15、rge consisting of 1250 g of 9.5-mm diameter steel balls. The jar, aggregate, water, and charge are revolved at 100 rpm for 15minutes. The sample is then washed and oven dried. The loss is the amount of material passing the 75 m sieve expressed as apercent by mass of the original sample.5. Significan
16、ce and Use5.1 The Micro-Deval abrasion test is a test of fine aggregate to determine abrasion loss in the presence of water and an abrasivecharge. Many aggregates are more susceptible to abrasion when wet than dry, and the use of water in this test incorporates thisreduction in resistance to degrada
17、tion. The test results are helpful in evaluating the toughness/abrasion resistance of fine aggregatesubject to abrasion when adequate information is not available from service records. This test is suitable for measuring the amountof weak, soft material such as shale or shaley carbonate in fine aggr
18、egate. Materials that give a low loss in this test are unlikelyto exhibit significant degradation during handling, mixing or placing. There is a relationship between drying shrinkage of cementmortar and Micro-Deval abrasion loss of fine aggregate, with higher loss materials resulting in higher dryin
19、g shrinkage.Descriptions of the development of the test and the relationship with other properties have been published.3,4,55.2 The Micro-Deval abrasion test on fine aggregate is useful for detecting changes in properties of aggregate produced froman aggregate source as part of a quality control or
20、quality assurance process.5.3 The Micro-Deval abrasion test on fine aggregate, in contrast to the version on coarse aggregate, has a significant correlationwith the Magnesium Sulfate soundness loss of fine aggregate. The Micro-Deval test on fine aggregate has better precision than thesulfate soundne
21、ss test, is quicker, and may be used in place of that test. Advice on specific values for selection of aggregate willbe found in the appendix.6. Apparatus6.1 Micro-Deval Abrasion Machine, a jar rolling mill as specified in Test Method D6928.6.2 Containers, stainless steel Micro-Deval abrasion jars a
22、s specified in Test Method D6928.6.3 Abrasive ChargeMagnetic stainless steel balls are required. These shall have a diameter of 9.5 6 0.5 mm. Each jarrequires a charge of 1250 6 5 g of balls.NOTE 1Prior to use, new containers and new steel balls should be conditioned. Conditioning is accomplished by
23、 running the equipment with a chargeof 500 g of silica sand with 750 ml of water for a period of four hours. From time to time it may be necessary to recondition the containers and steelballs. The need for this will be indicated by significant reduction in loss with the calibration material. It has
24、been found that reconditioning is usuallyneeded when the equipment has been used for testing carbonate coarse aggregate in the coarse aggregate version of the test (Test Method D6928), whichmay lead to polishing of the inside of the container and ball surfaces. The conditioning process gives the con
25、tainers and balls a “frosted” surface, whichpromotes tumbling of the balls and aggregate inside the container, rather than sliding when the containers are rotated. When silica rich fine aggregatesare tested, the need for reconditioning may be reduced or eliminated provided the calibration aggregate
26、gives satisfactory results. For this reason, it isgood practice to not use containers used for testing coarse aggregate in the fine aggregate version of the test.6.4 Sieves, with square openings, and of the following sizes conforming to Specification E11 specifications: 6.7 or 6.3 mm, 4.75mm, 2.36 m

The effect of grading is small when the mean loss is less than about 20 %.

Use of the Calibration Aggregate11.1 Calibration AggregateThe Laboratory will establish an adequate supply of materi

Provided the mean loss and variation of the “Standard Sutherland Micro-Deval Fine Aggregate” are within allowedtolerance given below in 11.1.1, the mean value and range obtained with the supply of the in-house calibration aggregate shall beused thereafter. At any time a new supply of the in-h

For continued acceptance of data, individual test data must fall with
46、in the range 15.2 to 18.4 % lossfor 95 % of the time.11.1.2 When test data of the calibration aggregate is outside the limits established in 11.1, an investigation as to the probablecause shall be conducted. The equipment shall be re-calibrated and the testing technique examined to detect non-confor

The material shall be taken from a stock supply and prepared according to 8.2. When 20 samples of calibration materialhave been tested,
