Aggregates are measured in liters ?

Aggregate & water are measured in litre But other ingredient ?

How measure the aggregate in litres?

Ajay said:   1 decade ago
Aggregates are only measured by volume and by weight and water by litre or volume and cement is always measured by weight. Commonly the aggregates are measured by volume but in imp st. The aggregate is measured by weight. Because aggregate is bulkable.

Aggregates are measured by weight not in litres.

How can you measure aggregate in liter?

Sujeet said:   8 years ago
In this type of question we need to go by options. Here options A, C and D are for sure correct but we don't have option to choose correct one. As far as aggregate measurement is concern it can be measured in terms volume by using farma.

But generally we avoid volume batching because of difference in mass in wet and dry condition of aggregate.

So, final ans-all of above.

How it is possible to measure aggregates in litres?

Arjun said:   8 years ago
I think 1000ltr equal 1cubic meter and aggregate is measured in the cubic meter so all the answer should correct.

I think so aggregate & water also while taking weight basis only since water density is 1000liter/cum but we cannot be defined exactly density of aggregate know since.
