    PT DIVISION

    LANDMARK MATERIAL TESTING AND RESEARCH LABORATORY PVT LTD JAIPUR

    INSTRUCTIONS
    LRL/PT/FIAG/B07/19 - MECHANICAL TESTING

    You are required to follow the instructions laid down below in accordance to the PT plan.

    1. You will receive one box containing ten packets of PT samples and an envelope
    containing Instruction Sheet, Form-2 and Form-3.
    2. Open the box as soon as you receive it, take out the sample packets safely from the box,
    and examine the PT material and report the receiving vide FORM-2.
    3. In case of damaged samples, send the photographs of sample along with Form-No.2 and
    ask for other fresh samples.
    4. Replicated samples will only be resend if found appropriate to PT coordinator on the
    basis of assessment as per the information furnished vide form No.2.
    5. All the samples are prepared separately, caution is required to keep the samples safely
    and separately to avoid inter- mixing/adulteration. Emptying of the packets shall be done
    properly so as to finer particles of sand should not be left stuck inside the packet.
    6. Samples are labeled with unique identity to separate them for different tests. The detail of
    test parameters, methods and sample ID to be used is elaborated in table below:

    11. For soundness test, Magnesium Sulphate heptahydrate of technical grade confirming to
    IS :257-1950 shall to be used.
    12. Report the results with desired accuracy of decimal places as indicated in Form-3.
    13. Treat proficiency test items in the same manner as the majority of routinely tested
    samples.
    14. Use calibrated equipment as per Standard requirements.
    15. Store left over quantity of samples safely till the completion of PT round.
    16. All samples are 4.75mm sieve passed.

    shall be used.
    18. Distilled water shall be used in specific gravity & water absorption test.
    19. Specific gravity shall be the Bulk Specific Gravity (Oven Dry Basis) as defined in IS:
    1199-1959.
    20. Please do attach a copy of your “NABL Scope in Fine Aggregate” with result sheet. If
    not accredited with NABL, then submit measurement traceability document of
    calibrated equipment in support of results obtained for the particular test parameters.
    21. Form-2 and Form-3 are attached herewith.
