1. This Indian Standard (Part II) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 22 August 1963, after the draft finalized by the Cement and Concrete Sectional Committee had been approved by the
   Building Division Council.
2. One of the major contributing factors to the quality of concrete is the
   quality of aggregates used therein. The test methods given in this
   standard are intended to assist in assessing the quality of aggregates.
   In a given situation, for a particular aggregate, it may not be necessary
   to assess all the qualities and therefore it is necessary to determine beforehand the purpose for which a concrete: is being used and the qualities
   of the aggregate which require to be assessed. Accordingly, the relevant
   test methods may be chosen from amongst the various tests covered in
   this standard. For the convenience of the users the test methods are
   ~roupcd into the following eight parts of Indian Standard Methods of
   Test for Aggregates for Concrete ( IS : 2386-1963 ):

• Part I Particle Size and Shape
• Part II Estimation of Deleterious Materials and Organic
• Part III Impurities
• Part IV Specific Gravity, Density, Voids, Absorption and Bulking
• Part V Mechanical Properties
• Part VI Soundness
• Part VII Measuring Mortar Making Properties of Fine Aggregate
• Part VIII Alkali Aggregate Reactivity Petrographic Examination
