Failure to comply with the standard is punishable by law

This standard applies to sand used as aggregate for concrete in monolithic, precast concrete and reinforced concrete structures, as well as material for the corresponding types of construction work, and specifies test methods.

1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.1. The scope of the sand test methods specified in this standard is specified in.

1.2. Samples are weighed to an accuracy of 0.1% by weight, unless otherwise specified in the standard.

1.3. Samples or weighed portions of sand are dried to constant weight in a drying oven at a temperature of (105 ± 5)° From until the difference between the results of two weighings is no more than 0.1% of the mass. Each subsequent weighing is carried out after drying for at least 1 hour and cooling for at least 45 minutes.

1.4. The test results are calculated to the second decimal place, unless other instructions are given regarding the accuracy of the calculation.

1.5. The test result is taken as the arithmetic mean of the parallel determinations provided for the corresponding method.

Non-standardized measuring instruments must pass metrological certification in accordance with GOST 8.326-89.

(Modified edition. Amendment No. 2).

2. SAMPLING

2.1. During acceptance control at the manufacturing plant, spot samples are taken, from which, by mixing, one combined sample is obtained from the replaceable product of each technological line.

2.2. Sampling of point samples from technological lines transporting products to a warehouse or directly to vehicles is carried out by crossing the material flow on a belt conveyor or at points of a material flow difference using samplers or manually.

To check the quality of sand shipped directly to the open pit face, spot samples are taken during loading into vehicles.

The sampling interval for manual sampling can be increased if the manufacturer produces products of consistent quality. To establish the permissible sampling interval, the coefficient of variation of the values ​​of the content of grains passing through a sieve with a mesh No. 016 and the content of dust and clay particles is determined on a quarterly basis. To determine the coefficient of variation of these indicators during the shift, every 15 minutes, spot samples with a mass of at least 2000 are taken. For each spot sample, the content of grains passing through a sieve with a mesh No. 016, and the content of dusty and clay particles are determined. Then the coefficients of variation of these indicators are calculated in accordance with GOST 8269.0-97.

Depending on the obtained maximum value of the coefficient of variation for the two determined indicators, the following intervals for taking spot samples during the shift are taken:

3 hours - with a coefficient of variation of the indicator up to 10%;

2 hours "" "" "15%.

(Modified edition, Amendment No. 2).

2.4. The mass of a spot sample with a sampling interval of 1 h should be at least 1500 g. four times.

If, when taking samples with a sampler, the mass of the spot sample turns out to be less than the specified one by more than 100 g, then it is necessary to increase the number of samples taken to ensure that the mass of the combined sample is at least 10,000 g.

To quarter the sample (after mixing it), the material cone is leveled and divided into four parts by mutually perpendicular lines passing through the center. Any two opposite quarters are sampled. By successive quartering, the sample is reduced by two, four times, etc. until a sample is obtained with a mass corresponding to p.

When conducting periodic tests, as well as during incoming control and when determining the properties of sand during geological exploration, the mass of the laboratory sample must ensure that all tests provided for by the standard are carried out. It is allowed to carry out several tests using one sample, if the determined properties of the sand do not change during the tests, and the mass of the laboratory sample must be at least twice the total mass required for the tests.

2.7. An analytical sample is taken from the laboratory sample for each test.

Samples are taken from the analytical sample in accordance with the test procedure.

2.8. For each laboratory sample intended for periodic testing in the central laboratory of the association or in a specialized laboratory, as well as for arbitration tests, a sampling report is drawn up, including the name and designation of the material, the place and date of sampling, the name of the manufacturer, the designation of the sample and the signature of the responsible for taking a sample of the face.

Selected samples are packed in such a way that the mass and properties of the materials do not change prior to testing.

Each sample is provided with two labels with the sample designation. One label is placed inside the package, the other in a prominent place on the package.

During transportation, the packaging must be protected from mechanical damage and moisture.

2.9. To check the quality of sand extracted and laid by hydromechanization, the reclamation map is divided in plan along the length (along the alluvium map) into three parts.

Point samples are taken from each part from at least five different locations (in plan). To take a spot sample, a hole is dug with a depth of 0.2-0.4 m. A sample of sand is taken from the hole with a scoop, moving it from bottom to top along the wall of the hole.

