(Main)Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates - Part 6: Assessment of surface characteristics - Flow coefficient of aggregates
Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates - Part 6: Assessment of surface characteristics - Flow coefficient of aggregates
This European Standard specifies methods for the determination of the flow coefficient of coarse and fine aggregates. It applies to coarse aggregate of sizes between 4 mm and 20 mm and to fine aggregate of size up to 4 mm.
NOTE 1 For coarse aggregates between 4 mm and 20 mm, the flow coefficient is linked with the percentage of crushed or broken surfaces of an aggregate and can therefore be used in association with the method specified in EN 933-5. Shape and surface texture characteristics also influence the result.
NOTE 2 Experience of this test has been generally limited to natural aggregates.
Prüfverfahren für geometrische Eigenschaften von Gesteinskörnungen - Beurteilung der Oberflächeneigenschaften - Teil 6: Fließkoeffizienten von Gesteinskörnungen
Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Fließkoeffizienten von groben und feinen Gesteinskörnungen fest. Sie gilt für grobe Gesteinskörnungen mit Korngrößen zwischen 4 mm und 20 mm und feinen Gesteinskörnungen mit Korngrößen bis 4 mm.
ANMERKUNG 1 Für grobe Gesteinskörnungen zwischen 4 mm und 20 mm hängt der Fließkoeffizient mit dem Prozentsatz an gebrochenen Körnern einer Gesteinskörnung zusammen und kann deshalb als alternatives Verfahren zu dem in EN 933-5 beschriebenen Verfahren angewendet werden. Das Ergebnis wird auch durch Form und Oberflächenbeschaffenheit beeinflusst.
ANMERKUNG 2 Erfahrungen mit diesem Prüfverfahren sind allgemein auf natürliche Gesteinskörnungen begrenzt.
Essais pour déterminer les caractéristiques géométriques des granulats - Partie 6: Evaluation des caractéristiques de surface - Coefficient d'écoulement des gravillons
La présente norme européenne spécifie des méthodes de détermination du coefficient d'écoulement des gravillons et sables. Elle s'applique aux gravillons de classe granulaire comprise entre 4 mm et 20 mm et des sables de classe granulaire inférieure ou égale a 4 mm.
NOTE 1 Pour les gravillons compris entre 4 mm et 20 mm, le coefficient d'écoulement est lié au pourcentage de surfaces de granulat cassées et peut donc etre utilisé pour remplacer la méthode spécifiée dans l'EN 933-5. Les caractéristiques de forme et de texture de surface influent également sur le résultat.
NOTE 2 L'application de cette norme a généralement été limitée aux granulats naturels.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies methods for the determination of the flow coefficient of coarse and
fine aggregates. It applies to coarse aggregate of sizes between 4 mm and 20 mm and to fine
aggregate of size up to 4 mm.
NOTE 1 For coarse aggregates between 4 mm and 20 mm, the flow coefficient is linked with the percentage
of crushed or broken surfaces of an aggregate and can therefore be used in association with the method
specified in EN 933-5. Shape and surface texture characteristics also influence the result.
NOTE 2 Experience of this test has been generally limited to natural aggregates.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other
publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the
publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any
of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or
revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including
amendments).
EN 932-2, Tests for general properties of aggregates — Part 2: Methods for reducing laboratory samples.
EN 932-5, Tests for general properties of aggregates — Part 5: Common equipment and calibration.
EN 933-2, Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates — Part 2: Determination of particle size
distribution — Test sieves, nominal size of apertures.
EN 933-3, Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates — Part 3: Determination of particle shape —
Flakiness index.
EN 1097-6, Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates — Part 6: Determination of
particle density and water absorption.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
aggregate size
designation of aggregate in terms of lower (d) and upper (D) sieve sizes expressed in terms as d/D
NOTE This designation accepts the presence of some particles which will be retained on the upper sieve
(oversize) and some which will pass the lower sieve (undersize).
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
sample used as a whole in a single test

3.4
constant mass
successive weighings after drying at least 1 h apart not differing by more than 0,1 %
NOTE 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.
4 Principle
The flow coefficient of an aggregate is the time, expressed in seconds, for a specified volume of
aggregate to flow through a given opening, under specified conditions using a standard apparatus.
5 Materials for the determination of the flow coefficient of coarse aggregate
3
A 6,3/10 mm reference aggregate with a particle density of 2,70 Mg/m and a flow time (E ) of
R
(100 ± 2) s when the shutter has an opening of (42,0 ± 0,2) mm. In the formulae where E is used, it
R
3
shall be taken as equal to 100 s and the particle density shall be taken as equal to 2,70 Mg/m .
NOTE 1 A recognized source of reference aggregate is the Laboratoire Régional des Ponts et
Chaussées (LRPC), Rouen, BP 245, – - 76120 Le Grand-Quevilly, France. {Telephone: + (33) 2 35 68 81 0– -
Fax: + (33) 2 35 69 39 55}
NOTE 2 A National Standards Body can recognize an alternative source of reference aggregate. The flow
coefficient of the alternative source should be established in a controlled experiment carried out in at least ten
laboratories, by cross testing against the LRPC reference aggregate. In case of dispute, the LRPC reference
aggregate should be used.
6 Apparatus
