This Standard sets out a method for an approximate determination of the presence of organic materials, other than sugar, present in fine aggregate.

Sets out method for the determination of particle size distribution in coarse and fine aggregates by sieving. The amount passing a 75 μm sieve may be determined using this method when samples are washed over a 75 μm sieve. If the percentage of material passing a 75 μm sieve is specified, the procedures detailed in Clause 6.6 of this method or in AS 1141.12 apply. KEYWORDS: Aggregates; Particle; Size; Sieving.

AS 1141.30.1 sets out the method for determining a quality classification of coarse aggregate by visual comparison with pre-prepared reference specimens.

This Standard sets out the method for the determination of the degradation factor of coarse aggregates. The test categorizes the fines produced by self-abrasion in the presence of water.

This Standard sets out a method for determining the flakiness index of an aggregate. The Method applies to aggregates having a nominal size not greater than 63.0 mm and having at least 80% by mass retained on a 4.75 mm sieve. The Method makes reference to a particle size distribution procedure which is required for determination of flakiness index.

This Standard sets out the method for determining indirectly the unconfined cohesion of compacted pavement materials. The method is applicable to that fraction of the material passing a 19.0 mm test sieve.

This Standard sets out the method for testing aggregates to determine the loss of mass due to disintegration when exposed to sodium sulfate solutions over repeated cycles of wetting and drying

This Standard sets out the method for determining the friction value of a surface using the pendulum friction tester on test specimens prepared from naturally occurring or artificially produced materials which are intended for use as roadway pavement surfacing material.

Specifies method for determining methylene blue adsorption value (MBV) for natural sands, manufactured sands, crusher dusts and mineral fillers used in asphaltApplies to aggregate of less than 5 mm nominal size and may be used for both natural and manufactured sands. Tests the passing 75 μm fraction of a laboratory dried, unwashed fine aggregate sample. Test may be applied to fillers from baghouse fines or from ground limestone products or to mixtures of these two materials

This Standard sets out the method for determining by visual examination the amount of foreign material in coarse aggregate produced from recycled concrete aggregate.
