GB/T 9966.5-2020
Test methods for natural stone—Part 5:Determination of hardness

GB/T 9966.5-2020 specifies the test method for the hardness (Shore hardness) of natural stone. It uses a Shore hardness tester, in which a diamond indenter of specified shape is allowed to fall freely from a fixed height onto the stone surface. The hardness value is determined by measuring its rebound height, which indirectly reflects the wear resistance and processing performance of the stone.
