Other Asphalt Mix Tests

This section includes the Cantabro test that measures the loss of abrasion in laboratory compacted asphalt mix cylindrical specimens, by using the Los Angeles Abrasion machine, and the Duriez mould kit, available with 80 and 120mm diameter, used to compact cylindrical specimens then used to determine the physical and mechanical properties of bituminous mixtures by compression.

Duriez Compression Test Sets

The test is performed to determine and study the mechanical properties of asphalt mix.

Standards NF P98-251-1/4

77-B0090/A1-A5
Description
 
The test is performed to determine and study the physical and mechanical properties of bituminous mixtures. Two mould sizes: 80 and 120 mm dia. All parts are made from steel protected against corrosion. The specimens have to be temperature conditioned with a suitable climatic chamber (see \#climatic-chambers\#, model 10-D1429/A)and the compression test has to be performed with a testing compression machine of minimum 180 kN capacity for compaction and compression, as, for example the electromechanical universal tester model 70-T2502.

Los Angeles Machine for Asphalt Tests

Used to perform aggregate abrasion and Cantabro tests.

Standards EN 12697-17 EN 12697-43 EN 1097-2 ASTM C131

Los Angeles abrasion machine model 48-D0500/G
Description
The machine consists of a rolled steel drum having an inside dia. 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 or  the total working time. The unit is supplied without the abrasive charge, which has to be ordered separately depending on the standard in use (see accessories).

The machine is supplied without the safety cabinet and it can be upgraded with:
  • CE compliant safety cabinet with door opening switch for Los Angeles machine.
  • Noise reduction and CE compliant safety cabinet with door opening switch for Los Angeles machine.
Main Features
  • High stiffness welded steel frame
  • High resolution graphical display 128×80 pixels and 6 keys membrane keyboard 
  • 8 languages can be set: Italian, English, French, Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian and Cesky 
  • Double test procedure: it is possible to set the target revolutions / drops or the total working time
  • The machine can be mounted inside a noise reduction and CE compliant safety cabinet with door opening switch
