1、Designation:C125217Standard Test Methods forUncompacted Void Content of Fine Aggregate(asInfluenced by Particle Shape,Surface Texture,andGrading)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1252;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in th
2、e case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 These test methods cover the determination of the loose,uncompacted void content of a sample
3、 of fine aggregate.Whenmeasured on any aggregate of a known grading,void contentprovides an indication of that aggregates angularity,sphericity,and surface texture compared with other fine aggre-gates tested in the same grading.When void content ismeasured on an as-received fine-aggregate grading,it
4、 can be anindicator of the effect of the fine aggregate on the workabilityof a mixture in which it may be used.1.2 Three procedures are included for the measurement ofvoid content.Two use graded fine aggregate(standard gradingor as-received grading),and the other uses several individualsize fraction
5、s for void content determinations:1.2.1 Standard Graded Sample(Test Method A)This testmethod uses a standard fine aggregate grading that is obtainedby combining individual sieve fractions from a typical fineaggregate sieve analysis.See the Section 9 for the grading.1.2.2 Individual Size Fractions(Te
6、st Method B)This testmethod uses each of three fine aggregate size fractions:(a)2.36 mm(No.8)to 1.18 mm(No.16);(b)1.18 mm(No.16)to 600 m(No.30);and(c)600 m(No.30)to 300 m(No.50).For this test method,each size is tested separately.1.2.3 As-Received Grading(Test Method C)This testmethod uses that port
7、ion of the fine aggregate finer than a4.75-mm(No.4)sieve.1.2.4 See the section on Significance and Use for guidanceon the method to be used.1.3 The values stated in SI units shall be regarded as thestandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated wit
