ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus for preparing aggregate to be utilized to prepare concrete or mortar is provided herein. The method includes the steps of: loading aggregate in a container; pouring water into the container to a level completely to immerse the appregate therein; weighing aggregate while it is being immersed in the water to determine the volume of the aggregate; discharging the water from the container; and removing water remaining in the interstices of the aggregate, thereby to adjust the aggregate to at least a capillary state. The apparatus comprises the combination of: a container having an aggregate loading opening at the top thereof; means for pouring water into the container; means for weighing aggregate while it is being immersed in the water; means for discharging water from the container; and means for removing water remaining in the interstices of the aggregate. The values of the aggregate measured by the method are used to determine the quantity of water to be added to the aggregate when it is used to prepare con- crete or mortar. With this method and using this apparatus it is possible readily to determine the quantity of water to be added to the aggregate when it is used to prepare concrete or mortar.
