The EN 12697-17 method (Cantabro test) concerns the determination of the particle loss (abrasion) of porous asphalt mixtures and the EN 12697-43 concerns the determination of the resistance of a bituminous mixtures or pavement to aviation fuel. Both procedures involve, within other standard laboratory tests, the abrasion in a Los Angeles tester conforming to EN 1097-2 without steel balls. Furthermore the EN 12697-17 prescribes a chamber or enclosure for the Los Angeles machine as the temperature shall remain constant with an uncertainty of 2°C.
This condition can be easily obtained by the soundproof and security cabinet 48-D0500/CB2 which is however necessary to comply with CE directive.
