    Testing Equipment

    SAND, AGGREGATES & FILLERS


    Sampling, Physical Properties Sampling
    Ref. Standards : BS 1377, 1924, 812, EN 932-1 For rapid collection of true representative sample from aggregates, sand and fillers, sample divider is required. Riffle Sample Divider : Consists of a metal box, fitted with a series of chutes of equal width, which discharge the material alternatively in opposite directions into separate pans. The chutes of the riffle are steep enough to allow rapid flowing of the material. Supplied complete with three containers. We offer both Thickness Gauge & Length Gauge for determination of flakiness & elongation.

    Determination of Flakiness & Elongation


    Ref. Standards : BS 812 Aggregates which are flaky and/or elongated will often lower the work ability of a concrete mix and may also affect long term durability . In bituminious mixtures, flaky aggregates make for a harsh mix and may also crack and break up during compacting by rolling. The flakiness of aggregate is determined by measuring the thickness of individual particles. Tinius offers thickness gauge and length gauge to check flakiness index and elongation index of the aggregate respectively.

    Mechanical Properties of Aggregates


    Crushing Value :
    Ref. Standards : BS 812-110, 111 The selection of proper aggregate for a given application is essential to attain the desired quality. Various characteristics required to be determined for the selection of appropriate aggregate from the wide range are available. The following mechanical tests are designed to meet this requirement.

    Ref. Standards : BS 312, ASTM C29, C138 Angularity : The angularity or absence of rounding of the particle of an aggregate is a property which is of importance, because it effects the ease of handling of a mixture of aggregate and binder, for example, the work ability of concrete, or the stability of mixtures that depends on the interlocking of the particles. The bulk density and voids in between aggregates can be ascertained using the following equipment :

    Particle Size Analysis Sieve Analysis
    Ref. Standards : ASTM D422, AASHTO T88 The analysis of soil by particle size provides a useful engineering classification system from which a considerable amount of empirical data can be obtained. This helps in ascertaining possible frost action, determining graded filters, selection of grouting materials, designing of cement and asphaltic concrete mixes etc. Two different procedures are used for coarse and fine soils. Sieving is used for gravel as well as sand size particles and sedimentation procedures are used for finer soils. For soils containing coarse and fine soil particles, it is usual to employ both sieving and sedimentation procedures. We provide the following range of equipment for performing particle size analysis: Sieves, GI Frame of 45 cm diameter Sieves, GI Frame of 30 cm diameter
