EVS-EN 1367-2:2000

This European Standard specifies a method for assessing how an aggregate behaves when subjected to cyclic action of immersion in magnesium sulfate, followed by oven drying. NOTE: The majority of aggregates can be tested for performance using this method. Precision has been established for the rock types listed in annex A. The test may not be suitable for all rock types and reservations have been expressed elsewhere in respect of some carbonate aggregates and some aggregates having a high proportion of magnesium bearing minerals or of cryptocrystalline quartz.
