Significance and Use 3.1 Some contract documents specify certain aggregate sizes for specific uses or may suggest one or more of these sizes as appropriate for the preparation of various end-product, mixtures. In some cases, closer limits on variability of the aggregate grading are required. Manufacture 4.1 The standard sizes of aggregate described in this clas- sification are manufactured by means of any suitable process used to separate raw material into the desired size ranges. Production of standard sizes by blending two or more different ‘components is permitted. 5, Standard Sizes 5.1. Standard sizes of coarse aggregate shall comply with the sizes given in Table 1. All sizes shall be determined by means of laboratory sieves having square openings and conforming to Specification E 11 6, Basis of Classification 6.1 Classification is based upon the size number and size ranges shown in Table 1 with the aggregate sampled in accordance with Practice D 75 and tested for grading by Test Method C 136. as Tara ao: corse] oo wae | os or ovary a 5910] oro | cra | oovase} oot ‘ sa10| oa} cas | ssaa | oorooe| oot « sao | oro | ceaor | corse | on . 7 sao | oso | seas | sevor | oorece] on A 8 8 sao | sme | oar |cormce| con twsrrasas | 2 1 Gowers 8 sao | ane} sas | some corse | oos ® 8 ai sao | ooo | ssooe 001 01 06 oot coy a & sao | siao | seer | cormce | oo ° sao | cao was coraise | oo 6 sao | sro | orator | seaor | oom | oot * sao | oo | ssace | cores | oor . sa | coos ouase coveise| cos oo» sao sao | saz | onaos] con > sao coos oLase corse | cos wivacvarts | ase fon sa0 sro | ocase | comes | cos wweseats | © sao | aao couse cox e.ae | eo ® sao sie | ocase | ooraice} oot 2 sa0 sia conse corcice | oor | “hoszeros | (co 105 | (os (2 on) “on ure) wy) ed | oon | L0N] om | 2M T cay ge, | tage |e | oan [SEP aawwto | a, oo | ae | ot | ace | st | ese wwe Powe | se | fon | cms |e {uso seu (aued9 sent) ns Hoiicge] Woes we au Hou ‘S18iBy posses01g jo saziS puepuelS | F1GVL 1, Keywords GY D 448-030 7.1 aggregate standard size; coarse aggregate: screenings AST International takes no poston respecting the vai of any pats rights asertad i connect wth any tom mentioned sn fie tandar.
