THE POLISHED-STONE VALUE /1965/' RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE TEST

THE BRITISH STANDARD BS 812'1960 OF METHODS FOR SAMPLING AND TESTING OF MINERAL AGGREGATES, SANDS AND FILLERS, COVERS THE TEST FOR MEASURING THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF ROADSTONES TO POLISHING BY TRAFFIC. A REVISED TEST PROCEDURE WAS PUBLISHED IN MARCH 1965 AS AN AMENDMENT WHICH INCORPORATED MODIFICATIONS BASED ON THE FINDINGS OF A PANEL CONSISTING OF REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE FIVE LABORATORIES WITH THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE OF THE TEST TO INVESTIGATE FACTORS AFFECTING THE REPRODUCTIBILITY OF THE RESULTS. THIS PAPER DISCUSSES THE INVESTIGATIONS AND SUMMARIZES THE AVAILABLE EVIDENCE FOR SPECIFYING MINIMUM POLISHED-STONE VALUES FOR THE SELECTION OF AGGREGATES.
