Aggregates for Concrete - Test Methods for Mechanical and Physical Properties - Part 1: Determination of Bulk Density, Particle Density, Particle Mass-per-Volume and Water Absorption
Also Known As:
ISO 20290-1:2021 standard outlines the procedures for measuring various properties of aggregates used in concrete.
The standard focuses on determining the loose or compacted bulk density, particle density, particle mass-per-volume, and water absorption of aggregates. These properties are crucial in ensuring the quality and performance of aggregates in concrete applications.
The document specifies two methods for measuring these properties. The first method utilizes a hydrostatic balance to calculate particle density and water absorption. The second method involves the use of a Pycnometer to determine particle mass-per-volume and water absorption.
By providing standardized procedures for measuring these properties, ISO 20290-1:2021 aims to promote consistency and accuracy in assessing the mechanical and physical characteristics of aggregates for concrete. This allows for informed decision-making regarding the suitability and performance of different aggregates in concrete mixtures.
