(Specification)Standard Specification for Mineral Aggregate Used on Built-Up Roofs
Standard Specification for Mineral Aggregate Used on Built-Up Roofs
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the standards for the quality and grading of crushed stone, crushed slag, and water-worn gravel intended for use as coarse mineral aggregate on built-up roofs. The crushed stone and gravel shall be hard, durable, opaque, and free of foreign substances. The crushed slag, on the other hand, shall be hard, air-cooled, and free of as well of any foreign particles. The specimens shall comply with the gradation and physical requirements prescribed herein and shall undergo testing which include a gradation test, moisture test, unit mass test, dust, and hardness test.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the quality and grading of crushed stone, crushed slag, and water-worn gravel suitable for use as coarse mineral aggregate on built-up roofs.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. ^REFERENCE:
