sampling of aggregates

Sampling of aggregates involves selecting a small, representative portion of materials like gravel or crushed stone from a larger batch. This sample is tested to assess properties such as size distribution, cleanliness, and strength, ensuring the whole batch meets quality standards. Proper sampling methods are essential to obtain accurate results, which help prevent problems in construction projects. By analyzing these samples, engineers can verify that the aggregates used will perform well in building foundations, roads, or structures.
