GOST 8267-93 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 8267-93 — "Crushed stone and gravel of solid rocks for construction works. Specifications" (Russian: "Щебень и гравий из плотных горных пород для строительных работ. Технические условия"). The standard establishes technical requirements, acceptance rules, methods of control, and provisions for transportation and storage for crushed stone and gravel produced from dense rock intended for construction use.

Abstract

This interstate (GOST) standard (designation 8267-93, year 1993) sets quality, dimensional (fraction) and material requirements for crushed stone and gravel used as mineral aggregate in concrete, asphalt, road and railway works, and other construction applications. It includes limits for harmful components, testing and sampling procedures, acceptance rules, and handling and storage guidance. The standard was introduced into force in the mid‑1990s and has received subsequent amendments.

General information

• Status: Acting / in force in national and interstate repositories (adopted as an interstate GOST and used by national standards bodies).
• Publication date: Designation year 1993; introduced into force from 1 January 1995 (official enactment and national registrations vary by country).
• Publisher: Interstate standard (GOST) — originally prepared and published under the GOST system and adopted by national standards bodies (successor organizations such as Gosstandart / EASC / national registries).
• ICS / categories: Construction materials; ICS classification reported as 91.100.15 (construction materials; mineral products).
• Edition / version: GOST 8267-93 (1993 edition); implemented with amendments during 1998–2009 (amendment notes appear in registry entries).
• Number of pages: Typically listed as 14 pages in available bibliographic records.

Scope

GOST 8267-93 applies to crushed stone and gravel produced from dense (hard) natural rocks intended for use in construction works — including aggregates for heavy concrete, asphalt mixtures, road and railway ballast, drainage layers and bedding. The standard defines classification by fraction sizes, mechanical and physical performance requirements (strength, frost resistance, flakiness/shape), permissible contents of harmful and deleterious components, sampling and laboratory test methods, acceptance procedures, and rules for transportation and storage.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and classification of fractions (common fractions: 5–10 mm, 10–20 mm, 20–40 mm, 40–70 mm, etc.; other fractions by agreement with the consumer).
• Physical and mechanical properties: strength (grade by crushing strength), frost resistance (F‑numbers), bulk density, and limits on flaky (plate-like) and elongated grains (flakiness index / lещадность).
• Limits for harmful components and impurities (examples: soluble amorphous silica, sulfates (SO3), pyrite/pirrotine, chlorides, organic matter, asbestos fibers and other deleterious minerals) with quantitative thresholds for safe use in concrete.
• Requirements for sampling, laboratory testing and methods (references to related test-method standards such as GOST 8269.x series and others).
• Acceptance rules for batches, marking, packing (where applicable), transportation by different modes and storage (separate by fractions to avoid contamination).

Typical use and users

Primary users are producers of crushed stone and gravel (quarries and processing plants), quality laboratories, material suppliers, civil and structural engineers, concrete and asphalt mix designers, road and railway construction contractors, and national/regional authorities responsible for construction materials regulation and procurement. Typical uses include aggregates for heavy and reinforced concrete, asphalt mixes, road base and subbase layers, ballast, drainage and landscaping.

Related standards

GOST 8267-93 is linked to and references several other standards and test-method documents, notably the GOST 8269.x series (methods for testing aggregates), earlier GOSTs that it replaced (for example GOST 8267-82 and GOST 10260-82), and complementary standards for sands and asphaltic mixtures (e.g., GOST 8736-93, GOST 9128‑2013 references). It is often cited by later road and concrete standards when specifying aggregate requirements.
