For undated references, the latest version (including all amendments) applies to this document. GB/T 13890 Natural Stone Terminology GB/T 17670 Unified numbering of natural stone

3 Terms and definitions

The following terms and definitions defined in GB/T 13890 apply to this document. 3.1 True density Exclude the influence of open and closed pores contained in the stone, reflecting the true density of the rock. 3.2 True porosity The volume percentage of closed pores contained in the stone.

4 Equipment

4.1 Blast drying oven. The temperature can be controlled within the range of 65℃±5℃. 4.2 Balance. Maximum weighing 1000g, accuracy 10mg; Maximum weighing.200g, accuracy 1mg. 4.3 Water tank. The bottom surface is flat, and there is a glass rod as a sample support. 4.4 Metal mesh basket. It can meet the requirements of various specifications and has sufficient rigidity. 4.5 Pycnometer. the volume is 25mL~30mL.

5 Sample

5.1 Water absorption and bulk density 5.1.1 The sample is a cube with a side length of 50mm or a cylinder with a diameter and a height of 50mm, the size deviation is ±0.5mm, and each group is five pieces. For special requirements, other regular-shaped samples can be used, and the geometric volume of the shape should not be less than 60cm3. The ratio of surface area to volume should be in the range of 0.08mm-1~0.20mm-1. 5.1.2 The sample should be taken from a representative part and should not contain defects such as cracks. 5.1.3 The surface of the sample should be smooth, and the rough surface should be polished smooth. 5.2 True density and true porosity Take about 1000g of the clean sample and break it into particles less than 5mm; divide it into quarters, take a portion and grind it to pass 63μm Take 150g of the powder sample from the standard sieve as the sample.

6 Test procedure

6.1 Water absorption and bulk density 6.1.1 Place the sample in a blast drying oven at 65°C±5°C for 48h to constant weight, that is, weigh it after drying for 46h, 47h, and 48h. Measure the mass of the sample. When the mass remains constant, it indicates that it has reached a constant weight, otherwise the drying continues until the constant mass appears 3 times. Put into the desiccator Cool it to room temperature, then weigh its mass (m0), accurate to 0.01g. 6.1.2 Place the sample on the glass rod support in the water tank, and the interval between the samples should not be less than 15mm. Add deionized water or distilled water (20℃ ±2℃) to half the height of the sample, let it stand for 1h; then continue to add water to three-quarters of the height of the sample, then let it stand for 1h; continue to fill water, water The surface should exceed the height of the sample by 25mm ± 5mm. The sample is taken out at the same time after being soaked in water for 48h±2h, wrapped in a damp towel, wringed out Wipe off the moisture on the surface of the sample with a wet towel, and immediately weigh its mass (m1), accurate to 0.01g. 6.1.3 Immediately place the water-saturated sample in a metal mesh basket and immerse the mesh basket together with the sample in deionized water at 20℃±2℃ or distill In the water, carefully remove the air bubbles attached to the basket and the sample, and weigh the total mass of the sample and the basket in the water, accurate to 0.01g. Separate weighing network The mass of the basket in the same depth of water is accurate to 0.01g. The difference between these two measurements (m2) can be directly measured when the balance allows it, and the result Accurate to 0.01g. The weighing device is shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2. Note. When using an electronic balance for weighing, as shown in Figure 2, set the balance to zero when the basket is in the same depth of water to directly measure the mass (m2) of the sample in the water. 6.2 True density and true porosity 6.2.1 Put 150g of powdered sample into a weighing bottle, put it in a blast drying oven at 65℃±5℃, and dry for 48h to constant weight, that is, dry Weigh the mass of the sample at 46h, 47h, and 48h. When the mass remains constant, it indicates that it has reached a constant weight. Otherwise, continue to dry until it appears 3 times Constant quality. Take it out and put it in a desiccator to cool to room temperature. 6.2.2 Weigh three dry powder samples (m0'), each about 10g, accurate to 0.001g. Each powder sample was put into a clean pycnometer. 6.2.3 Pour distilled water or deionized water into the pycnometer, whose volume does not exceed half of the volume of the pycnometer. Put the pycnometer in a water bath to boil Boil for 10min~15min or put the pycnometer in the vacuum dryer for 30min. 6.2.4 After drying the pycnometer and allowing it to cool to room temperature, pour distilled water or deionized water into it again to 2mm below the mouth of the pycnometer. 3mm, mark the liquid surface. Weigh its mass (m1'), accurate to 0.001g. 6.2.5 Empty the pycnometer and rinse it, refill it with distilled or deionized water to the mark and weigh its mass (m2'), accurate to 0.001g. 7.5 Results Calculate the arithmetic mean of water absorption, volume density, true density, and true porosity of each group of samples as the test result. Bulk density, true density Take three significant figures; take two significant figures for true porosity and water absorption.
