Physical and Chemical Properties of Green Agate Marble Stone

1. Physical Properties

The physical properties of green agate marble mainly include:

• Shore Hardness
• Bulk Density
• Water Absorption
• Compressive Strength
• Bending Strength

(1) Shore Hardness

• Unit: HSD (Shore Hardness Degree)
• Definition: A measure of a material’s surface hardness, introduced by Albert F. Shore. It is determined using an elastic rebound method, where a striker pin is dropped onto the stone surface, and its rebound speed is measured.
• Formula: $$\text{Shore Hardness} = \frac{\text{Rebound Speed of Striker}}{\text{Initial Speed of Striker}} \times 1000$$
• Practical Application:
  • Shore hardness objectively measures the hardness of the stone surface.
  • Harder stones are more difficult to grind and process.
  • Granite hardness is typically ≥70HSD, while marble hardness is ≤70HSD, making granite more difficult to grind compared to marble.

(2) Bulk Density

• Unit: g/cm³
• Definition: The mass of the stone per unit volume.
• Example Calculation:
  • If the bulk density of green agate marble is 2.98 g/cm³, then a 1 cm³ cube of the stone weighs 2.98 grams.
• Practical Application:
  • Bulk density reflects the compactness of the stone.
  • It is closely related to water absorption rate, which affects resistance to staining and deterioration.
