22、Scope This European Standard describes the reference method, used for type testing and in case of dispute, for determination of the flakiness index of aggregates. For other purposes, in particular production control, other methods may be used, provided that an appropriate working relationship with t
23、he reference method has been established. This European Standard applies to natural, manufactured or recycled aggregates. The test procedure specified in this part of this European Standard is not applicable to particle sizes less than 4 mm or greater than 100 mm. 2 Normative references The followin

27、hings performed at least 1 h apart and not differing by more than 0,1 % Note 1 to entry: In many cases, constant mass can be achieved after a test portion has been dried for a pre-determined period in a specified oven (see 5.4) at (110 5) C. Test laboratories can determine the time required to achie
28、ve constant mass for specific types and sizes of sample dependent upon the drying capacity of the oven used. 3.2 laboratory sample sample intended for laboratory testing 3.3 particle size fraction(di/Di) fraction of an aggregate passing the larger (Di) of two sieves and retained on the smaller (di)
29、Note 1 to entry: The lower limit for dimay be zero. 3.4 test portion sample used as a whole in a single test BS EN 933-3:2012 EN 933-3:2012 (E) 6 4 Principle The test consists of two sieving operations. First, using test sieves, the sample is separated into various particle size fractions di/Di, as
30、given in Table 1. Each of the particle size fractions di/Diis then sieved using bar sieves which have parallel slots of width Di/2. The overall flakiness index is calculated as the total mass of particles passing the bar sieves expressed as a percentage of the total dry mass of particles tested. If
31、required, the flakiness index of each particle size fraction di/Diis calculated as the mass of particles passing the corresponding bar sieve, expressed as a percentage by mass of that particle size fraction. 5 Apparatus All apparatus shall conform to the general requirements of EN 932-5. 5.1 Test si
32、eves, with square apertures, conforming to EN 933-2 with the following aperture sizes: 100 mm; 80 mm; 63 mm; 50 mm; 40 mm; 31,5 mm; 25 mm; 20 mm; 16 mm; 12,5 mm; 10 mm; 8 mm, 6,3 mm; 5 mm and 4 mm. 5.2 Corresponding bar sieves, comprising parallel cylindrical bars conforming to the requirements in T
33、able 1. The tolerances on the width of slot shall apply to the entire length of each slot. An example of a bar sieve is shown in Figure 1.

In all cases, it should be smaller than the nominal value. Figure 1 Example of a bar sieve 5.3 Balance

37、 of test portions The laboratory sample shall be reduced in accordance with EN 932-2. The mass of the test portion shall be as specified in EN 933-1. Dry the test portion at (110 5) C to constant mass. Allow to cool, weigh and record the mass as M0. 7 Procedure 7.1 Sieving on test sieves Using the a
38、ppropriate range of sieves from those specified in 5.1, sieve the test portion as specified in EN 933-1. Weigh and discard all particles passing the 4 mm sieve and retained on the 100 mm sieve. Weigh and retain separately all the particles in each particle size fraction di/Di. 7.2 Sieving on bar sie
39、ves Sieve each particle size fraction di/Diobtained from 7.1 on the corresponding bar sieve given in Table 1. This sieving operation can be carried out manually or mechanically and shall ensure complete separation. Weigh the material from each particle size fraction passing through the corresponding
40、 bar sieve. 8 Calculation and expression of results The results shall be recorded on test data sheets (see example in Annex A). Calculate the sum of the masses of the particle size fractions di/Diand record as M1. Calculate the sum of the masses of the particles in each of the particle size fraction
41、s di/Diwhich pass through a corresponding bar sieve of slot width Di/2 and record as M2. The overall flakiness index FI is calculated from the following equation: FI = (M2/M1) 100 (1) where M1 is the sum of the masses of the particles in each of the particle size fraction di/Di, in grams; M2 is the
42、sum of the masses of the particles in each particle size fraction passing the corresponding bar sieve of slot width Di/2 in grams. The overall flakiness (FI) shall be recorded to the nearest whole number. BS EN 933-3:2012 EN 933-3:2012 (E) 9 The flakiness index for each particle size fraction FIisha
43、ll be calculated, if required, from the following equation: FIi= (mi/Ri) 100 (2) where Ri is the mass of each particle size fraction di/Di, in grams; mi is the mass of the material in each particle size fraction di/Diwhich passes through the corresponding bar sieve of slot width Di/2, in grams. If t
44、he sum of the masses Ritogether with the masses of any discarded particles and any size fractions that are not tested (see 7.1) differs by more than 1 % from the mass M0(see Clause 6), the test shall be repeated, using another test portion. 9 Test report 9.1 Mandatory data The test report shall incl
