ACI Aggregate Testing Technician Level 1 – Exam
Questions and Verified ASTM Standard Answers
Description: This document provides verified exam questions and answers for the
ACI Aggregate Testing Technician Level 1 certification. It covers ASTM testing
procedures including aggregate sampling, sample reduction, sieve analysis, specific
gravity, and moisture content determination. The material also explains fine vs.
coarse aggregate handling and test accuracy requirements, making it highly
valuable for candidates preparing for certification.
During this test method, water-soluble materials, clay particles, and incidental
aggregate particles are removed from the aggregate. True or False? -
answer✔✔True Of the two possible test procedures, Procedure A is to be used
