ASTM C241/C241M Test for Abrasion Resistance of Stone Subjected to Foot Traffic
The standard method ASTM C241/C241M is an abrasion resistance test for stone subjected to foot traffic using a specified apparatus under certain pretreatment and test conditions. The abrasion resistance is expressed in inch-pound units.
Scope:
The standard method ASTM C241/C241M describes the testing of stones subjected to foot traffic using specified specimen pretreatment and apparatus test condition. The method is intended to test the abrasion resistance of various buildings and/or the comparison of the same type of stones.
Test Procedure:
In ASTM C241/C241M, the test specimens are conditioned by drying before the start of the test at 60 ± 2 ºC. Specimens with ±0.01 g weight are placed on the abrasion testing apparatus; the test is conducted by grinding the specimen in a certain test condition. The weight of the specimen after the test is recorded after the post-treatment of the specimens. Furthermore, the bulk specific gravity of the specimen can be determined as described in Test Methods C97.

Specimen Size:
Specimens with dimensions of 2 inches square and 1 inch thickness are needed for ASTM C241/C241M testing.
Result:
The ASTM C241/C241M abrasion resistance is reported in inch-pound units.
Conclusion:
The standard method of ASTM C241/C241M describes the abrasion resistance of stones under certain test conditions.
