    This document summarizes ASTM D 4791, which provides a procedure for determining the percentage of flat, elongated, or flat and elongated particles in coarse aggregate. The test method involves obtaining a sample according to AASHTO T2, drying it per AASHTO T255, performing a sieve analysis per AASHTO T27, and using a proportional caliper to measure particles on each sieve to determine whether they are flat or elongated. The percentage of flat and elongated particles for each sieve size is calculated by dividing the weight of those particles by the total weight of particles on that sieve.

    D 4791

    ASTM D 4791 FLAT PARTICLES, ELONGATED PARTICLES, OR FLAT AND ELONGATED PARTICLES IN COARSE AGGREGATE

    Conduct this procedure according to ASTM D 4791. Consult the current edition of ASTM for procedure in its entirety and equipment specification details.

    SCOPE The test method covers the determination of the percentages of flat particles, elongated particles, or flat and elongated particles in coarse aggregate.

    REFERENCED DOCUMENTS AASHTO T 2, Sampling of Aggregates AASHTO T 27, Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregate AASHTO T 248, Reducing Samples of Aggregate to Testing Size AASHTO T 255, Total Evaporable Moisture Content of Aggregate by Drying

    APPARATUS Balance Pan Proportional Caliper Device Oven Sieves: 1" (37.5 mm), 1" (25.0 mm), 3/4" (19.0 mm), 1/2" (12.5 mm), and 3/8" (9.5 mm)

    TEST SPECIMEN Obtain sample according to T 2. Thoroughly mix and reduce according to T 248. The following table is used to determine the initial sample size needed. Nominal Max Size 3/8" (9.5 mm) 1/2" (12.5 mm) 3/4" (19.0 mm) 1" (25.0 mm) 1" (37.5 mm) Sample Size 2 lbs (1 kg) 4 lbs (2 kg) 11 lbs (5 kg) 22 lbs (10 kg) 33 lbs (15 kg)

    PROCEDURE Record the information on SFN 51700. All weights are recorded to the nearest 0.1 g. Dry the sample according to T 255 at a temperature of 230 9F (110 5C). Weigh and record as weight of total sample. Run a dry sieve analysis according to T 27. Discard material passing the 3/8" (9.5 mm) sieve. For each size sieve with at least 10% retained, reduce the sample according to T 248 until about 100 particles remain. Weigh and record. If a sieve has less than 10% retained, do not test it. Use the 5:1 setting on the proportional caliper device. Use the longest dimension of the particle to set the large gap on the device. Tighten the lever. If the particle can fit through the small gap, it is flat or elongated. Set aside all flat or elongated particles from each individual sieve size. Weigh and record each portion after the entire sample has been tested.

    CALCULATIONS To calculate for a single sieve, divide the weight of particles determined to be flat and elongated by the weight of the 100 particles then multiply the result by 100. The equation is as follows: A = (B/C) x 100 A = Percent flat and elongated particles B = Weight of flat and elongated material C = Total weight of sample on sieve If a sieve has less than 10% retained, use the value for the next size larger or smaller sieve that retained 10%. If both a larger and smaller size retained 10%, use the average. Refer to SFN 51700 for remainder of calculations.

    REPORT Report the results of flat or elongated particles to the nearest whole percent.

    CALIBRATION A calibration check of the equipment should be performed annually as a minimum, or whenever damage or repair occurs.
