Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates - Part 5: Determination of percentage of crushed particles in coarse and all-in natural aggregates

This document specifies the reference method, used for type testing and in case of dispute, for the determination of the percentages of crushed particles, totally crushed particles and totally rounded particles in a sample of natural coarse aggregate or all-in aggregate. Other methods can be used for other purposes, such as factory production control, provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established.
NOTE 1   Examples of advanced test methods can be found in the Bibliography.
This document applies to gravel or to a mixture of natural coarse aggregates containing gravel. The test method specified is applicable to particle sizes between 4 mm and 63 mm.
NOTE 2   For coarse aggregate between 4 mm and 20 mm, the percentages of crushed surfaces are linked to the flow coefficient and can therefore be used in association with the test method specified in EN 933-6.
Subclause 7.1 specifies the procedure for test portions consisting of one particle size fraction and Subclause 7.2 specifies the procedure for test portions consisting of two or more particle size fractions.
Guidance for estimated mass of the test portion is given in informative Annex A.
Examples of application of the test procedure and an example of a test data sheet are given in informative Annexes B and C.

Prüfverfahren für geometrische Eigenschaften von Gesteinskörnungen - Teil 5: Bestimmung des Anteils an gebrochenen Körnern in groben Gesteinskörnungen und Gesteinskörnungsgemischen

Dieses Dokument legt das für die Erstprüfung und im Streitfall anzuwendende Referenzverfahren für die Bestimmung des prozentualen Anteils an gebrochenen Körnern, vollständig gebrochenen Körnern und vollständig gerundeten Körnern in einer Probe natürlicher grober Gesteinskörnung oder Gesteinskörnungs¬gemisch fest. Für andere Zwecke, speziell im Rahmen der werkseigenen Produktionskontrolle, können andere Verfahren angewendet werden, sofern ein ausreichender Zusammenhang mit dem Referenzverfahren nachgewiesen wurde.
ANMERKUNG 1   Beispiele für erweiterte Prüfverfahren können in den Literaturhinweisen gefunden werden.
Das vorliegende Dokument gilt für Kies oder ein Gemisch aus natürlicher grober Gesteinskörnung, das Kies enthält. Das festgelegte Prüfverfahren ist bei Korngrößen zwischen 4 mm und 63 mm anwendbar.
ANMERKUNG 2   Bei einer groben Gesteinskörnung zwischen 4 mm und 20 mm hängt der Prozentsatz an gebrochenen Oberflächen mit dem Fließkoeffizienten zusammen und kann deshalb als alternatives Prüfverfahren zu dem in EN 933 6 beschriebenen Verfahren angewendet werden.
In 7.1 wird das Verfahren für Messproben, die aus einer Kornklasse bestehen, und in 7.2 das Verfahren für Messproben, die aus zwei oder mehr Kornklassen bestehen, festgelegt.
Leitlinien für die geschätzte Masse der Messprobe werden im informativen Anhang A gegeben.
Beispiele für die Anwendung des Prüfverfahrens und ein Beispiel eines Prüf-Datenblattes werden im informativen Anhang B und im informativen Anhang C aufgeführt.

Essais pour déterminer les caractéristiques géométriques des granulats - Partie 5: Détermination du pourcentage de surfaces cassées dans les gravillons et cailloux

Le présent document spécifie la méthode de référence, utilisée pour les essais de type et en cas de litige, pour la détermination des pourcentages de grains semi-concassés, de grains entièrement concassés et de grains entièrement roulés dans un échantillon de gravillons et de graves naturels. D’autres méthodes peuvent être utilisées à d’autres fins, telles que le contrôle de la production en usine, à condition qu’une relation de travail appropriée ait été établie avec la méthode de référence.
NOTE 1   Des exemples de méthodes d’essai avancées sont présentés dans la Bibliographie.
Le présent document s’applique au gravier ou à un mélange de gravillons naturels contenant du gravier. La méthode d’essai spécifiée est applicable aux grains dont la taille est comprise entre 4 mm et 63 mm.
NOTE 2   Pour les gravillons de taille comprise entre 4 mm et 20 mm, les pourcentages de surfaces cassées sont liés au coefficient d’écoulement et peuvent donc être utilisés en association avec la méthode d’essai spécifiée dans l’EN 933-6.
L’article 7.1 spécifie le mode opératoire pour les prises d’essai constituées d’un classe granulaire et l’article 7.2 spécifie le mode opératoire pour les prises d’essai constituées d’au moins deux classes granulaires.
Des indications sur la masse estimée de la prise d’essai sont données dans l’Annexe A informative.
Des exemples d’application du mode opératoire d’essai et un exemple de feuille d’essai sont donnés dans les Annexes B et C informatives.

