Category: Aggregate – Physical Properties

Methods in this category measure the inherent physical characteristics of aggregates that influence the behavior of concrete, mortar, asphalt, and other construction materials. These tests evaluate properties such as specific gravity, absorption, density, bulk unit weight, void content, and particle shape or texture. Physical property testing helps determine aggregate quality, mixture proportions, and the expected performance of aggregates in structural and pavement applications.

These methods are commonly used for material qualification, mix design development, and quality control testing.
