Granite, as a common building material, is widely used in various construction and decoration projects due to its high hardness, wear resistance, and high compressive strength. However, during the processing of granite, there may be some stone loss due to cutting, polishing, and grinding operations. Reasonable calculation and control of these losses are of great significance for improving material utilization, reducing costs, and enhancing engineering economic benefits.     1. Types of losses during granite processing   In the processing of granite, losses are mainly divided into the following categories:   Cutting loss: When cutting granite stone raw materials into the required size, a certain amount of waste will be generated due to the accuracy limitations of the cutting equipment, improper operation, or the irregular shape of the raw granite stone materials themselves.   Polishing Loss: When polishing a rough granite stone slab into a polished finish, there will also be losses. The polishing loss rate is usually low, but as the thickness of the rough granite stone slab increases, the loss rate will decrease. During the polishing process, a layer of granite stone surface will be removed, resulting in wear and tear. The size of polishing loss is related to the accuracy of polishing equipment, polishing process, and the hardness of the granite stone itself.   Shape trimming loss: For irregular shaped granite stone materials such as circular arc slabs, oblique cut to size tiles, etc., shape trimming is required during the processing, which also generates certain losses.   2. Calculation method for granite stone loss rate   The granite stone loss rate is usually calculated using the following formula:   Loss rate (%) = (stone waste / total stone quantity) * 100%   Among them, the amount of granite stone waste refers to the amount of waste generated during the processing due to cutting, polishing, and other operations, while the total amount of granite stone refers to the total weight or volume of the original granite stone used.     3. Analysis of loss rate in various stages of granite processing   3.1. Processing granite stone raw materials into rough granite stone slab   Loss rate range: usually between 30% and 45%.   Influencing factors: shape, size, hardness of granite stone raw materials, and precision of cutting equipment. The more regular the shape and larger the size of the granite stone raw materials, the lower the loss rate; The higher the precision of the cutting equipment, the lower the loss rate.   Example analysis: Taking a granite block with a volume of 1 cubic meter as an example, if it is processed into a granite stone rough slab with a thickness of 2.0 centimeters, the loss rate is about 38.15%; If processed into a granite stone rough slab with a thickness of 3.2 centimeters, the loss rate decreases to 32.14%.   3.2.

Granite, as a common building material, is widely welcomed for its hardness, wear resistance, and beautiful appearance. When carrying out engineering construction or decoration, many people may encounter the question of "how many tons is one cubic meter of granite equal to?". Today, I am here to answer this question for everyone.   Firstly, we need to understand the density of granite. Generally speaking, the density of granite ranges from 2.63 to 2.75 tons per cubic meter, which means that each cubic meter of granite weighs approximately 2630 to 2750 kilograms. Due to slight differences in the composition and structure of granite in different regions, the specific weight can be adjusted according to the actual situation.   So, how many tons is 1 cubic meter of granite equivalent to? Simply put, 1 cubic meter of granite is approximately equivalent to 2.63 to 2.75 tons, or 2.63 to 2.75 standard kilograms. This data is very important for engineering budgeting and material procurement, especially during large-scale construction. Mastering weight can help us accurately calculate transportation costs and equipment required for construction.   In addition, the density of granite with different specifications and processing methods may also vary. For example, granite that has been cut and polished may become slightly lighter due to the removal of some excess parts. Therefore, in practical applications, it is recommended to follow the specific product manual or consult with suppliers to obtain more accurate data.   In short, understanding the weight of granite can not only help us better select materials, but also improve the safety and economy of engineering projects. When choosing granite, in addition to focusing on price and appearance, remember to also consider its weight and corresponding transportation and construction requirements.   I hope this article can provide some practical information for friends who are currently renovating or constructing.

With the development of the economy and the advancement of science and technology, people's technology for processing natural granite is becoming increasingly advanced. In urban construction, natural stone materials such as granite car stop stone pillars, granite car stop stone drums, and granite car stop stone balls are often used in parking lots, parks, squares, and scenic roads. Their purpose is to stop vehicles from entering prohibited areas, avoid reducing the threat to pedestrian safety from vehicles, and also regulate road traffic. These granite car stop stone balls not only block the movement of vehicles, but also serve a decorative purpose. These granite car stop stone balls come in various shapes and are particularly beautiful.   1. Granite car stop stone ball     As the name suggests, a granite car stop stone ball is a round granite stone ball used for blocking cars. It has a wide range of applications and can be used at intersections where vehicles are prohibited from entering. The main materials for car stop stone balls are marble, granite and limestone. However, in general, those who want marble car stop stone balls also need granite car stop stone balls.   The style of granite car stop stone balls used to be mainly spherical, but now pure spherical granite car stop stone balls are rarely used. The current style of granite car stop stone balls is mainly granite stone balls with bases. This type of granite car stop stone ball with a base does not require installation. Simply place it with a forklift and adjust the distance between the granite stone balls. Therefore, the granite car stop stone ball with a base is more flexible and popular among clients.   The size of the granite car stop stone ball usually includes 30cm, 40cm, 50cm, and 60cm; Simply put, it means a 30cm round ball, a 40cm round ball, and so on.   2. Granite car stop stone pillar     In some streets of Pompeii during the ancient Roman period, chariots, horses, and pedestrians crossed each other, often causing traffic congestion and frequent accidents in the city. To this end, people separated the sidewalk from the carriage way, raised the sidewalk, and built protruding stones - jumping stones - near the intersection of the road as signs to indicate pedestrians crossing the street. Pedestrians can step on these jumping stones and slowly cross the road. When the carriage is running, the jumping stone is just between the two wheels of the carriage. Later, many cities used this method.     Granite car stop stone include: car stop stone, car front stone, car collision stone, car stop stone, car stop pillar, granite car stop stone, granite parking stone, granite car front stone, granite car collision stone, granite car stop stone ball, granite car stop pillar, sidewalk car stop stone.   In order to beautify the environment, decorate the city, and ensure that the parking of vehicles does not affect pedestrian pathways or ...

