This standard comprises a series of methods for the sampling and testing of aggregates. The methods described are applicable to aggregates used in concrete and in roadmaking, or for any other puropose.
The standard includes sampling methods and procedures, methods for determination of density, particle size analysis, tests for determination of misshapen particles, and tests for crushing and abrasion resistance. It also includes tests to determine the soundness of an aggregate and the proportions of deleterious materials present.
