Mar 16, 2020· Stockpile sampling. Perhaps the most common manual sampling method for aggregates is stockpile sampling. There are different approaches to collecting a sample in this fashion, but all methods exhibit the same issues to some degree or another. Stockpile sampling methods involve collecting material directly from the product pile. 1.
The CML shall sample a representative quantity of aggregate from a stockpile at the quarry. Enough material shall be obtained so a split sample remains (untested) for subsequent examination and testing by ODOT if deemed necessary. A copy of the test report shall be submitted by the CML directly to the office of the Materials Division Engineer.

When sampling aggregate base material, the sample is obtained from a stockpile, conveyor belt, or any other location approved by the Department according to established procedures and taken to the laboratory. When sampling aggregate base material, follow the sampling procedures listed in Exhibit C.
Ideally, any sample taken from any area of the stockpile should contain a representative sampling of the complete range of sizes. Degradation. The breaking apart of the aggregate particles.
"5.9. Sampling from a Stockpile of Fine Aggregate Using a Sampling Tube (Alternate Method) Samples should be taken at random locations in the stockpile: three in the lower third, two in the middle, and one just below the upper third. (See Note 3) Overlying material on the sampling area should be cleared. The sampling personnel should

STOCKPILE SAMPLING Coarse Aggregate Stockpiles Coarse aggregates are recommended to be sampled using ITM 207. A summary of the procedure includes the following: 1) Locate the area of the stockpile from which hauling will begin. 2) Using a front-end loader, dig into the stockpile and set aside a small pile of 10 to 15 t of material. This should be done in the same manner as if a truck is being ...
SAMPLING OF AGGREGATE MATERIALS 1. SCOPE 1.1 The purpose of these guidelines is to outline procedures and requirements for sampling of granular, coarse, and fine aggregate materials for quality assurance testing. 2.

Aggregate Sampling from Stockpile Aggregate Sampling from Stockpile. Using a front end-loader, dig into the stockpile and set aside small pile of 10 to 15 ton of material. When forming the small pile, the loader bucket must be kept as low as possible and roll the material from the bucket rather than dumping the material.
during sampling. 3.2.3.4 Do not use the aggregate on the surface of the stockpile as a part of the sample. 3.2.3.5 In each instance, dig a small trench or hole into the pile approximately 1 ft. deep and take the sample from the innermost part of the hole. 3.2.3.6 Take samples from these 3 points at several places around the stockpile and combine
4.3.3 Sampling from Stockpiles or Transportation Units— Avoid sampling coarse aggregate or mixed coarse and fine aggregate from stockpiles or transportation units whenever possible, particularly when the sampling is done for the purpose of determining aggregate properties that may be dependent upon the grading of the sample. If circumstances

Calculating Stockpile Capacity: Once the minimum storage capacities which will assure maximum mill output are known, the appropriate stockpile configuration must be determined. Stockpiles fall into two general categories: conical and elongated. Conical Stockpiles The conical stockpile is the simplest and easiest to analyze. The total stockpile capacity is given by: 3.14 (Tan A)R³ D/3000 ...
Sampling fine aggregate from a stockpile is somewhat simpler since it has a lower tendency to segregate: Insert sampling shovel at base and move vertically to obtain sample. These three steps are repeated at select points around the pile. A second method of sampling fine aggregate involves using a sampling tube. The tube, which is about 1 ¼ in ...
the finished product conveyor belt or stockpile. Obtaining samples from the belt discharge is acceptable if the full production stream can be obtained with sufficient rapidity and safety. Production samples are taken during aggregate crushing and stockpile operations and can only be conducted or witnessed by HTCP certified QC personal.
Coarse aggregate samples must be representative of the aggregate and should be obtained as described in ASTM D75 or AASHTO T 2. After samples are collected from a stockpile, conveyor belt, bin, or other sources, it's time to prepare the specimens for splitting procedures.
