17、N 933-1, and shall conform to the requirements specified in Table 1 for the relevant aggregate size d/D. The laboratory sample used for the test shall be taken in accordance with BS EN 932-1.BS 1438:2004 2 BSI 5 March 2004 Table 1 Particle size distribution and aggregate size 4.2 Shape of aggregate

18、The shape of aggregate for use as a medium in biological percolating filters shall be determined in terms of the flakiness index, as specified in BS EN 933-3. The flakiness index of the aggregate, when determined in accordance with BS EN 933-3, shall be not greater than 30. The laboratory sample use

19、d for the test shall be taken in accordance with BS EN 932-1. NOTE The BS EN 933-3 test to determine flakiness index is different to the method described in BS 812-105.1, which will be withdrawn in June 2004. The value of 30 is nominally equivalent to a flakiness index of 40 using the BS 812-105.1 t

28、4 BSI 5 March 2004 Annex A (normative) Method for the determination of soundness (sodium sulfate soundness test) A.1 Principle A dried test portion consisting of at least 40 pieces of aggregate in the size range 6.3 mm to 63 mm is subjected to 20 cycles of immersion in a saturated solution of sodium

29、 sulfate followed by oven drying. This subjects each piece of aggregate to the disruptive effects of the repeated crystallization and rehydration within the pores of the aggregate. The extent of the degradation of the aggregate is assessed. A.2 Sampling The laboratory sample used for the test shall

30、be taken in accordance with BS EN 932-1. A.3 Apparatus A.3.1 Unless otherwise stated, all apparatus shall conform to the general requirements of BS EN 932-5. A.3.2 Test sieves, conforming to BS EN 933-2, of 6.3 mm and 63 mm size. A.3.3 Balance, of capacity suitable for weighing each piece of aggrega

31、te to an accuracy of 0.1 g. A.3.4 Density hydrometer, graduated at 20 C to measure density in the range 1.150 g/ml to 1.175 g/ml. A.3.5 Aluminium or stainless steel mesh basket(s) or tray(s), of suitable size to allow free circulation of the solution around each piece of aggregate. The base of the b

32、asket(s) or tray(s) shall be perforated to allow free access of the solution to the test portion and subsequent drainage without loss of material. A.3.6 Container(s) of sufficient size to hold the basket(s) or tray(s) listed in A.3.5 with a minimum clearance of 20 mm in all directions. The container

33、(s) shall have a volume at least five times the volume of the test portion. A.3.7 Waterbath, thermostatically controlled, or other suitable means of maintaining the temperature of the solution in the container(s) at (20 2) C. A.3.8 Ventilated drying oven, thermostatically controlled to maintain a te

34、mperature of (110 5) C. A.4 Reagents A.4.1 Sodium sulfate solution. Dissolve sodium sulfate in hot water to give a concentration of 250 g of the anhydrous salt per litre of solution. Allow the solution to cool to (20 2) C with periodic stirring and keep within this temperature range during storage a

35、nd use. A.5 Preparation of the test portion A.5.1 Reduce the laboratory sample in accordance with BS EN 932-2 to produce a test portion containing at least 40 pieces of aggregate retained in the 6.3 mm sieve (A.3.2) and passing the 63 mm sieve (A.3.2). A.5.2 Examine the test pieces for incipient cra

36、cks or other obvious weaknesses brought about by their production, and remove any such pieces before carrying out the test. A.5.3 Wash or scrub each test piece to remove loose dirt or dust. Dry the entire test portion at (110 5) C for 4 h and allow to cool. Using the balance (A.3.3), weigh each piec

37、e to the nearest 0.1 g and give it an identifying number. A.5.4 Record the masses of the individual test pieces. Calculate and record the mean mass of the pieces. A.6 Procedure A.6.1 Prior to each use of the sodium sulfate solution, break up any salt cake in the container, stir the solution thorough

38、ly and determine the specific gravity of the solution using the hydrometer (A.3.4). The solution shall have a specific gravity of not less than 1.151 and not more than 1.174 and the solution in the vessel shall be saturated at all times as indicated by the presence of crystals of sodium sulfate. A.6

39、.2 Place the dried test pieces in the basket(s) or tray(s) (A.3.5) and immerse in the sodium sulfate solution (A.4.1) in the container(s) (A.3.6). Ensure that the pieces are covered completely with solution. Immerse the container(s) in the waterbath (A.3.7).BS 1438:2004 BSI 5 March 2004 5 A.6.3 Afte

40、r the test pieces have been immersed for 19 h, remove the basket(s) or tray(s) containing them from the solution and allow to drain for 2 min to 3 min, then place the pieces for 4 h in the drying oven (A.3.8) maintained at (110 5) C. A.6.4 At the end of the 4 h drying period, remove the test pieces

41、from the oven and allow them to cool, then test the pieces individually by twisting between the fingers. Record the incidence of incipient cracks, fractures (including spontaneous fractures), and disintegration, and the cycle number at which they occur. After 1 h of cooling, immerse the pieces again

42、 in the sodium sulfate solution. A.6.5 Withdraw from the test any pieces which undergo disintegration (see Note) before the end of 20 cycles. NOTE A piece is deemed to have suffered disintegration if it has fractured into four or more smaller pieces none of which has a mass greater than one half of

43、the original mass of the piece. A.6.6 Repeat the procedure in A.6.1 to A.6.5 a further 19 times. If for any reason the continuity of the test has to be interrupted, as for example over weekends, keep the sample in the solution. NOTE One immersion, one drying and one cooling period constitutes a cycl

44、e. The treatment is applied for 20 cycles. A.6.7 At the end of 20 cycles, wash the test pieces by allowing them to stand in running water for 24 h, then place the pieces for 4 h in the drying oven (A.3.8) maintained at (110 5) C. After cooling, weigh the pieces that have remained in the test. A.7 Ca

45、lculation and expression of results A.7.1 Record: a) the final mass of each test piece; b) the difference between the final mass and the original mass of each test piece; c) the change in mass of each test piece, expressed as a percentage of the original mean mass of all the pieces tested (see A.5.4

46、); d) the total loss in mass of all the test pieces, expressed as a percentage of the original total mass of all the test pieces. A.7.2 When recording the results (A.7.1): a) any test piece withdrawn from the test because it disintegrates before completion of the 20 thcycle (see A.6.5) shall be deem

47、ed to have lost the whole of its mass; b) any test piece which is fractured or so cracked that it is easily broken with the fingers, but is not disintegrated (see A.6.5), shall be ignored when calculating both the original total mass and final total mass of all the test pieces see A.7.1 d). The test

48、 piece is still considered as having failed see A.8.1 a); c) any increase in mass (such as might be caused by the retention of sodium sulfate in the pores) shall be ignored, the change in mass being recorded as zero. A.8 Evaluation of results A.8.1 Pass/failure criteria for individual aggregate piec

49、es A test piece shall be deemed to have failed the test: a) if the test piece is fractured or so cracked that it is easily broken by the fingers; or b) if the test piece has a loss in mass greater than 10 % of the original mean mass (A.5.4) of the pieces tested. A.8.2 Soundness criteria for the test portion A test portion shall be deemed to be unsound: a) if the number of pieces which fail (see A.8.1) is equal to or
