EN 1097-8:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This Standard describes the reference method used for type testing and in cases of dispute for determining the polished stone value (PSV) of a coarse aggregate used in road surfacings. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established. Annex A describes an optional method for the determination of the aggregate abrasion value (AAV). NOTE The AAV method should be used when particular types of skid resistant aggregates (typically those with a PSV of 60 or greater) which can be susceptible to abrasion under traffic, are required. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

EN 1097-8:2009 (E) 6 3.3 laboratory sample reduced sample derived from a bulk sample for laboratory testing 3.4 subsample sample obtained by means of a sample reduction procedure 3.5 test portion sample used as a whole in a single test 4 Principle PSV is a measure of the resistance of coarse aggregate to the polishing action of vehicle tyres under conditions similar to those occurring on the surface of a road.
The test is carried out on aggregate passing a 10 mm sieve and retained on a 7,2 mm grid sieve, and is in two parts: a) test specimens are subjected to a polishing action in an accelerated polishing machine; b) the state of polish reached by each specimen is measured by means of a friction test. The PSV is then calculated from the friction determinations. 5 Sampling The sample submitted to the laboratory for the test shall be obtained from a batch of normal production from the source. Aggregate that has been freshly produced in the laboratory or has been recovered from bituminous mixtures can give misleading results and shall not be used for conformity testing. 6 Materials 6.1 General, Detailed requirements for the control of materials are specified in Annex B. 6.2 Natural corn emery, complying with the grading specified in Table 1. This shall be used only once.

NOTE Filler can be added to the resin to make it less fluid. The resin can also be added to the mould in two layers. SIST EN 1097-8:2009



EN 1097-8:2009 (E) 14 8 Preparation of test specimens 8.1 Reduce the laboratory sample using the procedures specified in EN 932-2 to produce a subsample such that when it is sieved in accordance with 8.2, a minimum of 2 kg is available for preparing the specimens. NOTE Six different aggregates can be tested at the same time. 8.2 Sieve the subsample so that all of the aggregate particles pass the 10 mm test sieve and are retained on the grid sieve. Wash and dry the retained sample and remove any elongated particles identified using the length gauge or callipers. 8.3 Obtain a minimum mass of 1 kg of the PSV control stone by the methods specified in 8.1 and 8.2. 8.4 Using the methods specified in 8.5 to 8.8, prepare four specimens of each aggregate and four specimens of the control stone. Each specimen shall consist of between 36 and 46 aggregate particles, obtained as specified in 8.2 and 8.3. NOTE The surface texture of the particles which are to be exposed to the polishing action of the rubber-tyred wheel should be representative of the average surface texture of the aggregate. Particles of differing appearance should be distributed randomly between the four specimens. Poorly selected specimens will give unrepresentative results. 8.5 Lightly coat the exposed internal faces and top edges of the metal moulds with release agent using one of the fine-haired brushes. Prepare each specimen by carefully placing the selected particles randomly in a single layer, with their flattest surfaces lying on the bottom of the mould.
Place them as closely as possible to each other and cover as much of the bottom of the mould as is possible.
Then fill the interstices between the particles to approximately three-quarters of their depth with fine aggregate (sand). Level off with a fine-haired brush or by gentle blowing. Care shall be taken not to disturb the aggregate particles. 8.6 Mix the hardener with the resin in the container in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Fill the mould to overflowing with the mixed resin and float off the surplus with the spatula without disturbing the main body of the resin. NOTE As an alternative to floating-off, the surplus can be squeezed out by covering the mould with a plastic sheet and pressing the metal cover onto the sheet. 8.7 When the resin begins to harden (normally after 5 min to 10 min), trim any excess resin from the edges of the mould with a knife. Press the metal cover to the back of the specimen by means of a clamp or weights to prevent distortion during setting. Remove the specimen from the mould after the resin has set and cooled (normally about 30 min after mixing). Remove the loose fine aggregate (sand) with the stiff bristle brush. After the resin has completely set and cooled, wait a further 30 min before polishing the specimen in accordance with Clause 10. Clean the
