Description

Description

Purpose of the Test

The AIV test measures the resistance of aggregates to sudden impact or shock loads. This is crucial for understanding how aggregates will perform under repeated traffic loads and heavy vehicle movement.

Lower AIV values indicate stronger and more durable aggregates suitable for:

  • Highway roads

  • Airport runways

  • Industrial pavements

Working Principle

A prepared aggregate sample is placed inside a hardened steel cylindrical cup. A standard impact hammer (13.5–14 kg) is dropped freely from a height of 380 mm.

The built-in digital blow counter accurately records each strike. Standard testing involves 15 blows. After testing, the crushed material is sieved and the percentage of fines is used to calculate the Aggregate Impact Value (AIV %).

Included Components

  • Cylindrical Steel Cup

  • Impact Hammer

  • Guide Rod Assembly

  • Digital Blow Counter

  • Heavy Cast-Iron Base Frame

Applications

  • Highway and road material testing

  • Civil engineering laboratories

  • University and research institutions

  • Asphalt and RMC plants

  • Construction QA/QC departments
