    The document outlines tests conducted to determine the specific gravity, apparent specific gravity, and water absorption of a coarse aggregate sample. It provides the test procedure and results for measuring the weight of the sample and container in water, weight of the saturated surface dry sample in air, and oven dry weight of the sample. The summary includes the average specific gravity, apparent specific gravity, and absorption percentage calculated from the individual test results.
