[Current]Methods for sampling and testing aggregates, Method 3.1: Sampling — Aggregates
AS 1141.3.1 defines requirements and specifies test methods for: taking samples of coarse and fine aggregates; subdividing samples; and packing and forwarding samples for examination and testing. Limited to aggregate and rock products with a nominal size of 75 mm or less. May be applied to non-stabilized soil product or soil and rock blends, provided that the maximum particle size is less than 75 mm
