intermediate terrazzo Explanation: The types of terrazzo depend on the size of the chip (aggregate). El terrazo de grano medio se fabrica con la mezcla de marmolina -polvo de mármol-, cemento blanco de alta resistencia y áridos de mármol de diferentes colores y un +++tamaño aproximado de 10 a 20 milímetros de diámetro+++. A esta composición se añade el pigmento adecuado para obtener el color deseado. http://www.bedyfa.com/index.php/grano-medio Según el tamaño de los trozos de mármol que se emplean en la construcción del terrazo, lo podemos dividir en: terrazo de microgramo, terrazo de grano medio, y terrazo de grano grueso. A la hora de su fabricar las baldosas de terrazo se pueden colorear con pigmentos lo que nos van a dar los diferentes colores de terrazo. http://www.pulidosrovira.com/producto-terrazo.html MARBLE CHIPS SIZES: Marble chips are graded by number according to size in accordance with standards adopted by producers as follows: Passes Screen Retained on Screen Number ...................... (in inches) .................. (in inches) 0 .................................. 1/8 .............................. 1/16 1 .................................. 1/4 .............................. 1/8 2 .................................. 3/8 .............................. 1/4 3 .................................. 1/2 .............................. 3/8 4 .................................. 5/8 .............................. 1/2 5 .................................. 3/4 .............................. 5/8 6 .................................. 7/8 .............................. 3/4 7 .................................. 1 ................................. 7/8 8 .................................. 1 1/8 ........................... 1 CUSTOMARY SIZES FOR TOPPINGS: 1. Standard: No. 1 and 2. 2. Intermediate: No. 1, 2, 3, and 4. 3. Venetian: No. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5; and/or 6, 7, and 8. 4. Resinous: (1/4 inch thickness) No. 1 and 0. 5. Resinous: (3/8 inch thickness) No. 1, 2, and 0. NOTE: Marble chip quarries normally produce 0, 1, and 2 as separate sizes, Larger sizes are frequently grouped; for example #3-4 mixed and #7-8 mixed, and #4-7 mixed. #00 chips (1/16 to 1/32 inch size) are available for use in industrial floors. http://www.naterrazzo.com/documents/Terrazzo_Specifications_... Given that 10 mm = 3/8 of an inch = chip size no. 2 and 20 mm = 3/4 inch, grano medio equates to intermediate terrazzo. |
