Terminology3.1 For definitions of terms used in this test method, refer toTerminology C 125.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test is a measure of degradation of mineral aggre-gate

8、s of standard gradings resulting from a combination ofactions including abrasion or attrition, impact, and grinding ina rotating steel drum containing 12 steel spheres. As the drumrotates, a shelf plate picks up the sample and the steel spheres,carrying them around until they are dropped to the oppo

9、siteside of the drum, creating an impact-crushing effect. Thecontents then roll within the drum with an abrading andgrinding action until the shelf plate picks up the sample and thesteel spheres, and the cycle is repeated. After the prescribednumber of revolutions, the contents are removed from the

10、drumand the aggregate portion is sieved to measure the degradationas percent loss.5. Significance and Use5.1 The test has been widely used as an indicator of therelative quality or competence of various sources of aggregatehaving similar mineral compositions. The results do notautomatically permit v

11、alid comparisons to be made betweensources distinctly different in origin, composition, or structure.Assign specification limits with extreme care in considerationof available aggregate types and their performance history inspecific end uses.6.

16、ass approximately 400 and 440 g each,respectively, are readily available. Steel spheres 46.8 mm (12732 in.) indiameter having a mass approximately 420 g may also be obtainable. Thecharge may consist of a mixture of these sizes conforming to the totalmass tolerance of 6.4.7. Sampling7.1 Obtain the fi

17、eld sample in accordance with PracticeD 75 and reduce to an adequate sample size in accordance withPractice C 702.8. Test Sample Preparation8.1 Wash the reduced sample and oven dry at 110 6 5C(230 6 9F) to substantially constant mass, separate intoindividual size fractions, and recombine to the grad

18、ing of Table1 most nearly corresponding to the range of sizes in theaggregate as furnished for the work. Record the mass of thesample prior to test to the nearest 1 g.9. Procedure9.1 Place the test sample and charge in the Los Angelestesting machine and rotate the machine at 30 to 33 r/min for1000 r

19、evolutions (Note 3). After the prescribed number ofrevolutions, discharge the material from the machine and makea preliminary separation of the sample on a sieve coarser thanthe 1.70-mm (No. 12) sieve. Sieve the finer portion on a1.70-mm sieve in a manner conforming to Test Method C 136.Wash the mat

20、erial coarser than the 1.70-mm sieve and oven dryat 110 6 5C (230 6 9F) to substantially constant mass, anddetermine the mass to the nearest1g.9.1.1 If the aggregate is essentially free of adherent coatingsand dust, the requirement for washing after the test is optional.However, in the case of refer

21、ee testing, the washing procedureshall be performed. Elimination of washing after test willseldom reduce the measured loss by more than about 0.2 % ofthe original sample mass.NOTE 3Valuable information concerning the uniformity of the sampleunder test may be obtained by determining the loss after 20

22、0 revolutions.This loss should be determined by dry sieving the material on the1.70-mm (No. 12) sieve without washing. The ratio of the loss after 200revolutions to the loss after 1000 revolutions should not greatly exceed0.20 for material of uniform hardness. When this determination is made,take ca

23、re to avoid losing any part of the sample; return the entire sample,including the dust of fracture, to the testing machine for the final 800revolutions required to complete the test.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the loss (the difference between the originalmass and the final mass of the test sample)

24、 as a percentage ofthe original mass of the test sample (Note 4).NOTE 4The percent loss determined by this method has no knownconsistent relationship to the percent loss for the same material whentested by Test Method C 131.11.

Precision12.1 PrecisionThe precision of this test method has notbeen determined. It is expected to be co

26、mparable to that of TestMethod C 131.12.2 BiasNo statement is being made about the bias ofthis Test Method since there is no accepted reference materialsuitable for determining the bias of this procedure.13.

MAINTENANCE OF SHELFX1.1 The shelf of the Los Angeles machine is subject tosevere surface wear and impact. With use, the working surfaceof the shelf is peened by the balls and tends to develop a ridgeof met

29、al parallel to and about 32 mm (114 in.) from the junctionof the shelf and the inner surface of the cylinder. If the shelf ismade from a section of rolled angle, not only may this ridgedevelop but the shelf itself may be bent longitudinally ortransversely from its proper position.X1.2 The shelf shou

30、ld be inspected periodically to deter-mine that it is not bent either lengthwise or from its normalradial position with respect to the cylinder. If either conditionis found, the shelf should be repaired or replaced before furthertests are made. The influence on the test result of the ridgedeveloped

31、by peening of the working face of the shelf is notknown. However, for uniform test conditions, it is recom-mended that the ridge be ground off if its height exceeds 0.1 in.(2 mm).SUMMARY OF CHANGESThis section identifies the location of changes to this test method that have been incorporated since t
