To start our post today, in which we want to talk about the main characteristics of the marbles (This way it will be easier to understand how it can be given so many uses.), we will define this material, to then name and briefly describe some of the main characteristics. As usual, In Marbres's blog Barcelona.
Thus marble is a limestone formed, above all, By very compact-Christized calcium carbonate, After a very long geological process. The different impurities that are formed make, sometimes, marbles of great beauty are formed. These marbles, obviously, They upload their quote and increase their demand, whether in Barcelona or in any other city where culture is worth, to sculpt sculptures, monuments or any decorative work. With centuries ago, As already mentioned in some previous post, A lot of value has been given to marble, which has generated an industry from which, at the moment, Marbles Barcelona It is a reference.
Although around the world, depending a lot on the area, There are many marble quarries, Not all of them are suitable for extracting a material of sufficient quality to be, later, Apt to work and market it.
So, the marble, It is formed by a rock base characterized by being soft, fragile and easy to grate. So, well, Sometimes the error of using it for certain applications is made (for its beauty, above all) For which is not the most indicated material.
But if we want to go more in detail, be more precise or technical in the description, We will numerically value the following properties (nevertheless, as to marbles, Marbles
Barcelona It wants to make it clear that there is a wide variety of qualities and great variability between each other):
- The density is between 2.38 y 2.87 kg/dm³ (To make a comparison, The water is 1).
- The hardness of marble is between 3 y 4 (The copper, For example, It is 3).
- Compression resistance is in values between 600 y 1000 kg/cm².
- Traction resistance values are between 100 y 360 kg/cm².
Although there are many other qualities that could be valued, As we have commented, We do not do it because their values would vary much depending on the type of marble or the area from which it was extracted.
With this we finish this post today, For all those who like or feel curious about marbles, You are already from Barcelona or any other city. As usual, remind you that to receive more information about marbles or to ask for a budget about this material, You can go to Marbres Barcelona.
