This Part of BS 812 describes methods for the determination of the particle density, water absorption, bulk density, voids and bulking of aggregates and of the particle density, bulk density and voids of filler.

Some of the tests are intended for use in obtaining assurance that material complies with British Standard or other requirements, for research, production control or assessment of variation. However, other methods are not intended for assurance testing and their suitability for other purposes is defined.

NOTE. The density terms used are defined in clause 2 of BS 812 : Part 100 : 1990.
