The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) performs ASTM C29 testing to determine aggregate bulk density and void content. This standard specifies procedures for measuring the volume occupied by aggregate in loose or compacted states. The results support aggregate evaluation and concrete mixture proportioning. We offer ASTM C29 testing for aggregate producers, engineers, contractors, and other construction professionals seeking reliable material data.
What Does ASTM C29 Testing Measure?
ASTM C29 testing measures aggregate bulk density and the percentage of voids between particles. Technicians determine unit weight under loose or compacted conditions as specified by the procedure. The test provides insight into aggregate packing and particle distribution, and results are influenced by particle size, shape, surface texture, and gradation. ASTM C29 data supports aggregate evaluation, concrete mixture development, and material consistency monitoring.
About Our ASTM C29 Testing Capabilities
Our ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab is equipped to perform ASTM C29 testing according to relevant procedures and project requirements. We offer loose and compacted bulk-density testing, unit-weight determination, and void-content calculation for appropriate aggregate materials. Our technicians follow strict protocols for sample preparation, testing, measurement, calculation, and reporting. We maintain documented quality-control practices and calibrated equipment to ensure reliable results. Our services support aggregate source evaluations, concrete mixture development, quality-control programs, and material acceptance decisions. We provide detailed test reports that clearly document testing conditions, measurements, calculations, and results for engineers, contractors, producers, and project owners.
How Does ASTM C29 Testing Verify Compliance With Project Specifications?
ASTM C29 results help engineers and construction professionals assess aggregate characteristics against project-specific unit-weight and void-content criteria. The standard defines the test method but does not establish universal acceptance values. Evaluation criteria are set by project specifications, engineering requirements, or material standards. ASTM C29 testing supports aggregate source qualification, concrete mixture development, quality-control programs, and documentation of material characteristics. When combined with other aggregate tests, C29 results offer a more comprehensive understanding of material performance and suitability.
