The Standard deals with gravel obtained from crushed boulder and pebbles. Its use is controlled by active standards (SN and P), and by the "Conclusions on conducting planned-and-preventive maintenance of the upper track structure, earthen roadbed, and artificial structures of USSR Railroads". The number of grains in the mass should not be less than 70% of the total. Depending on the indexes of mechanical strength, obtained in tests on the braker PM, gravel is classified as U-75; U-50; and U-40. According to indexes obtained in abrasion tests in a ball mill, gravel is classified as I-15; I-30; and I-40. Water absorption should not exceed 1.5% of dry gravel mass. The crushed stone should not contain any clay, vegetal layers, nor other impurities. Rules of acceptance, and testing methods are described. Transportation and storing of gravel are specified.
