    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies procedure for determination of the loose bulk density of dry aggregate and the calculation of the voids.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This European Standard specifies the test procedure for the determination of the loose bulk density of dry aggregate and the calculation of the voids.

    The test is applicable to natural and artificial aggregates up to a maximum size of 63 mm.

    A method for the determination of the apparent (bulk) density of filler in kerosene is given in annex A.
