Physical Properties of Talc carbonate
Physical properties of rocks are used to identify the type of rocks and to discover more about them. There are various physical properties of Talc carbonate like Hardness, Grain Size, Fracture, Streak, Porosity, Luster, Strength etc which defines it. The physical properties of Talc carbonate rock are vital in determining its Talc carbonate Texture and Talc carbonate Uses.
Hardness and Strength of Talc carbonate
The physical properties of Talc carbonate 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 Talc carbonate is 1-2 whereas its compressive strength is 250.00 N/mm2. Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered. The streak of Talc carbonate is white whereas its fracture is flat. Luster of Talc carbonate is the interaction of light with the surface of Talc carbonate. Luster of Talc carbonate is pearly. Talc carbonate cleavage is perfect. The specific gravity of Talc carbonate is 2.86. Talc carbonate is translucent in nature whereas its toughness is 1.
