1、Designation:C629/C629M15Standard Specification forSlate Dimension Stone1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C629/C629M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses
2、indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers the material characteristics,physical requirements,and sampling appropriate to the selec-tion of slate for general building and struct
3、ural purposes.Referto Guides C1242 and C1528 for the appropriate selection anduse of slate dimension stone.1.2 Dimension slate shall include stone that is sawed,cut,split,or otherwise finished or shaped,and shall specificallyexclude molded,cast,or otherwise artificially aggregated unitscomposed of f
4、ragments,and also crushed and broken stone.1.3 It specifically excludes roofing slate(see SpecificationC406/C406M)and slate for industrial uses.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equiv
