Numerical scales of factor contribution.
| Fracture ability grade | Rock mass density (g·cm−3) | Tensile strength (MPa) | Wave impedance of rock (×106 kg·m−2·s−1) | Intactness index of rock mass | Fracturing description |
| Grade I | <2.5 | <8.0 | <5.0 | <0.05 | Extremely easy to fracture | Grade II | 2.5~2.8 | 8.0~13.0 | 5.0~8.0 | 0.05~0.35 | Easy to fracture | Grade III | 2.8~3.1 | 13.0~18.0 | 8.0~12.0 | 0.35~0.55 | Medium | Grade IV | 3.1~3.4 | 18.0~23.0 | 12.0~15.0 | 0.55~0.75 | Hard to fracture | Grade V | >3.4 | >23.0 | >15.0 | >0.75 | Extremely hard to fracture |
