Coarse Aggregates Testing

In construction, the integrity of your concrete or asphalt is only as good as the stone within it. We provide comprehensive Coarse Aggregates Testing to ensure your materials meet rigorous industry standards and project specifications. Our laboratory strictly adheres to ASTM standards to guarantee precision, durability, and safety for every project.

Core Testing Services

1. Particle Size & Gradation

We determine the particle size distribution of your aggregates. This is critical for ensuring proper packing and workability in concrete mixes.

We measure the amount of fine material (silt and clay) that could potentially weaken the bond between the aggregate and the cement paste.

2. Durability & Strength

This test evaluates the hardness of the aggregate. By subjecting the material to degradation, we determine its resistance to crushing and wear during handling and service.

We assess the resistance of aggregates to weathering, specifically their ability to withstand repeated freezing and thawing or wetting and drying cycles.

3. Physical Properties & Density

This essential measurement helps calculate the volume occupied by the aggregate in various mixtures and determines its water absorption rate.

We measure the density of the aggregate and the percentage of voids between particles, which is vital for accurate batching and yield calculations.

4. Deleterious Substances

We identify and quantify weak materials that can break down easily, ensuring your aggregate is free of contaminants that cause surface defects or reduced strength.

Why Our Testing Matters?

Using untested or sub-standard aggregates can lead to structural cracking, poor durability, and costly rework. Our reports provide the clarity and consistency needed to:
