What is BS EN 933-1 - Particle size distribution of aggregates by sieving method about?
BS EN 933 is a European Standard on tests for geometrical properties of aggregates. The main aim of the BS EN 933 series is to provide the best industry guidance to ensure construction materials contribute to the structural integrity of civil engineering works.
BS EN 933-1 is the first part of the BS EN 933 series that describes the reference washing and dry sieving method used for type testing and in case of dispute, for determination of the particle size distribution of aggregates.
For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used, provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established.
BS EN 933-1 applies to all aggregates, including lightweight aggregates, up to 90 mm nominal size, but excluding filler.