From the spot samples by mixing, a combined sample is obtained, which is reduced to obtain a laboratory sample according to p.

The quality of the sand is assessed separately for each part of the reclamation map according to the results of testing a sample taken from it.

2.10. In the arbitration check of the quality of sand in warehouses, spot samples are taken with a scoop in places located evenly over the entire surface of the warehouse, from the bottom of dug holes with a depth of 0.2-0.4 m. The holes should be staggered. The distance between the holes should not exceed 10 m. The laboratory sample is prepared according to p.

12.3.3. Test preparation

The test portion is prepared according to clause 12.1.1.3, while the weight of the sample is taken equal to 1 g.

12.3.4. Testing

Hinge T placed in a glass with a capacity of 100-150 ml, covered with glass and add 40-50 ml of hydrochloric acid. After the release of gas bubbles has ceased, the glass is placed on the hotplate and kept at a low boil for 10-15 minutes. Sesquioxides are precipitated by adding 2-3 drops of methyl orange indicator and adding ammonia solution until the indicator color changes from red to yellow and the smell of ammonia appears. After 10 minutes, the precipitate is filtered off. The precipitate is washed with warm water with the addition of a few drops of ammonia solution.

The filtrate is neutralized with hydrochloric acid until the color of the solution turns pink and another 2.5 ml of acid is added. The solution is heated to a boil and 10 ml of hot barium chloride solution is added at one time, stirred, the solution is boiled for 5-10 minutes and left for at least 2 hours. The precipitate is filtered through a dense filter "blue ribbon" and washed 10 times with small portions of cold water before removal of chloride ions.

The completeness of the removal of chloride ions is checked by the reaction with silver nitrate: a few drops of the filtrate are placed on glass and a drop of a 1% solution of silver nitrate is added. The absence of the formation of a white precipitate indicates the completeness of the removal of chloride ions.

A precipitate with a filter is placed in a porcelain crucible, previously calcined to constant weight at a temperature of 800-850 ° C, dried, incinerated, avoiding ignition of the filter, and calcined in an open crucible until the filter is completely burned out, and then at a temperature of 800-850 ° C in within 30-40 minutes.

After cooling in a desiccator, the crucible with the sediment is weighed. Calcination is repeated until constant weight is obtained.

In parallel with the analysis, a "deaf experience" is carried out (see note to p.). Barium sulfate amount T 2 found by "deaf experience" is subtracted from the mass of barium sulfate T 1 obtained by analyzing the sample.

1.9. When using hazardous (caustic, toxic) substances as reagents, one should be guided by the safety requirements set forth in the regulatory and technical documents for these reagents.

1.10. The Hardware sections provide links to national standards. The use of similar imported equipment is allowed. The non-standard measuring instruments used, specified in the Equipment section, must undergo metrological certification in accordance with GOST 8.326.

2. SAMPLING

2.1. During acceptance control at the manufacturing plant, spot samples are taken, from which, by mixing, one combined sample is obtained from the replaceable product of each technological line.

2.2. Sampling of point samples from technological lines transporting products to a warehouse or directly to vehicles is carried out by crossing the material flow on a belt conveyor or at points of a material flow difference using samplers or manually.

To check the quality of sand shipped directly to the open pit face, spot samples are taken during loading into vehicles.

2.3. Spot samples to obtain a combined sample begin to be taken 1 hour after the start of the shift and then taken every hour during the shift.

The sampling interval for manual sampling can be increased if the manufacturer produces products of consistent quality. To establish the permissible sampling interval, the coefficient of variation of the values ​​of the content of grains passing through a sieve with a mesh No. 016 and the content of dust and clay particles is determined on a quarterly basis. To determine the coefficient of variation of these indicators during the shift, every 15 minutes, spot samples with a mass of at least 2000 are taken. For each spot sample, the content of grains passing through a sieve with a mesh No. 016, and the content of dust and clay particles are determined. Then the coefficients of variation of these indicators are calculated in accordance with GOST 8269.

Depending on the obtained maximum value of the coefficient of variation for the two determined indicators, the following intervals for taking spot samples during the shift are taken:

3 hours with a coefficient of variation of the indicator up to 10%;

2 hours 15%.