working relationship with the reference method has been established.
NOTE 1 Examples of advanced test methods can be found in the Bibliography.

This document applies to gravel or to a mixture of natural coarse aggregates containing gravel.

The test method specified is applicable to particle sizes between 4 mm and 63 mm.

NOTE 2 For coarse aggregate between 4 mm and 20 mm, the percentages of crushed surfaces are linked

to the flow coefficient and can therefore be used in association with the test method specified in EN 933-6.

3.1
gravel

unconsolidated, natural accumulation of typically rounded rock particles resulting from erosion

Note 1 to entry: The gravel particles are often rounded (e.g. from alluvial deposits), but they can also be

angular to sub-rounded in shape (e.g. from moraine deposits).
3.2
particle size fraction
d /D
i i

fraction of an aggregate passing the larger (D ) of two sieves and retained on the smaller (d )

i i
3.3
test portion
d /D
0 0
sample used as a whole in a single test
3.4
constant mass

mass determined after successive weighings at least 1 h apart not differing by more than 0,1 %

Note 1 to entry: In many cases, constant mass can be achieved after a test portion has been dried for a pre-

determined period in a specified oven at (110 ± 5) °C. Test laboratories can determine the time required to

achieve constant mass for specific types and sizes of sample dependent upon the drying capacity of the oven

used.
3.5
crushed surface

surface of a particle with angular fractured planar faces and often distinct corners and edges

Note 1 to entry: The crushed surface is usually produced by mechanical processing, but it can also consist

of the original surface of a gravel particle, formed by geological action (breaking without any subsequent

significant wear and weathering of the gravel particle).
3.6
totally crushed particle
particle with more than 90 % of its surface crushed (tc)
3.7
crushed particle
particle with more than 50 % of its surface crushed (c)
3.8
rounded surface

surface of a gravel particle which does not conform to the definition of crushed surface in 3.5

3.9
totally rounded particle
gravel particle with more than 90 % of its surface rounded (tr)
4 Principle

The test consists of sorting by hand a test portion of aggregates into crushed particles, totally

crushed particles and totally rounded particles.

The masses of crushed particles, totally crushed particles and totally rounded particles are

determined and expressed as percentages of the test portion mass.
5 Apparatus

Unless otherwise stated, all apparatus shall conform to the general requirements of EN 932-5.

5.1 Test sieves, of nominal size of apertures conforming with EN 933-2.
5.2 Tightly fitting pan and lid, for the sieves.

5.3 Ventilated oven, thermostatically controlled to maintain a temperature of (110 ± 5) °C or

(40 ± 5) °C, or equipment for drying the aggregate which does not cause any particle size

breakdown.

5.4 Balance or scale, of suitable capacity, readable to ± 0,1 % of the mass to be weighed.

5.5 Trays.
5.6 Brushes.
5.7 Sieving machine, optional.
6 Preparation of test portion

The test portion shall consist of particle size fraction d /D , where d is d if d ≥ 4 mm, or 4 mm if d

0 0 0
< 4 mm. D is D if D ≤ 63 mm, or 63 mm if D > 63 mm.

Samples (laboratory sample and other samples) shall be reduced in accordance with the

requirements of EN 932-2.

The mass of the laboratory sample, M , should have a minimum value as specified for the test

portion in EN 933-1.

Wash the laboratory sample on the d0 and D0 sieves. Discard the retained material on the D0 sieve

and the passing material on the d sieve. Dry the retained material d /D to constant mass in the

0 0 0
oven at (110 ± 5) °C.

Sieve the test sample in accordance with EN 933-1, using the d and the D sieve. Discard particles
