LA Abrasion Charge Balls (12-Pack)
Essential for accurate aggregate quality assessment, these LA Abrasion Charge Balls are specifically designed for use with the Los Angeles Abrasion Machine. They play a critical role in the Los Angeles (LA) Abrasion Test, a widely recognized standard for evaluating the degradation resistance of aggregates.
Crafted from durable, hardened steel, these abrasion balls simulate the impact and abrasive forces that aggregates experience in real-world applications. During the test, a specified number of these balls are introduced into the machine's rotating drum along with the aggregate sample. Their tumbling action and impact precisely measure the material's resistance to wear, crushing, and disintegration.
Each ball has a precise diameter of 46-48mm (1.8-1.9in) and meets strict specifications to ensure consistent and reliable test results. This 12-pack set provides the foundational components required for the test. For laboratories conducting frequent testing, ordering additional sets is highly recommended to optimize workflow and enhance sample preparation efficiency, minimizing downtime between tests.
Features:
- Precision-Engineered: Manufactured from high-grade, hardened steel for consistent performance and longevity.
- Optimal Dimensions: Each ball measures 46-48mm (1.8-1.9in) in diameter, conforming to testing requirements.
- Complete Set: Supplied in a convenient 12-ball pack.
- Enhances Efficiency: Additional sets allow for continuous testing and reduced preparation time.
- Standards Compliant: Fully meets the rigorous requirements of ASTM C131/C131M, ASTM C535, and AASHTO T 96 standards, ensuring test validity and comparability.
Meets Standard(s): ASTM C131/C131M, ASTM C535, AASHTO T 96
