BS EN 933-1:2012 EN 933-1:2012 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard describes the reference washing and dry sieving method used for type testing and in case of dispute, for determination of the parti
24、cle size distribution of aggregates. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used, provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established. It applies to all aggregates, including lightweight aggregates, up to 90 mm
25、nominal size, but excluding filler. NOTE 1 The determination of the grading of fillers is specified in EN 933-10 Assessment of fines Grading of filler aggregates (air jet sieving). NOTE 2 Dry sieving without washing may be used for aggregates free from particles which cause agglomeration. 2 Normativ

29、ons apply. 3.1 aggregate granular material used in construction which may be natural, manufactured or recycled 3.2 test portion sample used as a whole in a single test 3.3 constant mass mass determined by successive weighings performed at least 1 h apart and not differing by more than 0,1 % NOTE In
30、many cases constant mass can be achieved after a test portion has been dried for a pre-determined period in a specified oven (see 5.3) at (110 5) C. Test laboratories may determine the time required to achieve constant mass for specific types and sizes of sample dependent upon the drying capacity of
31、 the oven used. BS EN 933-1:2012 EN 933-1:2012 (E) 5 4 Principle The test consists of dividing and separating a material into several particle size classifications of decreasing sizes by means of a series of sieves,. The aperture sizes and the number of sieves are selected in accordance with the nat
32、ure of the sample and the accuracy required. The method adopted is washing and dry sieving. When washing can alter the physical properties of a lightweight aggregate, dry sieving shall be used and the procedure specified in 7.1 shall not be applied. The mass of the particles retained on the various
33、sieves is related to the initial mass of the material. The cumulative percentages passing each sieve are reported in numerical form and, when required, in graphical form (see Annex D). 5 Apparatus Unless otherwise stated, all apparatus shall conform to the general requirements of EN 932-5. 5.1 Test
34、sieves, with apertures as specified in EN 933-2 and conforming to the requirements of ISO 3310-1 and ISO 3310-2. 5.2 Tightly fitting pan and lid, for the sieves. 5.3 Ventilated oven, thermostatically controlled to maintain a temperature of (110 5) C, or other suitable equipment for drying the aggreg
35、ates, if it does not cause any particle size breakdown. 5.4 Washing equipment. 5.5 Balances or scales, accurate to 0,1 % of test portion mass. 5.6 Trays, brushes. 5.7 Sieving machine, (optional). 6 Preparation of test portions Samples shall be reduced in accordance with EN 932-2 to produce the requi
36、red number of test portions. NOTE It may be necessary to moisten samples containing substantial amounts of fines before reduction to minimise segregation and loss of dust. The size of each test portion shall be as specified in Table 1. BS EN 933-1:2012 EN 933-1:2012 (E) 6 Table 1 Minimum size of tes
37、t portions Aggregate size D mass of aggregates volume of lightweight aggregates (litres) (maximum) mm kg 90 80 - 32 10 2,1 16 2,6 1,7 8 0,6 0,8 4 0,2 0,3 NOTE 1 For aggregates of other sizes below 90 mm, the minimum test portion mass may be interpolated from the masses given in Table 1 using the fol
38、lowing formulae: M = (D/10)2where M = minimum mass of test portion in kg D = aggregate size in mm NOTE 2 The precision of the test method may be reduced if the test portion size is less than the value in Table 1. In such a case, the test portion size should be stated in the test report (9.2). NOTE 3
39、 For aggregates of particle density higher than 3,00 Mg/m3(see EN 1097-6), an appropriate correction should be applied to the test portion masses given in Table 1 based on the density ratio, in order to produce a test portion of approximately the same volume as those for aggregates of normal density
40、. NOTE 4 For lightweight aggregates complying with EN 13055, use the volume column to choose the appropriate minimum size of test portions. The volumes for other aggregate sizes may be interpolated. Sample reduction shall yield a test portion of size larger than the minimum but not of an exact prede
41、termined value. Dry the test portion by heating at a temperature of (110 5) C to constant mass. Allow to cool, weigh and record the mass as M1. For some types of aggregate, drying at 110 C binds particles together sufficiently strongly to prevent separation of single particles during subsequent wash
42、ing and/or sieving procedures. For such aggregates the procedure given in Annex B shall be adopted. For all-in aggregates with D equal to 31,5 mm or larger, the procedure described in Annex A may be used. 7 Procedure 7.1 Washing Place the test portion in a container and add sufficient water to cover
43、 the test portion. NOTE 1 A storage period of 24 h under water is helpful in breaking down lumps. A dispersion agent may be used. Agitate the sample with sufficient vigour to result in complete separation and suspension of the fines. Wet both sides of a 0,063 mm sieve reserved for use in this test o
44、nly, and fit a guard sieve (e.g. 1 mm or 2 mm) on top. Mount the sieves in such a way that the suspension passing the test sieve can be run to BS EN 933-1:2012 EN 933-1:2012 (E) 7 waste or, when required, collected in a suitable vessel. Pour the contents of the container on to the top sieve. Continu
45、e washing until the water passing the 0,063 mm test sieve is clear. NOTE 2 Care should be taken to prevent overloading, overflowing or damaging the 0,063 mm test sieve or the guard sieve. For some aggregates, it will be necessary to pour only the suspended fines from the container onto the 0,063 mm
46、guarded test sieve, continuing to wash the coarse residue in the container and decanting the suspended fines onto the guard sieve until the water passing the 0,063 mm test sieve is clear. Dry the residue retained on the 0,063 mm sieve at (110 5) C to constant mass. Allow to cool, weigh and record as
47、 M2. 7.2 Sieving Pour the washed and dried material (or directly the dry sample) into the sieving column. The column comprises a number of sieves fitted together and arranged, from top to bottom, in order of decreasing aperture sizes with the pan and lid. NOTE 1 Experience has shown that washing doe
48、s not necessarily remove all the fines. It is therefore necessary to incorporate a 0,063 mm test sieve in the series. Shake the column, manually or mechanically. Then remove the sieves one by one, commencing with the largest aperture size opening. Shake each sieve manually ensuring no material is lo
49、st by using a pan and lid for example. NOTE 2 The effectiveness of mechanical sieving is influenced by the aggregate type, the sieving time, the loading on the sieve and the parameters of the shaking movement such as amplitude and frequency. The mechanical sieving time should hence be carefully chosen. Transfer all the material which passes each sieve onto the next sieve in the column before continuing t
