Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus
The Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) Apparatus is a precision-built testing instrument used to determine the crushing strength of aggregates. It evaluates the resistance of aggregates to gradual compressive load and is essential for road construction, concrete mix design, and material quality assessment.
Includes a 75 mm diameter steel cylinder, a durable plunger, and a solid steel base plate. All surfaces in contact with aggregates are case-hardened for long-term wear resistance.
Designed specifically to perform standardized ACV tests to evaluate aggregate quality and durability in load-bearing applications.
Constructed using corrosion-resistant steel with hardened contact points to withstand repeated testing cycles.
Conforms to geotechnical testing standards
Ergonomic design for easy handling
High-quality material for long-term durability
Cost-effective for industrial and educational use
For evaluating aggregate quality used in structural and foundational works.
To determine the suitability of aggregates for:
Road base
Sub-base
Bituminous pavement layers
Rigid pavements
To ensure aggregates meet the required strength for concrete mixes.
For regular quality control and certification of aggregate batches.
Used for teaching, studying, and analyzing aggregate behavior under compressive loads.
To assess the strength of sourced aggregates before supplying to construction companies.
Accurate & repeatable test results
Durable case-hardened components
Essential for quality control of aggregates
Suitable for major construction and laboratory testing environments
