Filler Compaction Apparatus

General Features:
Filler Compaction Apparatus is used for the determination of the voids content of dry compacted filler.

The apparatus consists of three parts:

• cylinder having inside diameter 25.4 mm;
• plunger freely sliding into the cylinder with max. lateral play of 0.20 ± 0.05 mm;
• four columns and metallic base holding the whole, size 100×150 mm.

To perform the test a measuring device (vernier caliper with 0.01 mm accuracy) and 25 mm dia. Filter Paper are required and should be ordered separately.

It can be fit with a Blow Counter Kit, should be ordered separately.

Fine Aggregate Angularity Apparatus

General Features:
Fine Aggregate Angularity Apparatus is used to determine the uncompacted void content of a fine aggregate to determine angularity and sphericity properties that affect the workability of mixed designs.

Supplied complete with Funnel with specified hopper, Funnel Stand, 100ml Copper Cylindrical Measure and a Glass Plate for calibration.

Flexible Spatula, Round Brush and Stainless Steel Pan should be ordered separately.

Standards:
ASTM C1252, AASHTO T304

Coarse Aggregate Angularity Apparatus

General Features:
Coarse Aggregate Angularity Apparatus measures the uncompacted void content of coarse aggregate. The testing apparatus is recommended to evaluate aggregates for Hot-Mix Asphalt (HMA) pavement. Gradation and void content data provide an indication of angularity, sphericity, and surface texture that can be related to permanent deformation and fatigue cracking of asphalt.
Aggregate is allowed to free fall from the hopper into a cylindrical measure. Excess heaped aggregate is struck off using the included bar, the mass is measured, and void content is computed. The hopper, stand, and measure is stainless steel and a locator pin and circle on the bottom plate of the stand make it easy to center the measure below the hopper.
Coarse Aggregate Angularity Apparatus consist of Stainless Steel Measure, Strike-off Bar and Glass Plate for calibration.

Steel Material Handling Pan should be ordered separately.

Standards:

Specific Gravity Frame (Bouyancy Balance System)

General Features:

Used in conjunction with a suitable electronic balance for specific gravity determination of fresh and hardened concrete and aggregates. To be used with a suitable electronic balance fitted with an under –hook facility. 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. The balance is not included in the test set and must be ordered separately. Any type of electronic balance fitted with under-bench weighing facility can be used.

Abrasion Bohme Tester

General Features:

The instrument measures a volume loss in a specimen under abrasion test and it’s used in tests such as: – paving stones – concrete slabs – slabs made of natural rocks – natural stone slabs.

The apparatus is basically composed of cast iron horizontal disc with a speed of 30 ± 1 rpm and a diameter of 750mm furnished of a 200mm test track to position a specimen.

Control panel with digital revolutions counter with automatic stop after 22 rotations. Abrasive Sand is must be ordered separately.

Abrasion Tester For Natural Stones And Concrete

General Features:
Abrasion Tester used to determine the resistance to abrasion and wear of natural stones and concrete products by measuring the length of a groove produced on the specimen surface by disc with thickness of 70 mm that rotates at controlled speed and makes a constant pressure on the specimen. A charge of abrasive material must be interposed between the disc and the specimen. The abrasion wheel rotates at a speed of 75 rpm. The machine is equipped with digital counter which stops machine at the preset number of revolutions.

The abrasive corundum sand and calibration (Boulonnaise) marble are optional.
