本欧洲标准规定了用于型式试验的参考方法，如果发生争议，则用于确定正常重量和轻质骨料的颗粒密度和吸水率。其他方法可用于其他目的，例如工厂生产控制，条件是与参考方法建立适当的工作关系。为了方便起见，本标准中还描述了其他一些方法。 规定的正常重量聚合的参考方法是: - 保留在31,5 mm筛上的骨料颗粒的丝网方法（第7条除了使用附件B的铁路镇流器）; - 通过31,5mm测试筛并保留在4mm测试筛上的聚集体颗粒的定焦计（方法8）; - 用于通过4mm测试筛并保留在0,063mm测试筛上的骨料颗粒的定焦计（方法9）。 在第7,8和9条中，在24小时的均热时间之后测定三种不同的颗粒密度参数（烘箱干燥颗粒密度，饱和和表面干燥的颗粒密度和表观颗粒密度）和吸水率。在附件B中，经烘干的颗粒密度参数在水中浸泡至恒定质量后测定。 线篮法可以

This European Standard specifies the reference methods used for type testing and in case of dispute, for the determination of particle density and water absorption of normal weight and lightweight aggregates. Other methods may be used for other purposes, such as factory production control, provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established. For convenience, some of these other methods are also described in this standard. The reference methods for normal weight aggregates specified are: - a wire basket method for aggregate particles retained on the 31,5 mm sieve (Clause 7, except for railway ballast which uses Annex B); - a pyknometer method for aggregate particles passing the 31,5 mm test sieve and retained on the 4 mm test sieve (Clause 8); - a pyknometer method for aggregate particles passing the 4 mm test sieve and retained on the 0,063 mm test sieve (Clause 9). In Clauses 7, 8 and 9, three different particle density parameters (oven-dried particle density, saturated and surface dried particle density and apparent particle density) and water absorption are determined after a soaking period of 24 h. In Annex B, the oven-dried particle density parameter is determined after soaking in water to constant mass. The wire basket method may be used as an alternative to the pyknometer method for aggregate particles passing the 31, 5 mm test sieve and retained on the 4 mm test sieve. In case of dispute, the pyknometer method described in Clause 8 should be used as the reference method. NOTE 1 The wire basket method can also be used for single aggregate particles retained on the 63 mm sieve. NOTE 2 The pyknometer method described in Clause 8 can be used as an alternative for aggregates passing the 4 mm sieve but retained on the 2 mm sieve. The reference method for lightweight aggregates (Annex C) is a pyknometer method for aggregate particles passing the 31,5 mm test sieve and retained on the 4 mm test sieve. Three different particle density parameters and water absorption are determined after pre-drying and a soaking period of 24 h. Three other methods for normal weight aggregates can be used to determine the pre-dried particle density: - a wire basket method for aggregate particles passing the 63 mm test sieve and retained on the 31,5 mm test sieve (A.3); - a pyknometer method for aggregate particles passing the 31,5 mm test sieve and retained on the 0,063 mm test sieve (A.4); - a pyknometer method for aggregate particles passing the 31,5 mm test sieve, including the 0/0,063 mm size fraction (Annex G). NOTE 3 If water absorption is less than about 1,5 %, the apparent particle density can be assessed using the pre-dried particle density method as defined in Annex A. The quick method in Annex E can be used in factory production control to determine the apparent particle density of lightweight aggregates. Guidance on the significance and use of the various density and water absorption parameters is given in Annex H.
