Characteristics:
Compressive Strength: Dry perp 28 468 psi
Modulus of Rupture: Perp to bed 1,968 psi
Absorption: 5.23%
Bulk Specific Gravity: 2.24
Density: 144 lbs/cubic ft.
Note: Physical properties are provided for general comparisons. For
specific applications and design engineering please contact your Lang
Sales Representative for current ASTM testing data.
Applications:
Ohio Sandstone is often used for building detailing such as
sills, lintels, quoins and coping. Columns and similar structural
