The document reports the results of several standard tests measuring the properties of different types of dimensional stone, including marble, katmeya, feleto, and imperial beige. For each stone, measurements are given for absorption, bulk specific gravity, modulus of rupture, compressive strength, abrasion resistance, and flexural strength based on ASTM testing standards C97, C99, C170, C241, and C880. The tests were conducted on samples in dry conditions and the results are reported as averages from multiple tests.
