Foreword
This British Standard has been prepared under the authority of the Road
Engineering Standards Committee and is a revision as one standard in two Parts
of the two standards BS 63-2:19711) and BS 1984:19672) both of which are now
withdrawn. For ease of use the number BS 63 is being retained. BS 63-1:19511) is
withdrawn.
The two Parts are:
Part 1: Specification for single-sized aggregate for general purposes;
Part 2: Specification for single-sized aggregate for surface dressing.
Particle size distribution is presented as a continuous grading with specified
limits on percentages of material passing selected sieve sizes in order to unify the
specification of aggregates with other British Standards, e.g. BS 594 and
BS 4987.
Requirements for aggregate soundness and the determination of the clay content
of fine aggregates are not included in this revision because suitable test methods
are not available, though the sedimentation test described in BS 812-1 may offer
some guidance in terms of particle size distribution.
Reference should be made to BS 812-101 for general guidance on testing
aggregates, precision of test methods and variance arising from sampling errors.
For lightly trafficked roads some authorities may consider aggregates in
accordance with BS 63-1 to be adequate for use as surface dressing; production of
surface dressing aggregates will usually involve washing of the aggregate after
screening.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.

1 Scope
This Part of BS 63 specifies grading, flakiness index
and strength for nominally single-sized aggregates,
i.e. aggregates containing a major proportion of
single-sized particles, for use in surface dressing.
