Significance and Use | ||||||||||||||
5.1 This test method assigns an empirical value to the relative amount, fineness, and character of claylike material present in the test specimen. 5.2 A minimum sand equivalent value may be specified to limit the permissible quantity of claylike or clay size fines in an aggregate. 5.3 This test method provides a rapid field method for determining changes in the quality of aggregates during production or placement. Note 3: The quality of the results produced by this standard
are dependant upon the competence of the personnel performing the
procedure and the capability, calibration, and the maintenance of
the equipment used. Agencies that meet the criteria of Practice
D3666 are generally
considered capable of competent and objective
testing/sampling/inspection/etc. Users of this standard are
cautioned that compliance with Practice D3666 alone does not completely assure
reliable results. Reliable results depend on many factors:
following the suggestions of Practice D3666 or similar acceptable guideline
provides a means of evaluating and controlling some of those
factors.

1. Scope | ||||||||||||||
1.1 This test method is intended to serve as a rapid field-correlation test. The purpose of this test method is to indicate, under standard conditions, the relative proportions of clay-size or plastic fines and dust in granular soils and fine aggregates that pass the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. The term “sand equivalent” expresses the concept that most granular soils and some fine aggregates are mixtures of desirable coarse particles, sand-size particles, and generally undesirable clay or plastic fines and dust. Note 1: For fine aggregates containing clean dust of fracture
(clay-size particles that are not clay minerals), test results will
depend on the amount of fines present in the material. In this case
other tests such as Methylene Blue Value (AASHTO T330) or X-Ray
Diffraction (XRD) may be needed to determine if the fines are
deleterious.
Note 2: Some agencies perform the test on material with a top
size smaller than the 4.75-mm (No. 4) sieve. This is done to avoid
trapping the clay-size or plastic fines and dust below flaky shaped
4.75 to 2.36 mm (No. 4 to 8) sized particles. Testing smaller top
sized material may lower the numerical results of the
test.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.2.1 Regarding sieves, per Specification E11 Section 1.2, “the values stated in SI units shall be considered standard for the dimensions of the wire cloth openings and the diameter of the wires used in the wire cloth. The values stated in inchpound units shall be considered standard with regard to the sieve frames.” When sieve mesh sizes are referenced, the alternate inch-pound designations are provided for information purposes and enclosed in parentheses. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. |
