- Los Angeles value
- Flakiness Index
- Degradation Factor – Source Rock and Coarse Aggregate
- Crushed Particles in Coarse aggregate derived from gravel
- Average Least Dimension
- Aggregate Crushing Value
- Materials finer than 75 Microns in aggregates (by washing)
- Particle Shape by Proportional Calliper
- Aggregate Soundness – Evaluation by exposure to sodium sulphate solution
- Weak Particles (including clay lumps, soft and friable particles) in coarse aggregates
- Clay and Fine Silt (settling method)
- Organic Impurities other than sugar
- Particle Density and Water Absorption – Fine / Coarse Aggregates
- Bulk Density of Aggregate (Unit Mass)
