Explanation / Answer

Test: C40 is ok

According to following journal (4.Significance and Use)

http://www.editorbar.com/upload/ReBooks/2012-12/2e329b0d21029a0c55e52f1be10f2830.pdf

4.2 This test method is applicable to those samples which, when tested in accordance with Test Method C40, have produced a supernatant liquid with a color darker than standard color plate No. 3 or color solution

Test:C566 is ok

(9. Precision and Bias)

9.1.1 Therefore, results of two properly conducted tests by the same operator in the same laboratory on the same type of aggregate sample should not differ by more than 0.79 % (Note 2) from each other.

Observe Note 1 and 2

Test:C26 is ok

and observed 15.3 and 15.6

Test:C127 is ok except absorption

Precision estimates are based on aggregates with absorptions of less than 2 percent.

Test:C128 is ok

http://www.cetanz.org.nz/Publications/TR8_Density_and_Absorption_ASTM_C128_Proficiency.pdf

compare to above journal test is ok

Test:C117 is ok

http://www.c-s-h.ir/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/C-117.pdf

Precision estimates are based on aggregates having a nominal maximum size of 19.0 mm (14 in.) with less than 1.5% finer than the 75-µm (No. 200) sieve.

Precision estimates are based on fine aggregates having 1.0 to 3.0% finer than the 75-µm (No. 200) sieve

Test:C138 is ok
