Aggregate and Rock

	Grid Sieves Standards: EN 933-1, EN 933-3 Grid Sieves are used to determine the flakiness index of the aggregates. Made of electrostatic steel frame and 5 mm diameter stainless steel parallel bars.
	Flakiness Sieves Standards: BS 812 Flakiness Sieves are used to determine particle size shape or geometrical characteristics of the aggregates. Each sieve made from heavy gauge steel sheets in dimensions specified in the standards and coated with electrostatic paint.
	Flakiness Gauge Flakiness Gauge is used to determine if aggregate particles are to be considered flaky, i.e. their thickness is less than 0.6 of their nominal size.
	Length Gauge Standards: BS 812 Length Gauge classifies aggregate elongation by measuring the length of individual particles. Aggregate particles are considered elongated when their length is more than 1.8 of their nominal size. Length Gauge test is not applicable to material retained on 63.0 mm BS test sieve.
	Shape Index Gauge Standards: EN 933-4 Shape Index Gauge is used to determine the shape factor of individual aggregates by comparing the ration of length to width.
	Particle Density (specific gravity) and Water Absorption Sand Absorption Cone and Tamping Rod The Sand Absorption Cone and Tamping Rod are used to determine the specific gravity and absorption of fine aggregates smaller than 20 mm. The Apparatus is manufactured from plated steel for protection against corrosion.
	Specific Gravity Frame and Buoyancy Balance Standards: BS 812, ASTM C127, AASHTO T85, EN 1097-6, 12697-6, EN 12390-7 This method is used to determine the aggregates specific gravity. The robust frame is designed to support the buoyancy balance. The lower part of the frame incorporates a moving platform, which carries the water tank allowing the test specimens to be weighed in both air and water.
	Bulk Density Measures Standards: BS 812-2, 3797, EN 1097-3, 12350-6, ASTM C138, C29 The Bulk Density Measures are used to determine the loose bulk density and voids of aggregates. They are made from heavy steel gauge and specially coated against corrosion.
	Digital Point Load Apparatus The point load tester is used to measure rock strength in the field or laboratory. A load frame, hydraulic jack and digital display are mounted on the base of a carrying case. With this point load tester, samples up to 4" (101.6mm) diameter can be tested on 2 conical points. A graduated scale indicates distance between conical points and is also used to measure specimen diameter. Applied load is digitally displayed to 0.001kN; accuracy is ±1%; range is 0 to 56kN. Display shows maximum load and will also read in lb and tons.
	Los Angeles Abrasion Machine Standards: EN 1097-2, ASTM C131, C535 Los Angeles Abrasion Machine is used for determination of aggregates resistance to fragmentation. The machine consists of an electronic control unit and a rolled steel drum having an inside diameter of 711 mm and internal length 508 mm. The drum is rotated at a speed of between 31 and 33 r.p.m. The internal shelf is provided with the machine is conforming to ASTM and EN standards. The machine is equipped with automatic counter, which allows stopping when the preset number of revolutions is completed. There is a steel tray supplied with machine for easy discharge of specimen. Safety Cabinet model are installed with electronic control unit and electric safety device which automatically stops the rotation of the drum when the door is opened, conforming to CE directives.
	Aggregate Crushing Value and Ten Percent Fines Value (ACV / TFV) Standards: BS 812-110, 111 Aggregate crushing value provides a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load. Ten Percent Fines Value used for testing aggregate smaller than 10 mm. Comprises: 150 mm or 75mm diameter steel cylinder, plunger, base plate, tamping rod and metal measure. All parts are powder coated or galvanized.
	Aggregate Impact Value (AIV) Standards: BS 812-112 The Aggregate Impact Value machine has been developed for determining the impact value of aggregates. Manufactured from plated steel against corrosion, a counter fitted to the machine automatically records the number of blows delivered to the sample. The AIV is supplied complete with 75 mm diameter x 50 mm deep cylindrical measure and steel tamping rod.
	Micro-Deval Testing Machine Standards: EN 1097-1 The Micro Deval Testing Machine used to determine the resistance of wear for 25-50mm size aggregates. The machine consists of a steel frame, four stainless steel cylinders, and 25kg of 10 mm diameter stainless steel spheres. Fitted with an automatic digital counter that allows the machine to stop automatically at preset number of revolutions. Stainless steel Ø200 x 154 drums rotates at speed of 100 (±5) r.p.m.
	Abrasion Testing Machine Standards: EN 1341, 1342, 1343 Abrasion Testing Machine is designed to determine the resistance to abrasion / wear of natural stones and concrete products. The abrasion wheel is 70 mm thick and rotates with speed of 75 r.p.m. The machine is equipped with digital counter which stops the rotation at the preset number of revolutions.
	Skid Resistance and Friction Tester (Skid Tester) Standards: EN 1097-8, ASTM E103, BS 812:144 The Skid Tester is used for measuring the surface friction properties, it is suitable for both site and laboratory applications and for Polished Stone Value tests using curved specimens from accelerated polishing tests. Skid Tester features: Easy and reliable height adjusting system New low friction release mechanism of the pendulum arm for better accuracy. Slider lifting system integrated in the pendulum foot,which guarantees reliable adjustment operations Supplied complete with additional scale for tests on polished stone value specimens and 6 rubber sliders for site usage.
	Accelerated Polishing Machine Standards: EN 1097-8, EN 1341, 1342, 1343 The Accelerated Polishing Machine is used to measure the resistance of road stone to the polishing action of vehicle tires on a road surface. The machine consists of road wheel rotating in the speed of between 315 and 325 r.p.m. The machine is supplied complete with road wheel, side plate, rubber rings, abrasive feed mechanism, corn emery, flour emery, set of 4 specimen mould and 2 mould plates.
