drops of a solution of sodium cobaltonitrite are dropped over the section and left to act during 4 to 5 min. Then the section is washed with water: the K-feldspar is stained with yellow tones whereas the other feldspars and quartz sho

28、w no change. 5.2.2 Carbonate staining If samples are suspected of containing carbonates, their selective staining can be carried out. Samples are attacked with a HCl solution 1:20 and then immersed in a alizarine solution during 3 min. Then samples are washed with water and are left to dry in open a

29、ir. Calcite will then stain with a dark red colour, dolomite will maintain its original colour and other carbonates will be stained between rose and violet colour depending on the case. It is possible to discriminate other carbonates than calcite using other chemical attacks, but this in not frequen

The following items shall be included in the macroscopic description. 6.2 The general colour or range of colours of the hand specimen. The colour can be estimated
