Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates - Part 9: Assessment of fines - Methylene blue test
This standard describes the reference method used for type testing and in cases of dispute for the determination of the methylene blue value of the 0/2 mm fraction in fine aggregates or all-in aggregates (MB). It also describes the reference method for the determination of the methylene blue value of the 0/0,125 mm fraction (MBF) in Annex A. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided that an appropriate working relationship with the suitable reference method has been established.
Prüfverfahren für geometrische Eigenschaften von Gesteinskörnungen - Teil 9: Beurteilung von Feinanteilen-Methylenblau-Verfahren
Diese Norm legt das für die Erstprüfung und in Streitfällen anzuwendende Referenzverfahren für die Bestim-mung des Methylenblau Werts für die Kornklasse 0/2 mm in feinen Gesteinskörnungen oder Korngemischen fest. Ferner wird in Anhang A ein Referenzverfahren für die Bestimmung des Methylenblau Werts für die Kornklasse 0/0,125 mm (MBF) festgelegt. Für andere Zwecke, speziell im Rahmen der werkseigenen Produktions¬kontrolle, dürfen andere Verfahren angewendet werden, sofern ein ausreichender Zusammenhang zum Referenzverfahren nachgewiesen wurde.
Essais pour déterminer les caractéristiques géométriques des granulats - Partie 9 : Qualification des fines - Essai au bleu de méthylène
La présente norme décrit la méthode de référence utilisée pour les essais de type initiaux et, en cas de litige, pour déterminer la valeur de bleu de méthylène de la fraction 0/2 mm dans les sables ou les graves (MB). Elle décrit aussi la méthode de référence permettant de déterminer la valeur de bleu de méthylène de la fraction 0/0,125 mm (MBF) dans l'Annexe A. Dans les autres cas, en particulier pour la maîtrise de la production en usine, d’autres méthodes peuvent être utilisées sous réserve qu’une corrélation appropriée avec la méthode de référence ait été établie.
Preskusi geometričnih lastnosti agregatov - 9. del: Ugotavljanje finih delcev - Preskus z metilen modrim (vključno z dopolnilom A1)
Ta standard opisuje referenčno metodo, ki se uporablja za tipsko preskušanje in v primeru spora za ugotavljanje vrednosti metilen modrega deleža 0/2 mm v finih agregatih ali nesepariranih agregatih (MB). Prav tako opisuje referenčno metodo za določanje vrednosti metilen modrega deleža 0/0,125 mm (MBF) v dodatku A. Za druge namene, zlasti za kontrolo proizvodnje v obratu, se lahko uporabijo druge metode, če obstaja primerna delovna povezava z referenčno metodo.

1 Scope
This standard describes the reference method used for type testing and in cases of dispute for the
determination of the methylene blue value of the 0/2 mm fraction in fine aggregates or all-in
aggregates (MB). It also describes the reference method for the determination of the methylene blue
value of the 0/0,125 mm fraction (MB ) in Annex A. For other purposes, in particular factory
F
production control, other methods may be used provided that an appropriate working relationship with
the suitable reference method has been established.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
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
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
subsample
sample obtained by means of a sample reduction procedure
3.2
test portion
sample used as a whole in a single test
3.3
fines
particle size fraction of an aggregate which passes the 0,063 mm sieve
3.4
particle size fraction
fraction of an aggregate passing the larger of two sieves and retained on the smaller
NOTE The lower limit can be zero.
3.5
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 specimen 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
Increments of a solution of methylene blue are added successively to a suspension of the test portion
in water. The adsorption of dye solution by the test portion is checked after each addition of solution
by carrying out a stain test on filter paper to detect the presence of free dye.
When the presence of free dye is confirmed the methylene blue value (MB or MB ) is calculated and
F
expressed as grams of dye adsorbed per kilogram of the size fraction tested.
NOTE A conformity check, adding a single quantity of dye solution equivalent to a specified limiting value
and which may be used as part of a production control process, is described in Annex B.
5 Reagents
5.1 Dye solution, solution of standard or technical quality methylene blue, (10,0 ± 0,1) g/l (see
Annex C). The maximum period of use of the solution shall be 28 days. It shall be stored away from
light.
5.2 Distilled or demineralised water.
5.3 Kaolinite, of known methylene blue value (MB ) (see Annex D).
K
NOTE Kaolinite of MB value between 1 g and 2 g per 100 g of kaolinite is preferable in order to avoid
K
excessive use of dye.
