DETERMINATION OF PARTICLE DENSITY & WATER ABSORTION - SCOPE

(EN 1097-06/14)

2. SCOPE
This test is especially applied for the characterization of the aggregate to be
used in the mix design for asphalt mixtures and quality control of aggregates.
With this test, different characteristics are obtained:
• Bulk density: It is the ratio of the dry mass of an aggregate and the
volume it occupies in water, including the volume of any sealed internal void
but excluding the volume of any void accessible to water.
• Density of the particles of an aggregate (specific weight): is the ratio
of mass and volume of the aggregate but taking into account different voids:
