Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 This Part 3 of the standard specifically covers the determination of water absorption and specific gravity of engineered stones. The standard outlines key aspects of the test procedure, including the principle of the test, requirements for sampling and test specimens (including dimensions and tolerances), specimen conditioning (drying to constant mass and cooling), necessary apparatus, the detailed test procedure (including measurement of specimens and application of load at a constant stress rate), and the evaluation and reporting of test results.
