1.1 本试验方法包括测定粗骨料中扁平颗粒、细长颗粒或扁平和细长颗粒的百分比。本标准中介绍了两种程序，方法A和方法B。方法A反映了Superpave之前开发的原始程序，适用于所有非Superpave应用。方法B是最大颗粒尺寸与最小颗粒尺寸的比较，旨在与Superpave规范一起使用。 1.2 以英寸-磅为单位的数值应视为标准值。 括号中给出的值是到国际单位制的数学转换，仅供参考，不被视为标准值。 1.2.1 例外情况（关于筛子，根据规范 E11 )— 以国际单位制表示的数值应视为金属丝布开口尺寸和金属丝布中所用金属丝直径的标准值。当参考筛孔尺寸时，提供替代英寸-磅名称以供参考，并将其括在括号中。 1.3 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。 本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.4 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 粗骨料的颗粒形状影响某些建筑材料的性能，并可能影响其放置和固结。 5.2 本试验方法提供了一种方法，用于检查是否符合限制此类颗粒的规范，或确定粗骨料的相对形状特征。

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the percentages of flat particles, elongated particles, or flat and elongated particles in coarse aggregates. Two procedures, Method A and Method B, are presented in this standard. Method A is a reflection of the original procedure as developed prior to Superpave and is intended for all non-Superpave applications. Method B is a comparison of the maximum particle dimension to the minimum particle dimension and is intended for use with Superpave specifications. 1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.2.1 Exception (regarding sieves, per Specification E11 )— The values stated in SI units shall be considered standard for the dimensions of the wire cloth openings and the diameter of the wires used in the wire cloth. When sieve mesh sizes are referenced, the alternate inch-pound designations are provided for information purposes and enclosed in parenthesis. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 The particles shape of course aggregates influences the properties of some construction materials and may affect their placement and consolidation. 5.2 This test method provides a means for checking compliance with specifications that limit such particles or to determine the relative shape characteristics of coarse aggregates.
