ASTM C295

ASTM C295 is a standard developed by ASTM International that outlines procedures for identifying and classifying the mineral constituents of aggregate materials, which are essential in construction. It guides how to analyze samples of stone, gravel, and sand to determine their composition and properties. Understanding these characteristics helps ensure the aggregates are suitable for use in concrete and other construction applications, contributing to the safety and durability of structures. Essentially, it serves as a technical guideline for assessing the quality of materials used in building projects.
