High Temperature Granite

If you use granite counters for outside kitchens that are exposed to heat in the summer and extreme cold during the winters there is a possibility of damage to the granite.
High temperature granite. The main results can be summarized as. Download high res image 142kb. Granite ˈ ɡ r æ n ɪ t is a common type of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture. Granites can be predominantly white pink or gray in color depending on their mineralogy the word granite comes from the latin granum a grain in reference to the coarse grained structure of such a completely crystalline rock.

Strictly speaking granite is an. Extreme temperature changes can cause damage to granite under direct exposure.
Due to the cooling shock the total temperature was significantly lower than the natural cooling until 120 min later. Heating at high temperature will make the tensile strength of granite change due to the loss of water and minerals and the effect of thermal stress that the most conspicuous effect is the expansion of quartz it is found that 300 c is the critical temperature for jalore granite above which the physicomechanical behavior reduces sharply. Granite is one of the most heat tolerant counter top materials mainly because its natural formation depends on extraordinarily high temperatures combined with very high pressure.
