Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus

An important instrument in construction projects, an aggregate crushing value apparatus fulfills many purposes. It is highly demanded because of its precise & effective working.
This equipment is used to determine crushing properties of aggregates. The aggregate crushing value indicates the ability of an aggregate to resist crushing. The lower the value, the stronger the aggregate, that is the greater is its ability to resist crushing.

 

Salient Features

The important features of aggregate crushing value apparatus are :
The equipment consists of a steel cylinder of 150 mm diameter.
Provided with a base plate, a plunger handle and a tamping rod.
One end of the tamping rod is rounded.

 

Applications

The aggregate crushing value provides a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load. The important application area of the equipment are :
