The Standard deals with shell rock, consisting of whole and broken shells, used for railroad ballast. Its use is controlled by active standards (SN and P), and by "Conclusions on conducting planned-and-preventive maintenance of the upper track structure, earthen roadbed, and artificial structures of USSR Railroads". Technical specifications provide for the contents of particles of the following dimensions: 0.5 mm - not less than 50%; 0.1 mm - not to exceed 6%; in this not more than 1.5% of clayey particles. These percentages are calculated from different formulae, according to size. The method of calculating the percentage of clayey particles is described. The coefficient of permeability should be not less than 30 mm per 24 hours. If necessary, the control of above calculations is made using the areometric method. Rules of acceptance and testing methods are described, as well as transportation and storing procedures.