2.4. The mass of a spot sample with a sampling interval of 1 h should be at least 1500 g. four times.

If, when taking samples with a sampler, the mass of the spot sample turns out to be less than the specified one by more than 100 g, then it is necessary to increase the number of samples taken to ensure that the mass of the combined sample is at least 10,000 g.

2.5. The pooled sample is mixed and cut by quartering or using a fluted divider to obtain a laboratory sample prior to shipment to the laboratory.

To quarter the sample (after mixing it), the material cone is leveled and divided into four parts by mutually perpendicular lines passing through the center. Any two opposite quarters are sampled. By successive quartering, reduce the sample by two, four times, etc., until a sample with a mass corresponding to clause 2.6 is obtained.

2.6. The mass of a laboratory sample during acceptance control at the manufacturer must be at least 5000 g, it is used for all tests provided for during acceptance control.

When conducting periodic tests, as well as during incoming control and when determining the properties of sand during geological exploration, the mass of the laboratory sample must ensure that all tests provided for by the standard are carried out. It is allowed to carry out several tests using one sample, if the determined properties of the sand do not change during the tests, and the mass of the laboratory sample must be at least twice the total mass required for the tests.

2.7. An analytical sample is taken from the laboratory sample for each test.

Samples are taken from the analytical sample in accordance with the test procedure.

2.8. For each laboratory sample intended for periodic testing in the central laboratory of the association or in a specialized laboratory, as well as for arbitration tests, a sampling report is drawn up, including the name and designation of the material, the place and date of sampling, the name of the manufacturer, the designation of the sample and the signature of the responsible for taking a sample of the face.

Selected samples are packed in such a way that the mass and properties of the materials do not change prior to testing.

Each sample is provided with two labels with the sample designation. One label is placed inside the package, the other in a prominent place on the package.

During transportation, the packaging must be protected from mechanical damage and moisture.

2.9. To check the quality of sand extracted and laid by hydromechanization, the reclamation map is divided in plan along the length (along the alluvium map) into three parts.

Point samples are taken from each part from at least five different locations (in plan). To take a spot sample, dig a hole 0.20.4 m deep. From the hole, a sample of sand is taken with a scoop, moving it from bottom to top along the wall of the hole.

A combined sample is obtained from the spot samples by mixing, which is reduced to obtain a laboratory sample according to clause 2.5.

The quality of the sand is assessed separately for each part of the reclamation map according to the results of testing a sample taken from it.

2.10. During arbitration testing of the quality of sand in warehouses, spot samples are taken with a scoop in places located evenly over the entire surface of the warehouse, from the bottom of dug holes 0.20.4 m deep. The holes should be staggered. The distance between the holes should not exceed 10 m. The laboratory sample is prepared according to clause 2.5.

2.11. During the incoming inspection at the consumer enterprise, a combined sample of sand is taken from the tested batch of material in accordance with the requirements of GOST 8736. A laboratory sample is prepared in accordance with clause 2.5.

2.12. During geological exploration, samples are taken in accordance with the normative and technical documentation approved in the prescribed manner.

3. DETERMINATION OF GRAIN COMPOSITION AND COARSE MODULE

3.1. The essence of the method

The grain size distribution is determined by sieving the sand on a standard set of sieves.

3.2. Equipment

A set of sieves in accordance with GOST 6613 and sieves with round holes with a diameter of 10; 5 and 2.5 mm.

Drying cabinet.

3.3. Test preparation

An analytical sample of sand weighing at least 2000 g is dried to constant weight.

3.4. Testing

A sample of sand dried to constant weight is sieved through sieves with round holes 10 and 5 mm in diameter.

Residues on sieves are weighed and the content of gravel fractions with a grain size of 5 to 10 mm ( Gr 5) and St. 10 mm ( Gr 10) in percentage by weight according to the formulas:

where M 10 residue on a sieve with round holes with a diameter of 10 mm, g;

M 5 residue on a sieve with round holes 5 mm in diameter, g;

M sample weight, g.

From a part of the sand sample that has passed through a sieve with holes 5 mm in diameter, a sample weighing at least 1000 g is taken to determine the grain size composition of the sand.

