Expert Interpretation of Simple Travertine Slab Testing Methods

1. Expert Interpretation of Common Testing Methods

1.1. Acetic Acid Test

💡 Explanation:

• This test checks the reaction of travertine slabs with acetic acid to determine their calcium carbonate content.
• Issue: Acetic acid is weak, requiring longer reaction times, making it difficult for consumers to observe immediate results.

🔬 Expert Opinion (Hu Yuling):

• While valid in principle, a dilute hydrochloric acid test produces more noticeable results in a shorter time.

1.2. Sound Test (Hitting the Slabs)

💡 Explanation:

• Some claim that tapping travertine and listening to the sound determines quality:
  • Crisp sound → Good quality (Fine texture, no cracks).
  • Dull sound → Poor quality (Cracks, loose texture).

🔬 Expert Opinion (Hu Yunlin - National Building Materials Quality Inspection Center):

• This test only indicates hardness and strength, not overall quality.
• Stone sound varies based on variety, size, and density, making it unreliable for quality assessment.
• Higher strength travertine slabs are better suited for flooring applications.

2. Expert Guidance: Reliable Travertine Slab Identification Methods

✅ Method 1: Cleaning Test
1️⃣ Use a damp cloth dipped in detergent or 84 disinfectant to wipe the surface.
2️⃣ If the stone fades, it indicates artificial dyeing (fake travertine).

✅ Method 2: Crack Observation
1️⃣ Check the back and side of the slab for cracks.
2️⃣ Normal cracks are usually filled with glue by manufacturers.
3️⃣ Some manufacturers prioritize the front appearance but neglect the back, resulting in weaker slabs that can break easily during use.
