The specific gravity of granite ranges from 2.593 to 2.731, with an aiqrage of 2.663—that is. it is 2.663 times as heavy as an equal volume !of water. A cubic foot of such ; granite will weigh 166.4 pounds. ! The strength of granite is very i great. It will ordinarily witli j stand a pressure ot 18.000 to 84.000 j pounds to the square inch. Certain Wisconsin granites have withstood j crushing up to a pressure of 43.074 pounds to the square inch. Granite is usually considered an impervious stone, yet it will absorb considerable moisture and a cubic yard of granite will usually contain about3.s gallons of water. Many granites contain 4 or 5 per cent of potash, which is. however, in in soluble form.
