Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates - Part 9: Assessment of fines - Methylene blue test
This standard describes the reference method used for type testing and in cases of dispute for the determination of the methylene blue value of the 0/2 mm fraction in fine aggregates or all-in aggregates (MB). It also describes the reference method for the determination of the methylene blue value of the 0/0,125 mm fraction (MBF) in Annex A. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided that an appropriate working relationship with the suitable reference method has been established.
Prüfverfahren für geometrische Eigenschaften von Gesteinskörnungen - Teil 9: Beurteilung von Feinanteilen-Methylenblau-Verfahren
Diese Norm legt das für die Erstprüfung und in Streitfällen anzuwendende Referenzverfahren für die Bestimmung
des Methylenblau-Werts für die Kornklasse 0/2 mm in feinen Gesteinskörnungen oder Korngemischen
fest. Ferner wird in Anhang A ein Referenzverfahren für die Bestimmung des Methylenblau-Werts für die
Kornklasse 0/0,125 mm (MBF) festgelegt. Für andere Zwecke, speziell im Rahmen der werkseigenen
Produktionskontrolle, dürfen andere Verfahren angewendet werden, sofern ein ausreichender
Zusammenhang zum Referenzverfahren nachgewiesen wurde.
Essais pour déterminer les caractéristiques géométriques des granulats - Partie 9 : Qualification des fines - Essai au bleu de méthylène
La présente norme décrit la méthode de référence utilisée pour les essais de type initial et, en cas de litige,
pour déterminer la valeur de bleu de méthylène de la fraction 0/2 mm dans les sables ou les graves (MB). Elle
décrit aussi la méthode de référence permettant de déterminer la valeur de bleu de méthylène de la
fraction 0/0,125 mm (MBF) dans l'Annexe A. Dans les autres cas, en particulier pour la maîtrise de la
production en usine, d’autres méthodes peuvent être utilisées sous réserve d’être en corrélation avec la
méthode de référence.
