The aggregate shall not have more than 50 percent retained between any two consecutive sieves of those listed in Section 4.1,
9、and no more than 25 percent between the 300-m (No. 50) and 150-m (No. 100) sieve. 4.4. If the fineness modulus varies by more than 0.20 from the value assumed in selecting proportions for the mortar, the aggregate shall be rejected unless suitable adjustments are made in proportions to compensate fo
10、r the change in grading. Note 1For heavy construction employing joints thicker than 12.5 mm (1/2in.), a coarser aggregate may be desirable. For such work, a fine aggregate conforming to M 6 is satisfactory. 4.5. When an aggregate fails the gradation limits specified in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, it may b
11、e used provided the mortar can be prepared to comply with the aggregate ratio, water retention, air content, and compressive strength requirements of the property specifications of ASTM C270. 5. COMPOSITION 5.1. Deleterious SubstancesThe amount of deleterious substances in aggregate for masonry mort
12、ar, each determined on independent samples complying with the grading requirements of Section 4, shall not exceed the following: Item Max Permissible Mass, % Clay lumps and friable particles 1.0 Lightweight particles, floating on 0.5aliquid having a specific gravity of 2.0 aThis requirement does not
13、 apply to blast-furnace slag aggregate. 5.2. Organic Impurities: 5.2.1. The aggregate shall be free of injurious amounts of organic impurities. Except as herein provided, aggregates subjected to the test for organic impurities and producing a color darker than the standard shall be rejected. 5.2.2.
14、Aggregate failing in the test may be used provided that the discoloration is due principally to the presence of small quantities of coal, lignite, or similar discrete particles. 5.2.3. Aggregate failing in the test may be used provided that, when tested for the effect of organic impurities on streng

16、gregate subjected to five cycles of the soundness test shall show a loss, weighted in accordance with the grading of a sample complying with the limitations set forth in Section 4, not greater than 10 percent when sodium sulfate is used or 15 percent when magnesium sulfate is used. 6.2. Aggregate fa

18、. METHODS OF SAMPLING AND TESTING 7.1. Sample and test the aggregate in accordance with the following procedures: 7.1.1. SamplingT 2; 7.1.2. Sieve Analysis and Fineness ModulusT 27; 7.1.3.

WorkabilityExcessive quantities of flat and elongated particles have historically caused problems with workability
20、. When measured on any aggregate of a known grading, void content provides an indication of that aggregates angularity, sphericity, and surface texture compared with other fine aggregates tested in the same grading. When void content is measured on an as-received fine aggregate grading, it can be an
21、 indicator of the effect of the fine aggregate on the workability of a mixture in which it may be used. 7.1.11. DensityDetermine the bulk specific gravity (oven dry basis) of the fine aggregate in accordance with T 84. The specific gravity equals the density expressed in units of g/cm3. The density
22、of the fine aggregate in g/cm3is used in the calculation of the air content of the mortars, as required by ASTM C270. 8. KEYWORDS 8.1. Aggregate requirements; fine aggregate; masonry mortar sand. 1 This specification is technically identical to ASTM C144-11. 2016 by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
