➢ Specific gravity of the aggregate = 2.62
➢ Diameter of cylinder = 15.4 cm
➢ Height of cylinder = 16.5 cm
➢ Total volume of the cylinder = 3073.3729 cm3
➢ Volume of water added = 1290 ml (manually)

3.1. Observations:
➢ Weight of oven dried aggregate in air (gm) = a = 3782 g
➢ Weight of saturated surface dry aggregate in air (gm) = b = 3791 g
➢ Weight of saturated aggregate and bucket in water (gm) = w1 = 4419.2 g
➢ Weight of bucket in water (gm) = w2 = 2060 g
➢ Weight of saturated aggregate in water = c (gm) = (w1 – w2) = 2354.2 g

3.2. Calculations:
Oven dried bulk specific gravity = sd = a / (b – c) = 3782/(3791-2354.2) = 2.632
saturated surface dry bulk specific gravity = ss = b / (b – c)
= 3791 / ( 3791 – 2354.2) = 2.638
apparent specific gravity = sa = a / (a – c) = 3782/(3782-2354.2) = 2.648
water absorption, = wa = [(b – a) / a] x 100 = [(3791-3782)/3782] x 100 = 0.2379%

4.1. Observations and calculations:

➢ Grading used for the test = 1
➢ Number of abrasive charges used = 12
➢ Original weight of the sample, a (grams) = 10040 g
➢ No. Of revolutions = 1000 rpm
➢ Final weight after test (retained on sieve # 12), b (grams) = 8471 g
