1. Scope

1.1 This standard (Part III) covers the following tests for aggregates for concrete:

a) Determination of specific gravity and water absorption,

b) Determination of bulk density and voids,

c) Determination of necessary adjustment for bulking of fine aggregate (field method ), and

d) Determination of surface moisture in fine aggregate ( field method ).
