Aggregates
INTRODUCTION
Mineral aggregates are used in all
fields of the construction industry to
produce bituminous mixtures, concrete, mortars to be used in structures, fill
materials, railway ballast, etc. For this
reason we have given particular attention to all testing methods. The new
EN standards have grouped all tests on
aggregates in five main subjects:
- Tests for general properties of aggregates
- Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates
- Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates
- Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates
- Tests for chemical properties of aggregate.
In the majority of cases the new EN
Standards correspond to some existing National Standards and, apart
from a few exceptions there is almost
no difference in the specifications of
test apparatus.

New EN European Standards. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and relation with the existing National Specifications
B
y the time this catalogue has been printed a number of new European Standards concerning aggregates will have been published and
the correspondent National Standards are automatically superseded.
The new EN Standards for aggregates have been grouped in five main subjects:
Standards
- Tests for general properties of aggregates
from EN 932-1 to EN 932-6
- Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates
from EN 933-1 to EN 933-10
- Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates
from EN 1097-1 to EN 1097-10
- Tests for thermal and weathering properties of aggregates
from EN 1367-1 to EN 1367-5
- Tests for chemical properties of aggregates
from EN 1744-1 to EN 1744-3
In the majority of cases the new EN Standards correspond to some existing National Standards and, apart from a few exceptions there is
almost no difference in the specifications of test apparatus.
In order to allow clients the choice to update, if necessary, their laboratory equipment, we list below all the new EN Standards with corresponding National Standard.
Considering that in many countries outside Europe the National Standards such as BS and NF will still be adopted, we continue to supply
the relative apparatus.

The machine consists of a rolled steel drum
having an inside diameter of 711 mm
and internal length 508 mm. The drum is
rotated by a speed reducer driven by an
electric motor at a speed of between 31
and 33 r.p.m. The machine is equipped with
an automatic counter, which can be preset
to the required number of revolutions of
the drum. The unit is supplied without the
abrasive charge, which has to be ordered
separately depending on the standard in
use.
Conforming to the CE directive, the machine should be housed in a soundproof and
protection cabinet.
Our standard model can be upgraded for
this requirement by the 48-D0500/XUP
Soundproof and protection cabinet, which
has to be specified at time of order and

and many other similar tests on concrete
and other construction materials
Model 10-D1429/A with digital controller
for both temperature from –25 to +70°C
and humidity from 10 to 95%, also suitable for many other tests as for example
concrete and cement curing (EN 12390-2,
EN 196-1).
Both models can be upgraded with internal
data recording facility, data output port
and dedicated PC software. See model
10-D1429/REC.
M 10-D1429
Temperature controlled cabinet,
520 litres cap., temperature range
–25 to +70°C. 230 V, 50 Hz, 1 ph.
and other components are located in the
top of the cabinet for easy inspection and
maintenance. Thermostatic unit
The cooling group, CFC free, is overspecified for the maximum reliability. It is
designed to condition the air circulating
in the cabinet. The cooling group consists
of a compressor mounted on antivibration
supports with internal thermal protection,
copper tube condensers with aluminium
fins, motor fans directly connected to the
shaft and complete with thermal protection. The cooling circuit is entirely made of
copper and is completed with de-water/
receiver filter, spy glass to verify the passage of freon, high pressure manostat
and inlet connectors. The evaporator has
the same characteristics of the condenser.
The de-humidification is obtained by a
smooth tube with cyclic thaw. The heating element consists of a stainless steel
finned tube with a limit thermostat. The
re-cycling fans are connected directly to
the low thermal emissions motors.

The PT100 temperature sensor is movable
inside the cabinet area and can also be
positioned inside the test sample conforming to specific Standard requirement.

General description and specifications
Used for the determination of CaCO3 especially in limestone and lime marl. It consists
of a glass container in which the reaction
between the calcium carbonate contained
in the products and a solution of hydrochloric acid takes place. The gas given off
is collected and measured with a suitable
device connected with the container. Being
measured the volume of gas (CO2) given off
it can be related with the quantity of CaCO3
contained in the sample.
Used in the test method for
the chemical determination of potential reactivity
of aggregates with alkalies
in Portland cement concrete. Manufactured from
corrosion-resistant metal
and fitted with an airtight
cover.

General description and specifications
Used to crush aggregates, core samples,
and similar materials when a reduction in
sample size is necessary. The crusher has a
jaw opening of 100x60 mm and can produce from 100 to 400 kg of material per hour.
The movement of the jaws can be regulated
from 5 to 15 mm.
The laboratory crusher is supplyed with a
separate control panel
Motor: 736 W
B Dimensions: 650x550x500 mm
A Weight approx.: 90 kg
The hammer mill executes the grinding
operation using the principle of the combination of three efforts: impact, shear and
rebound. Once entered into the grinding
chamber through the hopper, the material
reaches the wished fineness and trough the
filtering hoses arrives to the collector.
General specifications
- Grinding chamber dia. 180 mm
- 3,4 interchangeable fixed hammers
- Output grain size: “rise” type (4÷5 mm)
- Possibility of installing screens with
various opening size according to the
wished grain size
- Max. hardness of the material to grind:
6÷7 Mohs
- Maximum capacity: 50 kg/h
- 380 V, 50 Hz, 3 ph., 500 W
The machine is supplied complete with:
- screens of 1, 2 and 3 mm opening
- safety microswitch
- electric control board
- filtering hose
- powder collector
