 ______________________________________________________________________________

V. Procedure:

Fine Aggregate
1. Find the empty weight of the metal measure.
2. Fill the metal measure 1/3 full of then dry sample.
3. Rod the layer of fine aggregate with 25 strokes. (Do not allow the rod to strike bottom of the
measure).
4. Fill the measure 2/3 full, level and rod as in Step 3
5. Fill the measure overflowing and rod as in step 3.
6. Level the surface of the fine aggregate with the finger and tamping rod such that any
slight projection of the large pieces of the coarse aggregate approximately balances the
large voids in the surface below the top of the measure.
7. Weigh the measure with the aggregate and find the net weight of fine aggregate.

Coarse Aggregates
1. Find the empty weight of the metal measure.
2. Fill the metal measure 1/3 full of then dry sample.
3. Rod the layer of coarse aggregate with 25 strokes (Do not allow the rod bottom of the
measure).
4. Fill the measure 2/3 full, level and rod as in step 3.
5. Fill the measure overflowing and rod as in step 3.
6. Level the surface of the coarse aggregate with the finger tamping rod such that any
slight projection of the large pieces of the coarse aggregate approximately balances the
large voids in the surface below the top of the measure.
7. Weigh the measure with coarse aggregate and find the net weight of the coarse
aggregate
