Notes
-
Water absorption is very low in Turkish varieties (≈0.2%), moderate in Iranian (≈1.7%), and low-to-moderate in Italian (~0.9%)
-
Density ranges between 2,450–2,750 kg/m³, with lighter tones typically less dense .
-
Compressive strength varies widely: Turkish variant has exceptionally high lab-reported values (~229 MPa), though typical range is 30–90 MPa in Iran and Italy .
-
Flexural strength ~13.8 MPa for Italian White Travertine
-
Abrasion resistance indicates good durability; Turkey: ~3.3 units, Italy: ~3.8 mm, generic Turkey travertine ~26–27 mm .
-
Porosity typically around 8% – offering lightweight structure with natural insulation benefits .
