FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part II ) was adopted by the Indian Staudards Institution on 22 August 1963, after the draft finalized by the
Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee bad been approved by the
Building Division Council.
0.2 One of the major contributing factors to the quality of concrete is the
quality of aggregates used therein. The test methods given in this
standard are intended to assist in assessing the qualily of aggregates.
In a given situation, for a particular aggregate, it may not be necessary
to assess all the qualities and therefore it is necessary to determine beforehand the purpose for which a concrete is being used and the qualities
of the aggregate which require to be assessed_ Accordingly, the relevant
test methods may be chosen from amongst the various tests covered in
this standard. For the convenience of the users. the test methods are
grouped into the ,following eight parts of Indian Standard Methods of
Test for Aggregates for Concrete ( IS : 2386-1963 ):

testing authorities, consumers and technologists and has related the standard to the practices followed in this country.
Further the need for
international co-ordination among standards prevailing in different
countries of the world has also been recognised.
These considerations
led the Sectional Committee to derive assistance from the published
standards and publications of the following organizations:
British Standards Institution
American Society for Testing and Materials
0.4 Wherever a reference to any Indian Standard appears m these methods,
it shall be taken as a reference to its latest version.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance
with IS : 2-1960 Rules for Rounding Off Numerical Values ( Revised ).
The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should
be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
0.6 This standard is intended chiefly to cover the technical provisions
relating to testing ofaggregates for concrete, and it does not cover all the
necessary provisions of a contract.