It is allowed for geological exploration to disperse the sample after preliminary flushing with the determination of the content of dust and clay particles. The content of dusty and clay particles is included when calculating the results of sieving in the mass of particles passing through a sieve with a mesh No. 016, and in the total weight of the sample. In mass tests, after washing with the determination of the content of dusty and clay particles and drying the sample to constant weight, it is allowed to sift a sample of sand (without gravel fraction) weighing 500 g.

The prepared sample of sand is sieved through a set of sieves with round holes 2.5 mm in diameter and with meshes No. 1.25; 063; 0315 and 016.

Sifting is done mechanically or manually. The duration of sieving should be such that, with control intensive manual shaking of each sieve for 1 min, no more than 0.1% of the total mass of the sieved sample passes through it. With mechanical sieving, its duration for the device used is established empirically.

With manual sieving, it is allowed to determine the end of sieving by vigorously shaking each sieve over a sheet of paper. Sifting is considered complete if there is practically no falling of sand grains.

When determining the grain size composition by the wet method, a sample of the material is placed in a vessel and filled with water. After 24 hours, the contents of the vessel are thoroughly mixed until the clay film is completely soaked onto grains or lumps of clay, poured (in portions) onto the top sieve of a standard set and sieved, rinsing the material on sieves until the wash water becomes clear. The partial residues on each sieve are dried to constant weight and cooled to room temperature, then their weight is determined by weighing.

(Modified edition, Amendment No. 1).

3.5. Processing of results

Based on the results of sifting, the following is calculated:

The partial residue on each sieve ( a i) as a percentage according to the formula

where t i the mass of the residue on a given sieve, g;

T weight of the sieved sample, g;

The total residue on each sieve ( A i) as a percentage according to the formula

where a 2,5 , a 1,25 , a i partial residues on the respective sieves;

Sand fineness module ( M j) without grains larger than 5 mm according to the formula

where A 2,5 , A 1,25 , A 063 , A 0315 , A 016 complete residues on a sieve with round holes with a diameter of 2.5 mm and on sieves with mesh No. 1.25; 063; 0315, 016,%.

The result of determining the grain size composition of sand is drawn up in accordance with table. 1 or depicted graphically in the form of a sieving curve in accordance with fig. 1.

(Modified edition. Amendment No. 2).

2. SAMPLING

2.1. At the acceptance control of the manufacturer, point samples are taken, from which, by mixing, one combined sample is obtained from the replaceable product of each technological line.

2.2. Sampling of point samples of technological lines transporting products to a warehouse or directly to vehicles is carried out by crossing the material flow on a belt conveyor or at points of a material flow difference using samplers or manually.

To check the quality of the sand shipped directly to the open pit face, spot samples are taken during loading into vehicles.

2.3. Accurate samples to obtain a combined sample begin to be taken 1 hour after the start of the shift and then taken every hour during the shift.

The sampling interval for manual sampling can be increased if the manufacturer produces products of consistent quality. To establish the permissible sampling interval, the coefficient of variation of the values ​​of the content of grains passing through a sieve with a mesh No. 016 and the content of dusty and clay particles is determined on a quarterly basis. To determine the coefficient of variation of these indicators, during the shift every 15 minutes, point samples with a mass of at least 2000 g are taken. For each spot sample, the content of grains passing through the sieve mesh No. 016 and the content of dusty and clay particles are determined. Then the coefficients of variation of these indicators are calculated in accordance with GOST 8269.0-97.

Depending on the obtained maximum value of the coefficient of variation for the two determined indicators, the following intervals for taking spot samples during the shift are taken:

3 hours - with a coefficient of variation of the indicator up to 10%;

2 hours "" "" "15%.

(Modified edition, Amendment No. 2).

2.4. The mass of a spot sample at a sampling interval of 1 hour should be at least 1500 g. When the sampling interval is increased in accordance with clause 2.3, the mass of a sampled spot sample should be doubled at an interval of 2 h, and four times at an interval of 3 h.

If, when taking a sampler with a sampler, the mass of a spot sample turns out to be less than the specified one by more than 100 g, then it is necessary to increase the number of samples taken to ensure that the mass of the combined sample is at least 10,000 g.

2.5 The pooled sample is mixed and cut by quartering or using a fluted divider to obtain a laboratory sample prior to shipment to the laboratory.

