4 Principle
The measurement of (lie mass of a test sample pre10Usiy (‘flL%hed to the required grain size, and the determination of its volume by the mercury displacement method with vacuum below 3 000 Pa residual pressure and preferably with a residual pressure of l33 Pa
5 Apparatus
5.1 vruum pyrnomeIe: A vessel as shown in flgure I (incorporating conwal ground glass joint in accordance with ISo 383).

5.7 Sieves, with nominal aperture of 2 mm and 5,6 nun
in accordance with ISO 565.
6 Test samples
6.1 PreparatIon of test samples
The material to be tested shall consist ol fractions or groups of fractions of grains. however, laboratoi samples shall be pr(xluced from these fractions by sieving and commimltion to obtain a grain size of between 2 nun and 5,6 mm
N(fl’E Any doN* or Iouw iwIdrs adhering In the iIni MhO4ild hr n’mod before Lt’!Ang. by wwdung or, with materiak wnsittvr to nwniaurc or humidity by air blowing.
6.2 Number of teNt samples
Thice at least tiuw test samples from the laboratory sample and cany out one detennination of built density on each test sample.
6.3 Mass of test samples
The mass of the test samples depends on the grain size and homogeneity of the material being tested. A mass of 10() g Is recolluflen(led.
NOTE For mhon ngeneoua amI)Ics. the ma nt the te* anipIe may be lncreawd Lo 2(s) g.
Dry the test sample to constant mass in the diying oven maintained at 110 DC ± 5°C, and allow It to cool to ambient temperature in the desiccator. Weigh the test sample to the nearest 0,1 g on the balance. This gives the nass, in grams, of the dried test sample (mp)
7 Procedure
7.1 Measurement of ambient temperature The temperat tire at which the test .s earned out shall be measured before and after the series of sample delentunations.
