EVS-EN 933-6:2022

This document specifies the reference method used for type testing, and in case of dispute, for
determining the flow coefficient of coarse and fine aggregates. Other methods can be used for other
purposes, such as factory production control, provided that an appropriate working relationship with
the reference method has been established. Examples of advanced test methods can be found in the
Bibliography.
This document applies to coarse aggregate of sizes between 4 mm and 20 mm and to fine aggregate of
size up to 2 mm. It does not apply to lightweight aggregates.
NOTE 1 For coarse aggregates between 4 mm and 20 mm, the flow coefficient is linked with the percentage of
crushed or broken surfaces of an aggregate and can therefore be used in association with the method specified in
EN 933–5. Shape and surface texture characteristics also influence the result.
NOTE 2 Experience of this test has been generally limited to natural aggregates.
Examples of test data sheets are given in informative Annexes A and C.
Annex B (informative) contains precision data.
