This standard outlines procedures for determining the thermal shock resistance of aggregates. It specifies methods for assessing how aggregates withstand repeated thermal cycling, which simulates real-world conditions they may encounter. The test involves subjecting the material to cycles of heating and cooling to evaluate its durability under thermal stress. The procedures described are designed to ensure consistent and reproducible results. The standard provides detailed guidelines on sample preparation, testing conditions, and evaluation criteria. It is applicable to aggregates used in construction and related industries. The document includes specific requirements for equipment, test parameters, and data interpretation.
