The BMRTD conducts various kinds of testing on coarse aggregates. All these tests are carefully analyzed by professionals.
- Grading of coarse aggregate
- Grading of coarse aggregate for above 40 mm size
- Aggregate crushing value (ACV) (10-14mm size)
- Aggregate Impact Value (AIV)
- Flakiness index (F1) / Elongation index (E1)
- Specific gravity, water absorption & moisture content
- 10% fines value (10 -14mm size)
- Moisture content (only)
- Soundness (C/A or F/A) As per BS (10-14mm size)
- Soundness (C/A or F/A) As per ASTM
- Loose bulk density
- Mohs Hardness for coarse aggregate
- Los Angeles Abrasion Value (10-14mm Size)
- shell content for coarse aggregate
- Sample preparation for LAAV and AIV
- Deleterious material (<75 mm + CL friable particles)