To quarter the sample (after mixing), the material cone is leveled and divided into four parts by mutually perpendicular lines passing through the center. Any two opposite quarters are sampled. By successive quartering, the sample is reduced by two, four times, etc. until a sample is obtained with a mass corresponding to clause 2.6.

2.6. The mass of a laboratory sample during acceptance control at the manufacturing plant should be at least 5000 g, it is used for all tests provided for during acceptance control.

When conducting periodic tests, as well as during incoming control and when determining the properties of sand during geological exploration, the mass of the laboratory sample must ensure that all tests provided for by the standard are carried out. It is allowed to carry out several tests using one sample, if the determined properties of the sand do not change during the tests, while the mass of the laboratory sample must be at least twice the total mass required for the tests.

2.7. An analytical sample is taken from the laboratory sample for each test.

Samples are taken from the analytical sample in accordance with the test procedure.

2.8. For each laboratory sample intended for periodic testing in the central laboratory of the association or in a specialized laboratory, as well as for arbitration tests, a sampling report is drawn up, including the name and designation of the material, the place and date of sampling, the name of the manufacturer, the designation of the sample and the signature of the person responsible for sampling ...

Selected samples are packaged in such a way that the weight and properties of the materials are not altered prior to testing.

Each sample is provided with two labels with the sample designation. One label is placed inside the package, the other in a prominent place on the package.

During transportation, the package must be protected from mechanical damage and moisture.

2.9. To check the quality of the sand, mined and laid by the hydromechanization method, the reclamation map is divided in the plan along the length (along the alluvium map) into three parts.

Point samples are taken from each part from at least five different locations (in plan). To take a spot sample, a hole is dug with a depth of 0.2-0.4 m. From the hole, a sample of sand is taken with a scoop, moving it from bottom to top along the wall of the hole.

From point samples by mixing, a combined sample is obtained, which is reduced to obtain a laboratory sample according to clause 2.5.

The quality of the sand is assessed separately for each part of the reclamation map according to the test results of a sample taken from it.

2.10. In the arbitration check of the quality of sand in warehouses, spot samples are taken with a scoop in places located evenly over the entire surface of the warehouse, from the bottom of dug holes 0.2-0.4 m deep. The holes should be staggered. The distance between the holes should not exceed 10 m. The laboratory sample is prepared according to clause 2.5.

3.3. Test preparation

An analytical sample with a sand mass of at least 2000 g is dried to constant weight.

3.4. Testing

A sample of sand dried to constant weight is sieved through sieves with round holes 10 and 5 mm in diameter.

Residues on sieves are weighed and the content of gravel fractions with a grain size of 5 to 10 mm ( Gr 5) and St. 10 mm ( Gr 10) in percentage by weight according to the formulas:

(2)

where M 10 - the remainder of a sieve with round holes with a diameter of 10 mm, g;

M 5 - residue on a sieve with round holes 5 mm in diameter, g;

M - sample weight, g.

From a part of the sand sample that has passed through a sieve with holes 5 mm in diameter, a sample weighing at least 1000 g is taken to determine the grain size composition of the sand.

It is allowed during geological exploration to disperse the sample after preliminary flushing by determining the content of dust and clay particles. The content of dust-like acicular particles is included when calculating the results of sieving in the mass of particles passing through a sieve with a mesh No. 016, and in the total weight of the sample. In mass tests, after washing with the determination of the content of dust-like acicular particles and drying the sample to constant weight, it is allowed to sift a sample (without gravel fraction) weighing 500 g.

The prepared sample of sand is sifted through a set of sieves with round holes 2.5 mm in diameter and with meshes No. 1.25; 063; 0315 and 016.

Sifting is carried out mechanically or manually. The duration of sieving should be such that, with a control intensive manual shaking of each sieve for 1 min, no more than 0.1% of the total mass of the sieved sample passes through it for 1 min. With mechanical sieving, its duration for the device used is set empirically.

With manual sieving, it is allowed to determine the end of sieving by vigorously shaking each siton with a sheet of paper. Sifting is considered complete if there is practically no falling of sand grains.

