1 GENERAL
1.1 This standard refers to expanded slag aggregates for light concrete obtained by crushing and sorting the
expended slag, used in building, accordingly to the legal instructions in force. Expanded slag is obtained by cooling
blast-furnace slag in expandation vat, with powerful water jets.

1.2 Expanded slag is delivered in the following types of granularity, provided in table 1.

Table 1
Sort designation Size, in mm.
0-7 0...7
7 - 15 7...15
15 - 30 15...30

NOTE – By agreement between parties, other types can also be delivered.

1.3 Depending on the bulk density in refined and dry state, expanded slag aggregates are classified in the
following classes provided in table 2.

Kg/m3
under 600 under 600
600-900 600...900
900-1200 900...1200

1.4 The unity for S.I. force legal in R.S.Romania – the newton (N) – has been rounded off as 1 N = 0.1 kgf

The exact transformation is 1 N = kgf …

NOTE – In the class under 600 of aggregates, the compression strength is not normalized.

2.2 Deviations for the granulometric composition:

- granules larger than the superior limit, % max. ……..5,
- granules smaller than the inferior limit, % max. …….10.

NOTE - For the equipment from the Hunedoara Integrated iron and steel works there are admitted 25 % granules smaller
than the inferior limit until December 31, 1971

3 QUALITY CHECKING RULES

3.1 Quality checking for the expanded slag aggregates is performed on batches.

3.2 It is considered a batch the quantity produced in a 24 hours period of time (max. 100 t) expanded slag with the
same composition and from the same sort.

3.3 The determination of bulk density in refined and dry state and compression strength is performed on samples
taken only from 7-15 sort batches.

3.4 For the other characteristics the verification is performed on all the sorts.

3.5 Samples are taken according to STAS 2386-61.

4 CHECKING METHODS

4.1 The granulometric composition is checked according to STAS 4606-62.

4.2 The other characteristics are checked according to the standards provided in table 3.

5 DELIVERY, STORING AND TRANSPORT

5.1 The delivery and storing of expanded slag aggregates is done in bulk, separated by sorts.

5.2 The transport is made in open means of transportation.

5.3 Each delivery is accompanied by a quality certificate which contains the results of all tests performed on
expanded slag.
