Generally speaking, the bulk density of black sand is between 2.63g/cm³ to 2.75g/cm³, the water absorption is between 0.15%-0.46%, the compressive strength is between 100-300Mpa, and a small amount of fine-grained black sand can reach above 300Mpa, the bending strength is between 10-30Mpa.
These physical performance parameters are higher than the national standard. It shows that the black sand has the features of high hardness, high processing stability, strong pressure-bearing capacity, good frost resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. It can be competent for dry hanging on the external walls of tall buildings, roadside stones, large square laying, and fountains. Wait for the needs of outdoor scenes.