When determining the grain composition by the wet method, a sample of the material is placed into a vessel and poured with water. After 24 hours, the contents of the vessel are thoroughly mixed until the clay film is completely soaked onto grains or lumps of clay, poured (in portions) onto the upper sieve of a standard set and sieved, washing the material on sieves until then, until the wash water becomes clear. Partial residues on each sieve are dried to constant weight and cooled to room temperature, then their weight is determined by weighing.

Failure to comply with the standard is punishable by law

This standard applies to sand used as aggregate for concrete in monolithic, precast concrete and reinforced concrete structures, as well as material for the corresponding types of construction work, and specifies test methods.

1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

1.1. The scope of the sand test methods specified in this standard is indicated in the appendix.

1.2. Samples are weighed to an accuracy of 0.1% by weight, unless otherwise specified in the standard.

1.3. Samples or weighed portions of sand are dried to constant weight in a drying oven at a temperature of (105 ± 5) ° From until the difference between the results of two weighings is no more than 0.1% of the mass. Each subsequent weighing is carried out after drying for at least 1 hour and cooling for at least 45 minutes.

1.4. The test results are calculated to the second decimal place, unless other instructions are given regarding the accuracy of the calculation.

1.5. The test result is taken as the arithmetic mean of the parallel determinations provided for the corresponding method.

1.6. The standard set of sand screens includes 10 round-hole screens; 5 and 2.5 mm and wire sieves with standard square meshes No. 1.25; 063; 0315; 016; 005 in accordance with GOST 6613 (sieve frames are round or square with a diameter or side side of at least 100 mm).

Note. The use of sieves with nets No. 014 is allowed before equipping enterprises with sieves with nets No. 016.

1.7. The temperature of the room in which the tests are carried out shall be (25 ± 10) ° C. Before starting the test, sand and water should be at a temperature corresponding to the temperature of the air in the room.

1.8. Water for testing is used in accordance with GOST 2874 or GOST 23732, if the standard does not provide instructions on the use of distilled water.

1.9. When using hazardous (caustic, toxic) substances as reagents, one should be guided by the safety requirements set forth in the regulatory and technical documents for these reagents.

1.10. The "Hardware" sections provide links to national standards. The use of similar imported equipment is allowed. The non-standard measuring instruments used, specified in the "Equipment" section, must undergo metrological certification in accordance with GOST 8.326.

2. SAMPLING

2.1. During acceptance control at the manufacturing plant, spot samples are taken, from which, by mixing, one combined sample is obtained from the replaceable product of each technological line.

2.2. Sampling of point samples from technological lines transporting products to a warehouse or directly to vehicles is carried out by crossing the material flow on a belt conveyor or at points of a material flow difference using samplers or manually.

To check the quality of sand shipped directly to the open pit face, spot samples are taken during loading into vehicles.

2.3. Spot samples to obtain a combined sample begin to be taken 1 hour after the start of the shift and then taken every hour during the shift.

The sampling interval for manual sampling can be increased if the manufacturer produces products of consistent quality. To establish the permissible sampling interval, the coefficient of variation of the values ​​of the content of grains passing through a sieve with a mesh No. 016 and the content of dust and clay particles is determined on a quarterly basis. To determine the coefficient of variation of these indicators during the shift, every 15 minutes, spot samples with a mass of at least 2000 are taken. For each spot sample, the content of grains passing through a sieve with a mesh No. 016, and the content of dust and clay particles are determined. Then the coefficients of variation of these indicators are calculated in accordance with GOST 8269.

Depending on the obtained maximum value of the coefficient of variation for the two determined indicators, the following intervals for taking spot samples during the shift are taken:

3 hours - with a coefficient of variation of the indicator up to 10%;

2 h ”” ”” ”15%.

2.4. The mass of a spot sample with a sampling interval of 1 hour should be at least 1500 g. When increasing the sampling interval in accordance with clause 2.3, the mass of a selected spot sample should be doubled at an interval of 2 hours, at an interval of 3 hours - four times.

If, when taking samples with a sampler, the mass of the spot sample turns out to be less than the specified one by more than 100 g, then it is necessary to increase the number of samples taken to ensure that the mass of the combined sample is at least 10,000 g.

2.5. The pooled sample is mixed and cut by quartering or using a fluted divider to obtain a laboratory sample prior to shipment to the laboratory.

