9 P. SIKKA ( Alternate ) SHRI H. T. YAN Breithwaite Burn & Jessop Construction Co. Ltd., Calcutta IS : 2386 ( Part I ) - 1963 Indian Standard Methods OF TEST FOR Aggregates FOR CONCRETE PART I PARTICLE SIZE AND SHAPE 0. FOREWORD This Indian Standard (&rt I) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 22 August 1963, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the Building Division Council. One of the major contributing factors to the quality of concrete is the quality of Aggregates used therein. The test Methods given in this standard are intended to assist in assessing the quality of Aggregates .

10 In a given situation, for a particular aggregate, it may not be necessary to assess all the qualities and therefore it is necessary to determine before- hand the purpose for which a concrete is being used and the qualities of the aggregate which require to be assessed. Accordingly, the relevant test Methods may be chosen from amongst the various tests covered in this standard. For the convenience of the users, the test Methods are grouped into the following eight parts of Indian Standard Methods of Test for Aggregates for Concrete ( IS : 2386-1963 ): Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V Part VI Part VII Part VIII Particle Size and Shape Estimation of DeIeterious Materials and Organic Impurities Specific Gravity, Density, Voids, Absorption and Bulking Mechanical Properties Soundness Measuring Mortar Making Properties of Fine Aggreg: _.
