Significance and Use4.1 Specifications for aggregates require sampling obtaining representative portions of the supply material for testing. Otherfactors being equal, larger samples will tend to be more representative of the total

10、 supply. This practice provides procedures forreducing the large sample obtained in the field, or produced in the laboratory, to a convenient size for conducting a number of teststo describe the material and measure its quality in a manner that the smaller test sample portion is most likely to be a

11、representationof the larger sample, and thus of the total supply. descriptive and quality tests. Failure to carefully follow the procedures in thispractice could result in providing a nonrepresentativenon-representative sample to be used in subsequent testing.

16、700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959. United States14.2 Under certain circumstances, reduction in size of the large sample prior to testing is not recommended. Substantialdifferences between the selected test samples sometimes cannot be avoided, as for example, in the case of an aggregate havingrel

17、atively few large size particles in the sample. The laws of chance dictate that these few particles may be unequally distributedamong the reduced size test samples. Similarly, if the test sample is being examined for certain contaminants occurring as a fewdiscrete fragments in only small percentages

18、, caution should be used in interpreting results from the reduced size test sample.Chance inclusion or exclusion of only one or two particles in the selected test sample may importantly influence interpretation ofthe characteristics of the original sample. In these cases, the entire original sample

19、should be tested.5. Selection of Method5.1 Fine AggregateReduce the size of samples of fine aggregate that are drier than the saturated-surface-dry condition (Note2) using a mechanical splitter according to Method A. Reduce the size of samples having free moisture on the particle surfacesby quarteri

20、ng according to Method B, or by treating as a miniature stockpile as described in Method C.5.1.1 If the use of Method B or Method C is desired, and the sample does not have free moisture on the particle surfaces,moisten the sample to obtain free moisture on the particle surfaces, mix thoroughly, and

21、 then reduce the sample size.5.1.2 If use of Method A is desired and the sample has free moisture on the particle surfaces, dry the entire sample to at leastthe saturated-surface-dry condition, using temperatures that do not exceed those specified for any of the tests contemplated, andthen reduce th

22、e sample size. Alternatively, if the moist sample is very large, make a preliminary split using a mechanical splitterhaving chute openings of 38 mm 112 in. or more in width to reduce the sample to not less than 5 kg 10 lb. Dry the portion soobtained, and reduce it to test sample size using Method A.

23、NOTE 2The method of determining the saturated-surface-dry condition is described in Test Method C128. As a quick approximation, if the fineaggregate will retain its shape when molded in the hand, it may be considered to be wetter than saturated-surface-dry.5.2 Coarse Aggregates and Mixtures of Coars

24、e and Fine AggregatesReduce the sample using a mechanical splitter inaccordance with Method A (preferred method) or by quartering in accordance with Method B. The miniature stockpile Method Cis not permitted for coarse aggregates or mixtures of coarse and fine aggregates.6. Sampling6.1 Obtain sample

25、s of aggregate in the field in accordance with Practice D75, or as required by individual test methods. Whentests for sieve analysis only are contemplated, the size of the field sample listed in Practice D75 is usually adequate. Whenadditional tests are to be conducted, the user shall be satisfied t

26、hat the initial size of the field sample is adequate to accomplishall intended tests. Use similar procedures for aggregate produced in the laboratory.METHOD AMECHANICAL SPLITTER7. Apparatus7.1 Sample SplitterSample splitters shall have an even number of equal width chutes, but not less than a total

27、of eight forcoarse aggregate, or twelve for fine aggregate, which discharge alternately to each side of the splitter. For coarse aggregate andmixed aggregate, the minimum width of the individual chutes shall be approximately 50 % larger than the largest particles in thesample to be split (Note 3). F

28、or dry fine aggregate in which the entire sample will pass the 9.5-mm (38-in.) seive,sieve, a splitterhaving chutes 12.5 to 20 mm 12 to 34 in. wide shall be used. The splitter shall be equipped with a minimum of two receptaclesto hold the two halves of the sample following splitting. It shall also b

29、e equipped with a hopper or straightedgedstraight-edged panwhich has a width equal to or slightly less than the over-alloverall width of the assembly of chutes, chute assembly, by which thesample may be fed at a controlled rate to the chutes. The splitter and accessory equipment shall be so designed

30、 that the samplewill flow smoothly without restriction or loss of material (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2).NOTE 3Mechanical splitters are commonly available in sizes adequate for coarse aggregate having the largest particle not over 37.550.0 mm12 in.12 in.8. Procedure8.1 Place the original sample in the hop

31、per or pan and uniformly distribute it from edge to edge, so that when it is introducedinto the chutes, approximately equal amounts will flow through each chute. Introduce the sample at a rate so as to allow it to flowfreely through the chutes and into the receptacles below. Reintroduce the portion

32、of the sample in one of the receptacles into thesplitter as many times as necessary necessary, alternating each side, to reduce the sample to the size specified for the intended test.Reserve the portion of material collected in the other receptacle for reduction in size for other tests, when require

Procedure10.1 Use either the procedure described in 10.1.1 or 10.1.2 or a combination of both.10.1.1 Pl

Mix the material thoroughly by turning the entire sample over three times.With the last turning, shovelthe entire sample into a conical pile by deposit

35、ing each shovelful on top of the preceding one. Carefully flatten the conical pileto a uniform thickness and diameter by pressing down the apex with a shovel so that each quarter sector of the resulting pile willcontain the material originally in it. The diameter should be approximately four to eigh

36、t times the thickness. Divide the flattenedmass into four equal quarters with a shovel or trowel and remove two diagonally opposite quarters, including all fine material, andbrush the cleared spaces clean. Successively mix and quarter the remaining material until the sample is reduced to the desired

37、 size(Fig. 3).10.1.2 As an alternative to the procedure described in 10.1.1, when the floor surface is uneven, place the field sample on acanvas blanket and mix with a shovel as described in 10.1.1, or by alternately lifting each corner of the canvas and pulling it overFIG. 1 Large Sample Splitter f

39、ibed in 10.1.1. Dividethe sample as described in 10.1.1, or if the surface beneath the blanket is uneven, insert a stick or pipe beneath the blanket andunder the center of the pile, then lift both ends of the stick, dividing the sample into two equal parts. Remove the stick leavinga fold of the blan

Insert the stick under the center of the pile at right angles to the first divisionand again lift both ends of the stick, dividing the sample into four equal parts. Remove two diagonally opposite quarters, beingcareful to clean the fines from the blanket. Successive