To quarter the sample (after mixing it), the material cone is leveled and divided into four parts by mutually perpendicular lines passing through the center. Any two opposite quarters are sampled. By successive quartering, reduce the sample by two, four times, etc., until a sample with a mass corresponding to clause 2.6 is obtained.

2.6. The mass of a laboratory sample during acceptance control at the manufacturer must be at least 5000 g, it is used for all tests provided for during acceptance control.

When conducting periodic tests, as well as during incoming control and when determining the properties of sand during geological exploration, the mass of the laboratory sample must ensure that all tests provided for by the standard are carried out. It is allowed to carry out several tests using one sample, if the determined properties of the sand do not change during the tests, and the mass of the laboratory sample must be at least twice the total mass required for the tests.

2.7. An analytical sample is taken from the laboratory sample for each test.

Samples are taken from the analytical sample in accordance with the test procedure.

2.8. For each laboratory sample intended for periodic testing in the central laboratory of the association or in a specialized laboratory, as well as for arbitration tests, a sampling report is drawn up, including the name and designation of the material, the place and date of sampling, the name of the manufacturer, the designation of the sample and the signature of the responsible for taking a sample of the face.

Selected samples are packed in such a way that the mass and properties of the materials do not change prior to testing.

Each sample is provided with two labels with the sample designation. One label is placed inside the package, the other in a prominent place on the package.

During transportation, the packaging must be protected from mechanical damage and moisture.

2.9. To check the quality of sand extracted and laid by hydromechanization, the reclamation map is divided in plan along the length (along the alluvium map) into three parts.

Point samples are taken from each part from at least five different locations (in plan). To take a spot sample, a hole is dug with a depth of 0.2-0.4 m. A sample of sand is taken from the hole with a scoop, moving it from bottom to top along the wall of the hole.

A combined sample is obtained from the spot samples by mixing, which is reduced to obtain a laboratory sample according to clause 2.5.

The quality of the sand is assessed separately for each part of the reclamation map according to the results of testing a sample taken from it.

2.10. In the arbitration check of the quality of sand in warehouses, spot samples are taken with a scoop in places located evenly over the entire surface of the warehouse, from the bottom of dug holes with a depth of 0.2-0.4 m. The holes should be staggered. The distance between the holes should not exceed 10 m. The laboratory sample is prepared according to clause 2.5.

2.11. During the incoming inspection at the consumer enterprise, a combined sample of sand is taken from the tested batch of material in accordance with the requirements of GOST 8736. A laboratory sample is prepared in accordance with clause 2.5.

2.12. During geological exploration, samples are taken in accordance with the normative and technical documentation approved in the prescribed manner.

3. DETERMINATION OF GRAIN COMPOSITION AND COARSE MODULE

3.1. The essence of the method

The grain size distribution is determined by sieving the sand on a standard set of sieves.

3.2. Equipment

A set of sieves in accordance with GOST 6613 and sieves with round holes with a diameter of 10; 5 and 2.5 mm.

Drying cabinet.

3.3. Test preparation

An analytical sample of sand weighing at least 2000 g is dried to constant weight.

3.4. Testing

A sample of sand dried to constant weight is sieved through sieves with round holes 10 and 5 mm in diameter.

Residues on sieves are weighed and the content of gravel fractions with a grain size of 5 to 10 mm ( Gr 5) and St. 10 mm ( Gr 10) in percentage by weight according to the formulas:

(1)

(2)

Where M 10 - residue on a sieve with round holes with a diameter of 10 mm, g;

M 5 - residue on a sieve with round holes 5 mm in diameter, g;

M - sample weight, g.

From a part of the sand sample that has passed through a sieve with holes 5 mm in diameter, a sample weighing at least 1000 g is taken to determine the grain size composition of the sand.

It is allowed for geological exploration to disperse the sample after preliminary flushing with the determination of the content of dust and clay particles. The content of dusty and clay particles is included when calculating the results of sieving in the mass of particles passing through a sieve with a mesh No. 016, and in the total weight of the sample. In mass tests, after washing with the determination of the content of dusty and clay particles and drying the sample to constant weight, it is allowed to sift a sample of sand (without gravel fraction) weighing 500 g.

