As
aggregates are a major
part of most construction materials, it is important to determine their
particular properties. These tests usually include determination of
particle size and shape, mechanical properties, bulk, compacted and
relative denssities, as well as many other types of analysis.
Aggregate Testing Equipment are used in laboratories and also
for on-site testing purposes. These instruments are widely used for the
determination of the requirement of cold smooth cuts, preparation of
specimen blocks or cores, road classification test, rock strength index,
investigating the permeability of rock at high pressures, aggregate
impact value, polished stone value for aggregates used in road surface,
etc.
Some of the few Aggregate Testing Equipment include :
