Test on Coarse Aggregate
Coarse Aggregate Testing is required to determine the quality of the material. Doing a simple visual test is inadequate. Aggregate quality is based on gradation, fines content, and plasticity. Select good quality aggregates to improve construction materials and reduce maintenance.
• Gradation of sieve analysis
• Impact value
• Crushing value
• Flakiness and elongation index
• Bulk density test
Test on Fine Aggregate
• Sieve analysis
• Specific gravity
• Bulking of sand
• Bulk density
• Clay lumps
• Silt content
Test on Cement
• Fineness of cement
• Specific gravity and density
• Intial setting time
• Final setting time
• Consistency test
