What it is
A graded aggregate sample is assessed using particle-shape measurements and the required calculation.
SANAS T1018
Public test guide
Estimates the average smallest thickness of aggregate particles, especially road-stone or seal aggregate.
Plain-language explanation
The project specification controls the exact method and acceptance requirement.
A graded aggregate sample is assessed using particle-shape measurements and the required calculation.
Representative graded aggregate, sizing/gauging equipment and balance.
The average least particle dimension for the tested aggregate.
Supports selection and application rates for surfacing aggregate and helps control particle shape.
Typical test sequence
Prepare and grade the representative sample
Measure or gauge particles by the specified procedure
Calculate the weighted average least dimension
