The aggregate Impact value gives a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate to sudden shock or impact, which in some aggregates differs from its resistance to a slowly applied compressive load. With aggregate of aggregate impact value higher than 30 the result may be anomalous. Also, aggregate sizes ‘larger than 14 mm are not appropriate to the aggregate impact test.

The standard aggregate impact test shall be made on aggregate passing a 14.0 mm BS test sieve and retained on a10.0 mm BS test sieve. If required, or if the standard size is not available, smaller sizes may be tested but owing to the non-homogeneity of aggregates the results are not likely to be the same as those obtained from the standard size. In general, the smaller sizes of aggregates will give a lower-impact value but the relationship between the values obtained with different sizes may vary from one aggregate to another.