Which craftsmanship should be chosen for luxury stone dining tabletops?   Polishing vs. Glazing Process   In high-end home decoration, luxury stone dining tabletops have become the first choice for many families due to their unique pattern, natural color, and luxurious texture.   However, when choosing a luxury stone dining tabletop, clients often face a choice: should you choose to preserve the natural luster of the stone itself (polishing), or use glazing technology to enhance its protection and aesthetics? This article will explore this topic from multiple perspectives to help clients make more informed choices.     Polishing Process   The polishing process involves using a machine to polish and furbish multiple times, and finally achieving a mirror finish without adding any additional glaze coating. The advantage is that it preserves the color and texture of the stone itself more effectively; The disadvantage is that it requires higher properties of the stone itself, not every type of stone can be polished, and the processing steps are relatively long; Moreover, it is prone to oil and color leakage, and requires high protection during use.   - Restore the natural color and texture of the stone! - Not easily prone to oil and dirt leakage! The maintenance cost is not high!   Advantages of Polishing Process   1. Natural Beauty: The polishing process emphasizes the preservation of the natural luster and texture of luxury stones, allowing the stone dining tabletops to present the most primitive and pure beauty. This beauty originates from the exquisite craftsmanship of nature, where each luxury stone is unique and its luster and texture are witnesses of time.   2. Texture experience: The untreated luxury stone dining tabletop has a surface texture that is closer to natural stone, with a warm touch that gives people a feeling of closeness to nature. This texture experience is difficult to fully replicate with the glazing process.   3. Environmental protection and health: The polishing process avoids the use of chemical reagents for surface treatment, reduces the release of harmful substances, and is more environmentally friendly and healthy. For consumers who pursue green homes, this is an undeniable advantage.     Glazing Process   Glazed Coating   The glazing process, also known as oil coating, forms a protective film on the surface of marble to prevent stains, moisture infiltration, and cracks. It can also prevent the color and texture of the marble surface from fading, but it is prone to scratching. It is brighter and more luxurious than the polishing process, which is in line with the current popular light luxury style in China; Not easily prone to oil and color leakage, more convenient to use, and lower maintenance costs in the later stage.   - High glossiness! Anti leakage and anti fouling! Low maintenance cost! - Sharp objects are not easy to scratch! Less prone...

1. Introduction to Stone Thickness Evolution   In the 1990s, the thickness of stone in the stone processing industry was usually 20mm or greater. However, by the beginning of this century, the thickness of stone began to change, decreasing from 20mm to 18mm, 16mm, and even 10mm. If it is necessary to reduce the weight of buildings, using stone with a thickness of less than 20mm, or even 10mm, as long as the installation strength of the stone meets the usage requirements, it is understandable. Just like ceramic tiles, should their thickness not be more than 10mm? However, for natural stone, due to its natural nature, it is influenced by the natural environment and geological processes during its formation. Different stones have significant differences in their physical and chemical composition and properties. Some stones have a thickness of 20mm or even thinner, and their strength can still meet the requirements of building decoration. However, some stones may not necessarily meet the strength requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish and differentiate between them. Thin and low strength stones cannot be used for buildings with strength requirements.     2. Differentiation of Stone Types and Thickness Requirements   In practice, there are few nations, industry, and local standards that regulate the appropriate thickness of stone used in buildings. Only appropriate specifications and requirements have been made for the thickness of curtain walls. However, are these thickness requirements scientific and reasonable? The requirements for stone thickness in building decoration should be analyzed in detail, treated differently, and not generalized. It depends on factors such as the variety of stone, the environment in which it is used, the function and purpose of the stone, and the installation method of the stone. Some stones are a few millimeters or even 10mm thick, and the problem is not too big. For example, when installing wall stones with a height of less than 3m and using adhesive installation, thin stones or even 10mm thick stones can be used when the specifications are not large. The thickness of the stone used for non load bearing cabinets that only serve decorative purposes can be thinner. However, when we abuse the thickness of stone without distinguishing specific situations, stone varieties, usage environments, and safety requirements, we are wrong!     3. Practical Issues and Standards in Stone Thickness   Take some kind of construction projects as an example, such as a project that requires a stone thickness of 25mm or 20mm. Due to the difficulty of supplying 25mm thick stone in some countries' markets, some stone companies have negotiated with the general contractor and agreed that the thickness of the stone can be 23mm or 18mm (verbal agreement), without signing a written stone change agreement or contract. The project took several months from start to finish, during which neither the fi...
