The crushed aggregate is removed from the test specimen and sieve it through the 236 mm IS sieve An impact value is measured as of aggregates passed through the 236mm sieve W2 to the total weight of the sample W1 Aggregate impact value The value of aggregate impact test
Purpose of the test Impact testing is used to determine material behavior at higher deformation speeds Classical pendulum impact testers determine the impact energy absorbed by a standardized specimen up to break by measuring the height of rise of the pendulum hammer after impact
Jul 16 2014 · Aggregate impact value test gives an indication of aggregate''s toughness property ie property of a material to resist impact Aggregate impact values are used to classify the stone aggregates with respect to toughness property as given below Aggregate impact value Toughness Properties 10 Exceptionally tough Strong 10 – 20 Very tough Strong
The aggregates should therefore have sufficient toughness to resist their disintegration due to impact This characteristic is measured by impact value test The aggregate impact value is a measure of resistance to sudden impact or shock which may differ from its resistance to gradually applied compressive load Procedure of Aggregate Impact Test
Feb 08 2012 · Impact test may either be carried out on cylindrical stone specimens as in Page Impact test or on stone 1aggregates as in Aggregate Impact test The Page Impact test is not carried out nowadays and has also omitted from the revised British Standards for testing mineral aggregates
