D75 also allows the use of sampling tubes to sample a stockpile at random locations. Carefully collect the entire contents of each shovel or scoop full into an appropriate container. Conveyor Belts- Conveyor belts are often considered the best source for representative sampling during aggregate production.
Ideally, any sample taken from any area of the stockpile should contain a representative sampling of the complete range of sizes. Degradation. The breaking apart of the aggregate particles.
Batching Samples • Fractionate each aggregate to No. 8 sieve –Recommended by Asphalt Institute. We do not like this method due to potential for fines to segregate • Fractionate each aggregate to No. 200 –If stockpile aggregates do not match what quarry expects to

Option A: With large sample sizes of ROM material, crushing then splitting is the best option (if available). Option B might be to "cone and quarter" with a loader / IT then crush and split further. Option C: get the material on a belt and use a good sampling system Option D: grab a few rocks and pretend you know the grade of the stockpile.

When sampling aggregate base material, the sample is obtained from a stockpile, conveyor belt, or any other location approved by the Department according to established procedures and taken to the laboratory. When sampling aggregate base material, follow the sampling procedures listed in Exhibit C.
Sampling fine aggregate from a stockpile is somewhat simpler since it has a lower tendency to segregate: Insert sampling shovel at base and move vertically to obtain sample. These three steps are repeated at select points around the pile. A second method of sampling fine aggregate involves using a sampling tube. The tube, which is about 1 ¼ in ...
Fine aggregate may be sampled with a sampling tube approximately 1 ¼ inches (30 mm) in diameter and 6 feet (1.8 meters) in length. Or if sampling a stockpile of sand, or ! ne aggregate, it is usually necessary to remove the dry layers where the segregation occurs and sample the damp material below. !
The objective of this document is to guide sampling personnel in a simple step-by-step manner to establish the most appropriate sampling method to be adopted in a variety of situations.

Collect a representative aggregate sample from the stockpile in accordance with ASTM D75, “Standard Practice for Sampling Aggregates.” The minimum aggregate sample weight needed for the test depends on the nominal maximum size aggregate of the aggregate being tested.
Stockpile sampling. Perhaps the most common manual sampling method for aggregates is stockpile sampling. There are different approaches to collecting a sample in this fashion, but all methods exhibit the same issues to some degree or another. Stockpile sampling methods involve collecting material directly from the product pile. 1. Safety Issues

Feb 28, 2020 Aggregates can be sampled during production, or from stockpiles. Production sampling most commonly takes samples directly from conveyor belts moving the material from place to place. At least three samples are taken from the moving belt in order to get an accurate cross-section of the material being used.

Adding aggregate to an existing stockpile requires the Engineer’s approval and subsequent QC and QA testing after the aggregate is added and blended into the stockpile. The Regional Materials Engineer and Engineer should discuss who will take the Department’s QA samples from the aggregate stockpile for gradation and friction testing.
