Sizes of Marbles - There are numerous sizes of Marbles which can be used for various purpose. Sizes for blocks, slabs and tiles are described in table below:

The tolerance for blocks on thickness, length and width are usually +/-2%.

Tolerance for slabs for length and width are 2% and for thickness it becomes 3%, whereas that for tiles, for linear dimensions it is 3% and for thickness 1% of tolerance is permissible.

Tests for Marbles - In order to ensure the perfect quality of the marbles, the following tests are conducted in the laboratory:

1. Moisture absorption test according to IS 1124

2. Hardness test is conducted according to Mho’s scale.

3. Specific gravity test is conducted according to IS 1122.
