Aggregate Testing Equipment

Aggregates are fundamental materials that are used in all areas of construction industry such as concrete, mortars, bituminous mixtures, surface treatments for roads, airfields and other trafficked areas, railway ballast, unbound and hydraulic bound mixtures in civil engineering works and road constructions, which comprise our modern world as buildings, highways, dams, railways etc. Thus it is crucial to determine the properties of aggregates according to related EN, ASTM, AASTHO, BS standards.

In the aggregate section, Testing Equipment is basically grouped in four main headings according to EN standards:

• General and Geometrical Properties of Aggregates
• Mechanical and Physical Properties of Aggregates
• Thermal and Weathering Properties of Aggregates
• Chemical Properties of Aggregates
