Compressive Strength Testing of Dimension Stone may be performed according to the procedure detailed in ASTM C170. This test method covers the sampling, preparation of specimens, and determination of the compressive strength of dimension stone. This test method is useful in indicating the differences in compressive strength between the various dimension stones. This test method also provides one element in comparing stones of the same type.
