17 Development of natural stone educational and research environment in East Finland Determination of water absorption coefficient by capillarity, EN 1925:1999 Test performed following the European standard SFS- EN 1925:1999 Description of the test: specimen water The specimens have been dried at constant mass, measured the dimension of one base, weighed and immerse in (3±1)mm of water the base measured. Each specimen has been taken out of water, damped and weighted at determined time intervals.
