Historical Standard: ASTM C294-04 Standard Descriptive Nomenclature for Constituents of Concrete Aggregates
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM C294
1. Scope
1.1 This descriptive nomenclature provides brief descriptions of some of the more commonly occurring, or more important, natural and artificial materials of which mineral aggregates are composed. The descriptions provide a basis for understanding these terms as applied to concrete aggregates. When appropriate, brief observations regarding the potential effects of using the natural and artificial materials in concrete are discussed. Note 1These descriptions characterize minerals and rocks as they occur in nature and blast-furnace slag or lightweight aggregates that are prepared by the alteration of the structure and composition of natural material. Information about lightweight aggregates are given in Specifications C 330, C 331, and C 332.
1.2 This standard does not include descriptions of constituents of aggregates used in radiation shielding concrete. See ASTM C 638.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