The prepared sample of sand is sieved through a set of sieves with round holes 2.5 mm in diameter and with meshes No. 1.25; 063; 0315 and 016.

Sifting is done mechanically or manually. The duration of sieving should be such that, with control intensive manual shaking of each sieve for 1 min, no more than 0.1% of the total mass of the sieved sample passes through it. With mechanical sieving, its duration for the device used is established empirically.

With manual sieving, it is allowed to determine the end of sieving by vigorously shaking each sieve over a sheet of paper. Sifting is considered complete if there is practically no falling of sand grains.

When determining the grain size composition by the wet method, a sample of the material is placed in a vessel and filled with water. After 24 hours, the contents of the vessel are thoroughly mixed until the clay film is completely soaked onto grains or lumps of clay, poured (in portions) onto the top sieve of a standard set and sieved, rinsing the material on sieves until the wash water becomes clear. The partial residues on each sieve are dried to constant weight and cooled to room temperature, then their weight is determined by weighing.

(Modified edition, Amendment No. 1).

3.5. Processing of results

Based on the results of sifting, the following is calculated:

The partial residue on each sieve ( a i) as a percentage according to the formula

(3)

Where t i - the mass of the residue on a given sieve, g;

T - weight of the sieved sample, g;

The total residue on each sieve ( A i) as a percentage according to the formula

(4)

Where a 2,5 , a 1,25 , a i - partial residues on the respective sieves;

5.2.3. Testing

A sample of sand weighing about 1000 g in a state of natural moisture is weighed, placed in a bucket (without a label) and filled with 4.5 liters of water. In addition, about 500 ml of water is prepared for subsequent rinsing of the bucket.

The sand filled with water is kept for 2 hours, stirring it several times, and thoroughly washed from the clay particles adhering to the grains. Then the contents of the bucket are poured carefully onto two sieves: the upper one with mesh No. 063 and the lower one with mesh No. 016, placed on a bucket with marks.

The suspensions are allowed to settle and the clarified water is carefully poured into the first bucket. The sand is washed again with the drained water on sieves over the second bucket (with marks). After that, the first bucket is rinsed with the water left and this water is drained into the second bucket. At the same time, such an amount of the left water is used so that the level of the suspension in the latter reaches exactly the 5 l mark; if the remaining water is not enough for this, the volume of the suspension is brought to 5 liters by adding additional water.

After that, the suspension is thoroughly mixed in a bucket and immediately filled with it using a funnel, alternately two metal cylinders with a capacity of 1000 ml, while continuing to stir the suspension. The slurry level in each cylinder must match the mark on the sight glass.

The suspension in each cylinder is stirred with a glass or metal rod or the cylinder is overturned several times, closing it with a lid for better mixing.

After the end of stirring, leave the cylinder at rest for 1.5 minutes. 5-10 s before the end of exposure, a graduated pipette with a tube closed with a finger is lowered into the cylinder so that the support cap rests on the top of the cylinder wall, while the bottom of the pipette will be at the level of suspension withdrawal - 190 mm from the surface. After the specified time (5-10 s), open the pipette tube and after filling it again close the tube with a finger, remove the pipette from the cylinder and, opening the tube, pour the contents of the pipette into a pre-weighed cup or glass. The filling of the pipette is controlled by the change in the level of the suspension in the viewing window.

The optical density of the tannin solution, determined on a photocolorimeter or spectrophotometer in the wavelength range of 450-500 nm, should be 0.60-0.68.

6.4. Testing

The measuring cylinder is filled with sand to a level of 130 ml and it is filled with a 3% sodium hydroxide solution to a level of 200 ml. The contents of the cylinder are stirred and left for 24 hours, stirring is repeated 4 hours after the first stirring. Then compare the color of the liquid over the sample with the color of the standard solution or glass, the color of which is identical to the color of the standard solution.

Sand is suitable for use in concrete or mortar if the liquid above the sample is colorless or is much weaker than the standard solution.

When the color of the liquid is slightly lighter than the standard solution, the contents of the vessel are heated for 2-3 hours in a water bath at a temperature of 60-70 ° C and the color of the liquid above the sample is compared with the color of the standard solution.

When the color of the liquid is the same or darker than the color of the standard solution, it is necessary to test the aggregate in concrete or solutions in specialized laboratories.
