7、 density materials content of aggregates 1 Scope and field of application This standard specifies a method for determining the percentage, by mass, of low density materials (materials of density less than 2 000 kg/m3, e.g. coal and lignite) contained in aggregates. 2 Normative references The followi
8、ng standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard. All standards are subject to revision and, since any reference to a standard is deemed to be a reference to the latest edition of that standard, parties to agreements based on this standard
9、 are encouraged to take steps to ensure the use of the most recent editions of the standards indicated below.

10、 testing Part 1: Test sieves of metal wire cloth. Amdt 1 SANS 3310-2/ISO 3310-2, Test sieves Technical requirements and testing Part 2: Test sieves of perforated metal plate. Amdt 1 SANS 197, Preparation of test samples of aggregates. 3 Reagents 3.1 Heavy liquid A liquid that has a relative density
11、(at 24 /24 C) of 2,00 0,01. This liquid may be a solution of zinc chloride in water (the nominal relative density of anhydrous zinc chloride is approximately 2,90), or, alternatively, an appropriate mixture of the compounds listed in table 1. Table 1 Compounds for heavy liquid 1 2 Compound Nominal r
12、elative density Bromoform 2,88 Monobromo-benzene 1,49 SANS 5837:2008 Edition 2.2 2 WARNING The compounds listed in table 1 are highly toxic, both by absorption through the skin and when inhaled. They should only be used in the open air or in a fume cupboard (preferably of the down-draught type) and
13、care should be taken to avoid inhalation and contact with the skin. There is no particular hazard from the zinc chloride solution, but in this case care should also be taken to avoid contact with the eyes and skin. 4 Apparatus Test sieves, of aperture sizes 6,7 mm and 0,150 m, and that comply with t
14、he requirements of SANS 3310-1 or SANS 3310-2. Amdt 1 5 Preparation of test specimens 5.1 Fine aggregate Obtain a test specimen of fine aggregate from the test sample (see SANS 197) of mass approximately 200 g. 5.2 Coarse aggregate Crush a test sample of coarse aggregate (see SANS 197) until it all
15、passes a sieve of aperture size 6,7 mm, and obtain a test specimen of mass approximately 200 g by means of a sample splitter, or by coning and quartering. 6 Procedure 6.1 Dry the test specimen to constant mass at 100 C to 110 C, cool it in a desiccator, and determine its mass to the nearest 0,01 g.
16、6.2 Slowly pour the specimen into approximately 250 mL of the heavy liquid, and decant the supernatant liquid into a beaker through a dry, tared sieve of aperture size 150 m. Ensure that only the floating particles are poured off with the liquid, and that none of the sunken aggregate is decanted ont
17、o the sieve. 6.3 Return the liquid to the beaker containing the aggregate, mix the contents of the beaker by swirling, allow the heavy particles to settle, and decant as in 6.2. 6.4 Repeat this procedure until the supernatant liquid is free from floating particles. 6.5 Wash the decanted particles re
18、tained on the sieve (with water, if a zinc chloride solution was used, and with monobromo-benzene, if an organic heavy liquid was used), dry and cool as in 6.1, and determine their mass to the nearest 0,01 g. SANS 5837:2008 Edition 2.2 3 7 Expression and reporting of results 7.1 Calculate the percentage of materials of low density as follows: 1o 100mmwhere m1is the mass of the decanted particles, in grams; and mois the original mass of the dry specimen, in grams. 7.2 Report the percentage of material of low density to the nearest 0,1 %.
