    Abrasion Value of Aggregate

    Uploaded by

    KCC Buildcon Purnea Lab
    This document summarizes the procedure for determining the abrasion value of aggregates. It involves using a Los Angeles abrasion testing machine to rotate aggregates in the presence of steel balls for 500-1000 revolutions. The aggregates are then sieved, with the material passing through a 1.7mm sieve weighed. The abrasion value is calculated as the percentage loss of the original sample weight and should not exceed 30% for wearing surfaces or 50% for non-wearing surfaces according to IS 383.

    ABRASION VALUE OF AGGREGATE

    It is resistance of aggregate to wear. It is often considered to know the suitability of


    aggregate is to be made for concretes to be used for wearing surfaces such as floors, road
    pavement, runways etc.

    Use of Los Angeles abrasion testing machine gives better realistic picture of the abrasion
    resistance of the aggregate.

    Object: To find the abrasion value of aggregate.

    References: - Specification as per IS: 383

    Method of test IS: 2386 (Part IV), IS: 2386 (Part I )

    Apparatus:-
    Los Angles abrasion testing machine, IS Sieve of size – 1.7mm, Abrasive charge - cast
    iron or steel spheres approximately 48mm dia. and each weighing between 390 to 445g ,Oven.

    Sample Preparation:-
    The test sample should consist of clean aggregates which has been dried in an oven at 105oC to
    110oC to a substantially constant weight and should conform to one of the grading shown in the
    table below:
    Procedure:-

    1. n
    2. For grading A, B, C and D, the machine shall be rotated for 500 revolutions; for grading
    E, F and G, it shall be rotated for 1000 revolutions.
    3. The machine shall be so driven and so counter-balanced as to maintain a substantially
    uniform peripheral speed. If an angle is used as the shelf, the machine shall be rotated in such a
    direction that the charge is caught on the outside surface of the angle.

    4. At the completion of the test, the material shall be discharged from the machine and a
    preliminary separation of the sample made on a sieve coarser than the l-70-mm IS Sieve. The
    finer portion shall then be sieved on a 1.70-mm IS Sieve in the manner described in 2.3 of Part I
    of this standard.
    No of spheres fixed as per grade given below.

    5. After the revolutions the sample shall be sieved through 1.7 mm sieve and coarser material
    shall be washed & oven dried at 105 to 110°c and weight is taken (A).
    Observation Table :

    A Total weight taken in mould in ‘gm’ = A


    B Weight of material retained on IS sieve 1.7 mm in ‘gm’ = B
    C Weight of material passing through IS sieve 1.7 mm in ‘gm’ C = =A – B
    D Weight of material passing Abrasion % = C/A X100 =

    Calculation:-

    5000− A
    ABRASION VALUE=
    5000

    Acceptance Criteria:-
    As per IS 383 Abrasion value shall not be more than 30 % for wearing surfaces &shall
    not be more than 50 % non -wearing surfaces.
