Bulk Density, Voids and Bulking

The angularity or absence of rounding of the particle of an aggregate
is a property which is of importance, because it effects the ease of
handling of a mixture of aggregate and binder, for example, the
workability of concrete, or the stability of mixtures that depends on
the interlocking of the particles. The bulk density and voids in
between aggregates can be ascertained using the following
equipment :
