ASTM C128-01
Standard Test Method for Density, Relative Density (Specific Gravity), and Absorption of Fine Aggregate
This test method covers the determination of bulk and apparent specific gravity, 23/23°C (73.4/73.4°F), and absorption of fine aggregate. 1.2 This test method determines (after 24 h in water) the bulk specific gravity and the apparent specific gravity as defined in Terminology E12, the bulk specific gravity on the basis of weight of saturated surface-dry aggregate, and the absorption as defined in Definitions C125. Note 1-The subcommittee is considering revising Test Methods C127 and C128 to use the term "density" instead of "specific gravity" for coarse and fine aggregate, respectively. 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
