Aggregate works as a foundation or base material for the construction of roads and railways. It is used with concrete and asphalt to form a strong foundation of construction work. So, it is very important to check the performances of aggregate and predict the behavior in the construction task. The aggregate testing equipment helps to measure the moisture and the balance of aggregate as a composite material.
All Soillab aggregate testing equipment is according to the laboratory equipment and thus can give all the required results. Aggregate possess different characteristics like crushing, disintegration, and degradation and so equipment helps to check on all such factors. There are many projects where the resistance of aggregate is also very important and so equipment help to give result in resistance to slipping and skidding.
Aggregate performance is affected by the shape, texture, and even size of particles. So, there are sieves and shakers to check the flakiness of these particles used in aggregate. Soillab equipment helps to know the characteristics of aggregate like the density of particles, void along water absorption.
Equipment is designed based on different testing methods like magnesium sulphate immersion method will give results on soundness and durability of aggregate. Impurities in aggregate can lower down the performance and so testing equipment can show the amount of chloride, sulphate, and other such impurities in the aggregate. In all this equipment ae used to increase the performance and quality of aggregate.
