2、ignation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use
3、by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers the determination of bulkdensity (“unit weight”) of aggregate in a compacted or loosecondition, and calculated voids between particles in fine,coarse, or mixed aggregates based on the same determination.This test method is
4、 applicable to aggregates not exceeding 125mm 5 in. in nominal maximum size.NOTE 1Unit weight is the traditional terminology used to describe theproperty determined by this test method, which is weight per unit volume(more correctly, mass per unit volume or density).1.2 The values stated in either S
5、I units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard, as appropriate for aspecification with which this test method is used.An exceptionis with regard to sieve sizes and nominal size of aggregate, inwhich the SI values are the standard as stated in SpecificationE11. Within the text,
6、inch-pound units are shown in brackets.The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents;therefore each system must be used independently of the other,without combining values in any way.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its
7、use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsDefinitions are in accordance with Termi-nology C 125 unless otherwise indicated.3.1.1 bulk density, nof aggregate, the mass of a unitvolume of bulk aggregate material, in which the volumeincludes the
11、volume of the individual particles and the volumeof the voids between the particles. Expressed in kg/m3lb/ft3.3.1.2 unit weight, nweight (mass) per unit volume. (Dep-recated term usedpreferred term bulk density.)3.1.2.1 DiscussionWeight is equal to the mass of the bodymultiplied by the acceleration
12、due to gravity. Weight may beexpressed in absolute units (newtons, poundals) or in gravita-tional units (kgf, lbf), for example: on the surface of the earth,a body with a mass of 1 kg has a weight of 1 kgf (approxi-mately 9.81 N), or a body with a mass of 1 lb has a weight of1 lbf (approximately 4.4
13、5 N or 32.2 poundals). Since weight isequal to mass times the acceleration due to gravity, the weightof a body will vary with the location where the weight isdetermined, while the mass of the body remains constant. Onthe surface of the earth, the force of gravity imparts to a bodythat is free to fal

18、thin particles, either perme-able or impermeable, are not included in voids as determinedby this test method.4. Significance and Use4.1 This test method is often used to determine bulk densityvalues that are necessary for use for many methods of selectingproportions for concrete mixtures.4.2 The bul
19、k density also may be used for determiningmass/volume relationships for conversions in purchase agree-ments. However, the relationship between degree of compac-tion of aggregates in a hauling unit or stockpile and thatachieved in this test method is unknown. Further, aggregates inhauling units and s
20、tockpiles usually contain absorbed andsurface moisture (the latter affecting bulking), while this testmethod determines the bulk density on a dry basis.4.3 Aprocedure is included for computing the percentage ofvoids between the aggregate particles based on the bulk densitydetermined by this test met

Alternatively,calculate the factor, F, for the measure.NOTE 3For the calculation of bulk density, the volume of the measurein SI units should be expressed in cubic
38、 metres, or the factor as 1/m3.However, for convenience the size of the measure may be expressed inlitres.9. Selection of Procedure9.1 The shoveling procedure for loose bulk density shall beused only when specifically stipulated. Otherwise, the compactbulk density shall be determined by the rodding
39、procedure foraggregates having a nominal maximum size of 37.5 mm112 in. or less, or by the jigging procedure for aggregateshaving a nominal maximum size greater than 37.5 mm 112 in.and not exceeding 125 mm 5 in.10. Rodding Procedure10.1 Fill the measure one-third full and level the surfacewith the f
40、ingers. Rod the layer of aggregate with 25 strokes ofthe tamping rod evenly distributed over the surface. Fill themeasure two-thirds full and again level and rod as above.Finally, fill the measure to overflowing and rod again in themanner previously mentioned. Level the surface of the aggre-gate wit
41、h the fingers or a straightedge in such a way that anyslight projections of the larger pieces of the coarse aggregateapproximately balance the larger voids in the surface below thetop of the measure.10.2 In rodding the first layer, do not allow the rod to strikethe bottom of the measure forcibly. In
42、 rodding the second andthird layers, use vigorous effort, but not more force than tocause the tamping rod to penetrate to the previous layer ofaggregate.NOTE 4In rodding the larger sizes of coarse aggregate, it may not bepossible to penetrate the layer being consolidated, especially with angularaggr
43、egates. The intent of the procedure will be accomplished if vigorouseffort is used.10.3 Determine the mass of the measure plus its contents,and the mass of the measure alone, and record the values to thenearest 0.05 kg 0.1 lb.11. Jigging Procedure11.1 Fill the measure in three approximately equal la
44、yers asdescribed in 10.1, compacting each layer by placing themeasure on a firm base, such as a cement-concrete floor,raising the opposite sides alternately about 50 mm 2 in., andallowing the measure to drop in such a manner as to hit with asharp, slapping blow. The aggregate particles, by this proc
45、e-dure, will arrange themselves in a densely compacted condi-tion. Compact each layer by dropping the measure 50 times inthe manner described, 25 times on each side. Level the surfaceof the aggregate with the fingers or a straightedge in such a waythat any slight projections of the larger pieces of
46、the coarseaggregate approximately balance the larger voids in the surfacebelow the top of the measure.11.2 Determine the mass of the measure plus its contents,and the mass of the measure alone, and record the values to thenearest 0.05 kg 0.1 lb.12. Shoveling Procedure12.1 Fill the measure to overflo
47、wing by means of a shovelor scoop, discharging the aggregate from a height not to exceed50 mm 2 in. above the top of the measure. Exercise care toprevent, so far as possible, segregation of the particle sizes ofwhich the sample is composed. Level the surface of theaggregate with the fingers or a str
48、aightedge in such a way thatany slight projections of the larger pieces of the coarseaggregate approximately balance the larger voids in the surfacebelow the top of the measure.12.2 Determine the mass of the measure plus its contents,and the mass of the measure alone, and record the values to thenea
49、rest 0.05 kg 0.1 lb.13.
