ORDERING INFORMATION 4.1 Orders for material under this specification shall include the following: 4.1.1 This specification designation including year; 4.12 Grading (Section 6.2 and Table 1), or alternate grading designated by the purchaser; 4.13 Supplementary requirement for sulfate soundness, if required, includ- ing salt to be used (See Section $1); and 4.14 Any exceptions or additions to this specification. 5. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS 5.1 Fine aggregate is aggregate pass- ing the 9.5-mm (3/8-in,) sieve and almost entirely passing the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. It shall consist of natural sand, or of sand prepared from stone, or of crushed blast-furnace slag, or gravel, or combinations thereof. It shall consist of hard, tough grains, free of injurious amounts of clay, loam, or other deleteri- ous substances. PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS 6. To determine conformance tothis specification, each value for grading (and sulfate soundness, when required) shall be rounded to the nearest 1 percent, and each value for plasticity index shall bbe rounded to 0.1 unit, both according to the rounding off method of R 11 62 Grading—The grading of the fine aggregate shall conform to the grad- ing in Table 1 for the Grading Number specified in the order, or other grading designated by the purchaser. 63. Grading Variability Limits—For continuing shipments of fine aggregate from a given source, the fineness modu- lus shall not vary more than 0.25 from the base fineness modulus. The base fineness ‘modulus shall be that value thatis typical ff the source, and shall be determined from previous tests, or if no. previous tests exist, from the average of the fine- ‘ness modulus values forthe first 10 sam- ples (or all preceding samples if less than 10) on the order. If necessary, the base fineness modulus may be changed when approved by the purchaser. NOTE 2—The proportioning ofa bum ‘nous mixture may be dependent on the base SPECIFICATIONS FOR MATERIALS fineness modulus ofthe Fine aggregate to be used. Therefore, when it appears thatthe base fineness modulus is considerably different from the value used in the bituminous mi ture, a suitable adjustment in the mixture may be necessary 64 Plasticity Index—The plasticity index of the fraction passing the 425- um sieve (No. 40) shall not exceed 4.0. 7. METHODS OF SAMPLING AND TESTING 7A The aggregate shall be sampled and the properties enumerated in this specification shall be determined in ac- cordance with the following methods: TAL Sampling—T 2; 7.1.2 Random Sampling—ASTM D 3665; 71.3 Grading—T 27 and T 11, Pro- cedure B; 714 Fineness Modulus—T 27; and TAS Plasticity Index—T 89 and T 90.

SI. SULFATE SOUNDNESS Sl The fine aggregate, when sub- jected to five cycles of the soundness test according to T 104, shall have a weighted loss of not more than 15 per- cent when sodium sulfate is used or 20 percent when magnesium sulfate is used, If the salt to be used is not stated by the purchaser, the fine aggregate shall be acceptable if it meets the requirements when tested with either salt,
