A. OBJECTIVE Determine the levels of organic matter in fine aggregate by observing the color of the liquid above the surface of fine aggregate in Translucent glass bottles and compare it with a solution of contrast (standar color number).

B. INTRODUCTION The organic essence generally is the part of animals and plants with it main component is carbon, protein, and fat. This material is very easy to rotteness by bacteria and oxigen that disolved in water. Fine aggregate is fine rock material which consist of granule. It is 0.14 5 mm in size. It is from natural rock desintegration, natural sand, and artificial sand. It is used to mixture material for space and concerete. So, fine aggregate have to analyse accurately. Things to do to analyse fine aggregate is: 1. The fine aggregate contains sharp granule and hard, the granule of the aggregate is eternal, it is not broken by influence of wheather as hot sun and rain. 2. Fine aggregate is not contains mud more than 5%. If the contains mud is more than 5% it must in washing, especially find aggregate for making concrete. (mud is the parts that get past the 0.063 mm) 3. Fine aggregate is not contains much organic essence in prove by experiment color from Abrams-Harder. 4. Fine aggregate is not come from sea

C. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND As one component concrete, the fine aggregate used must meet certain conditions one of them is that no grit can containing numerous organic matter. Organic materials like a vestige of plants and humus generally many mixed the sand nature. The organic materials this negative effects in the cement. The organic substances contained in fine aggregate is generally derived from the destruction of plant substances, especially in the form of humus and mud organk. The harmful organic matter such as sugar, oil and grease. Sugar can inhibit the binding of cement and concrete strength development, while oils and fats can reduce the connective power of cement. Therefore the testing required to determine whether the gregat can aggregate used in the concrete mix manufacture. One way to test the organic substances in the fine aggregate is by means of calories meters. On the measurement of organic substances, the calorimeter is neutralized with a solution of 3% NaOH and colors that occur in comparison with standard color once silenced for 24 hours. Adjust the color of a solution of which is seen in a Translucent glass bottles with colors wich contained on the table of the color of a standard : 1-2 to low levels of mud 3 to normal levels of mud 4-5 to high levels of mud (The bigger number color it is getting old )

According to this method SNI to test color, when color test results lies in no3 adn no2 can then be used to concrete normal, if situated at no1 can be used to concrete quality high.

D. EQUIPMENT 1. Cales with accuracy of 0.01 weight sample, which has a maximum capacity of 311 grams. 2. Translucent glass bottles with cork or rubber cover or other cover materials that do not react to NaOH. 3. Measuring cup 200 ml capacity with an accuracy of 1 ml 4. Standard color number

5. Gloves of rubber 6. Glass bowls to make NaOH 3% 7. 7. Stalk stirrer or spatula made of glass.

E. OBJECT TEST 1. Specimens of natural sand to be used as a mixture of mortar or concrete with 130ml volume 2. 3% NaOH solution composition is NaOH = 3gram and distilled water = 97 grams.

F. PROCEDURE 1. Create NaOH solution with the following procedures : a. scales make up the pointer in a state of zero b. weigh and record the weight of the bowl for mixing NaOH (W1) c. NaOH input into bowls and bowls Weigh + NaOH (W2). Where W1 + W2 = weight of 3 grams (weight NaOH) d. Provide as much as 97 ml of distilled water e. Input NaOH and distilled water mixture into a bowl and stir until completely dissolved NaOH 2. Examples of test objects (sand) is inserted into the bottle as much as 130ml measures 3. Add 3% NaOH solution, the bottle is closed and shaken gently, then add the solution to reach a volume of 200ml after shaken. 4. Measuring bottle closed tightly with a lid and measuring cup whipped back for 20 minutes 5. Put the bottle in place flat and let stand for 24 hours 6. After 24 hours, compare the color of the sand in a bottle + NaOH and color measurement standards, whether older or younger. When the color of the solution sands older than standard colors, then it is likely to contain organic materials that are not allowed to mix mortar or concrete materials 7. Finishing : a. Shake the bottle, remove the existing sand, clean with a bottle brush and soap, rinse thoroughly, after a net return to the place originally b. Clean workplace.

G. RESULT OF TESTING The colour of aquades as same as the third number of organic plate.

H. CONCLUSION The colour of aquades as same as the third number of organic plate. It is mean that organic essence in fine agggregate is little. So, This sand may in used to concrete and space mixture.
