ESE-312-Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus

The Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus is a testing device used to determine the crushing strength of aggregates, which is a key factor in evaluating the quality of construction materials like concrete. This test measures the resistance of an aggregate to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load. The results of the Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) test are essential in understanding the suitability of aggregates for use in various construction projects, particularly in high-load bearing applications such as roads, pavements, and other infrastructure.

This apparatus is commonly used in civil engineering and material testing laboratories to ensure that aggregates meet the necessary standards for strength and durability before they are used in construction projects.

Key Features:

1. High Precision and Accuracy: The Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus provides precise measurements of the crushing strength of aggregates, helping ensure the quality of construction materials.
2. Simple Operation: The apparatus is designed for ease of use, with a straightforward procedure that involves placing a sample in a cylindrical container, applying a compressive load, and measuring the resulting crushing value.
3. Durable Construction: Made from high-quality materials like stainless steel or alloy, the apparatus is built to last and withstand the stresses of frequent testing.
4. Capacity for Large Samples: The apparatus is designed to handle large quantities of aggregate, making it suitable for both small-scale and industrial testing applications.
5. Consistent Test Results: The apparatus ensures that consistent pressure is applied to the sample, allowing for reproducible results across multiple tests.
6. Standardized Testing Equipment: The apparatus adheres to industry standards, including those set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and ASTM, ensuring that test results are reliable and comparable across different laboratories and testing scenarios.
