15、g of a sampling complying with thelimitations set forth in Section 6, not greater than 20 % whensodium sulfate is used, or 15 % when magnesium sulfate isused.5.1.2 Aggregates failing to meet the requirements of 5.1.1shall be accepted, provided there is evidence that plasters ofcomparable properties
16、made from similar aggregates from thesame source has been exposed to weathering, similar to that tobe encountered, for a period of more than 5 years withoutappreciable disintegration.6.

19、ll fall between 2.05 and 3.05.If the fineness modulus varies by more than 0.25 from thevalue assumed in selecting proportions for the plaster, theaggregate shall be rejected unless adjustments are made inproportions to compensate for change in grading.NOTE 1The gradation of aggregate used in portlan
20、d cement-basedplaster affects the workability, shrinkage characteristic porosity, anddurability of the plaster.6.1.3 Aggregate failing to meet only the gradation limits ofthis specification shall be permitted to be used, provided thesupplier furnishes satisfactory documentation to the specifierthat
