Characteristics of quarry sand
Quarry sand is a natural material that is extracted by open–pit mining in industrial volumes (about 25 billion tons per year) in quarries. One of its features is a large amount of foreign impurities, therefore, after extraction, before being sent for sale, this natural material undergoes additional processing – purification and removal of large particles in accordance with established standards.
The technical characteristics of quarry sand are regulated by GOST 8736-93. These include:
grain size – from fine to coarse fractions (average grain size 1.6 – 2 mm);
grain shape – rounded, angular, mixed;
purity – up to 10% of impurities (clay substances and organic matter) are allowed in the total composition;
color – depends on the deposit and mineral composition (white, yellow, gray, red, brown);
radioactivity – depends on the deposit and indicates the field of application;
humidity is the maximum allowable value of 5-7%;
filtration coefficient – indicates the water transmission capacity, is in the range of 0.5-7 m / day, depending on the grain composition and the presence of clay impurities.
The bulk density of quarry sand according to GOST is 1700-1850 kg/cubic meter. It depends on its qualitative composition (the content of foreign inclusions) and fractional size, and may change with changes in humidity or as a result of mechanical action.
Types of quarry sand
You can order different types of quarry sand for the planned work, which are categorized:
by grain composition – quartz, limestone, dolomite, etc.;
by processing method – seed and alluvial (passed through a sieve or washed by hydraulic engineering).
According to the fractional particle size, quarry sand can be coarse-grained, medium-grained and fine-grained.
Application of quarry sand
Quarry sand is a sought–after natural material that is widely used in:
construction – for the production of concrete and concrete structures, building blocks and bricks, the manufacture of cement and plaster mortars;
In road construction, it is used to improve the properties of asphalt mixtures, arrange "pads" for coating and drainage systems.;
production of glass, porcelain and ceramics as one of the main components;
landscaping – filling and leveling areas, creating embankments, etc.
Quarry sand is used in multi-stage filtration and water purification systems, in the production of modern construction and finishing materials.
How many cubes per ton of quarry sand
Quarry sand is shipped in cubes. How much is in tons depends on the bulk density of the material. Since this indicator ranges from 1300 to 1700 kg/m3, the ratio will be 1 m3 = 1.3-1.7 tons.
