Fine Aggregate Sieve Analysis Test
Sieve analysis (gradation test) determines the particle size distribution, by size, within a given sample in order to
determine adherence with design, production control requirements, and verification specifications.
Concrete
Fine Aggregate Specific Gravity Test
The fine aggregate specific gravity test is utilized to ascertain the specific gravity of a fine aggregate sample by calculating the
proportion of the weight of a given volume of aggregate to the weight of an equivalent volume of water
Concrete
Fine Aggregate Water Absorption Test
Water absorption gives an idea of aggregate strength. Aggregates having more water ingestion are more permeable in nature and are generally
thought to be inadmissible except if they are viewed as acceptable dependent on strength, impact and hardness tests.
Concrete
Fine Aggregate Bulk Density Test
Bulk density is defined as mass of the aggregates per unit volume. The bulk density of aggregates decides the type of the
concrete for which it is used to know the aggregate quality.
Concrete
Fine Aggregate Silt Content Test
The test determines the presence of silt(Fine materials less than 150 microns) in the aggregates.High amount of silt is harmful
to the strength and durability.
Concrete
Fine Aggregates Bulking Test
Bulking of fine aggregate is the phenomenon of increase in volume of the aggregates due to the increase in moisture content.
Bulking test on fine aggregates ensures that the right amount of fine aggregates are used while concreting.
Concrete
Fine Aggregates clay lumps and friable particle
Sometimes clay and friable particles are found in the aggregates in the form of lumps and it can form dents on impact.
The amout of this material is calculated as percent weight and has to be limited to maximum of 1%
