FAQs of Crushing Value Apparatus:

Q: How is the Crushing Value Apparatus used during aggregate testing?

A: To use the apparatus, prepare aggregate samples passing through a 12.5 mm sieve and retained on a 10 mm sieve. Place them in the test cylinder, insert the hardened steel plunger, and apply load using a compression testing machine up to 100 kN. The crushing value is determined by measuring the amount of material crushed.

Q: What standards does the Crushing Value Apparatus comply with?

A: This equipment conforms to IS 2386 (Part 4), BS 812, and ASTM C131, ensuring valid and globally recognized aggregate crushing value results.

Q: Where can the Crushing Value Apparatus be used?

A: The apparatus is suitable for use in laboratories and field sites. Its durable construction and compact dimensions make it easy to transport and ideal for varied testing environments.

Q: What are the main components of this apparatus?

A: Core components include the cylindrical measure, hardened steel plunger, base plate, tamping rod, and test cylinder, all engineered for robust and precise aggregate testing.

Q: What is the process for conducting the aggregate crushing value test?

A: Aggregates are placed in the test cylinder and subjected to a compressive load using the manual apparatus. After loading, the proportion of crushed material is measured to assess aggregate quality and suitability for construction.

Q: What are the benefits of using this apparatus in construction material testing?

A: It provides reliable, repeatable results critical for determining the structural integrity of aggregates, helping users ensure compliance with quality standards for building and road projects.

Q: Does this apparatus require electricity or have automation features?
