- Simulates real-life mechanical rubbing and surface wear
- Ensures quality control for construction materials
- Supports research and teaching in civil engineering labs
Description
Standards Compliance
-
IS:2386 (Part IV)
Working Principle
The aggregate sample is placed inside a steel test cylinder mounted on a rotating steel disc. A weighted loading arm applies a constant force on the sample. As the disc rotates at a controlled speed, the sample rubs against emery powder, simulating abrasive wear.
After the specified revolutions, the sample is cleaned, dried, and weighed. The percentage weight loss represents the abrasion value.
Key Features
-
Heavy-duty motorized steel disc system
-
Precisely machined loading arm with dead weights
-
Stable, vibration-resistant steel frame
-
Simple operation with low maintenance
-
Designed for long-term laboratory use
