Foreword
This Part of BS 812 has been prepared under the direction of the Cement,
Gypsum, Aggregates and Quarry Products Standards Policy Committee and is a
revision of clause 9 of BS 812-3:1975 which is withdrawn. It forms part of a
general revision of the 1975 edition of BS 812. As each of the tests, or collection of
tests is revised it is intended to issue it as a separate Part or Section of this
standard.
The method described in this revision has not been changed technically from that
given in BS 812-3:1975. Most of the changes are editorial and the only major
change is that the test sand is no longer allowed to be re-used. Attention is also
drawn to the dust hazard that can arise during the course of the test.
