ASTM C131 Standard Test Method for Resistance of Small-Size Coarse Aggregate to Deterioration by Los Angeles Machine Abrasion and Impact

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ASTM C131 testing. This test method covers a procedure for testing the resistance to failure of coarse aggregates less than 37,5 mm (11/2 in.) in size using a Los Angeles testing machine.

This test is widely used as an indicator of the relative quality or adequacy of various aggregate sources with similar mineral compositions. The results do not automatically allow valid comparisons to be made between sources that differ significantly in origin, composition, or structure. Assign specification limits with extreme care, taking into account the types of aggregates available and their performance history in specific end uses.

Values ​​specified in SI units will be considered standard. Inch-pound values ​​in parentheses are for informational purposes only.

This standard does not purport to address all safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
