1.

Thermal Conductivity Test: This test measures the rate at which heat passes through a
material, in this case, the aggregate. It helps in understanding how aggregates transfer
heat, which is important for applications where temperature differentials can affect the
performance of the material.
2. Thermal Expansion Test: This test measures the change in dimensions of the aggregate
specimen with changes in temperature. It helps in understanding how aggregates respond
to temperature variations, which is important for preventing cracking and other forms of
damage in concrete and asphalt mixes.
3. Specific Heat Capacity Test: This test measures the amount of heat required to raise the
temperature of a unit mass of the aggregate by one degree Celsius. It helps in
understanding how aggregates absorb and retain heat, which is important for applications
such as heat storage systems and thermal mass construction.
4. Freeze-Thaw Test: While this test primarily assesses the resistance of aggregates to
freezing and thawing cycles, it indirectly provides information about the temperature
effect. Aggregates that are more susceptible to damage from freezing and thawing may
exhibit poor performance in temperature-vulnerable applications.
5. Thermal Stability Test: This test evaluates the stability of aggregates when exposed to
high temperatures, such as those encountered in hot mix asphalt production. It helps in
understanding how aggregates withstand elevated temperatures without significant
degradation.
