Marble and Granite are used in high finish buildings for floors, Kitchen & vanity tops, interior & exterior wall finishes.

Building stones are product of nature and each sample varies from the other sample in color, uniformity of veins and other characteristics.

BSL is capable to test the performance of building stones (Dimension Stones) for a particular application in accordance with ASTM, IS, ANSI Standards.

Acceptable physical properties of building stones (Marble, Granite, Sand Stone, slate etc.) can be determined by performing following tests.

• 01. Water Absorption
• 02. Hardness
• 03. Porosity
• 04. Specific Gravity
• 05. Abrasion Resistance
• 06. Moisture Content
• 07. Compressive Strength
• 08. Tensile Strength
• 09. Ultrasonic Pulse velocity
• 10. Hardness (Schmidt)
• 11. Resistance to wear
