Physical Properties of Kenyte

Physical properties of rocks are used to identify the type of rocks and to discover more about them. There are various physical properties of Kenyte like Hardness, Grain Size, Fracture, Streak, Porosity, Luster, Strength etc which defines it. The physical properties of Kenyte rock are vital in determining its Kenyte Texture and Kenyte Uses.

Hardness and Strength of Kenyte

The physical properties of Kenyte depend on its formation. Physical properties of rocks play an important role in determining its applications in various fields. Rocks are rated on the on the Moh's Hardness Scale which rates the rocks on the scale from 1 to 10. Rocks with hardness 1-3 are soft rocks from 3-6 are medium hardness rocks and 6-10 are hard rocks. The hardness of Kenyte is 5.5-6 whereas its compressive strength is 150.00 N/mm2. Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered. The streak of Kenyte is white, greenish white or grey whereas its fracture is conchoidal to uneven. Luster of Kenyte is the interaction of light with the surface of Kenyte. Luster of Kenyte is greasy to dull. Kenyte cleavage is poor. The specific gravity of Kenyte is 2.6. Kenyte is translucent to opaque in nature whereas its toughness is not available. You can also know all the list of rocks in Opaque Rocks, Translucent Rocks and Transparent Rocks.
