Description

Overview

The sand absorption apparatus is used to determine the particle density and water absorption of fine aggregate. The conical mould and tamper bring the sand sample to its saturated surface-dry condition, which is the reference state needed to calculate relative density and absorption of fines used in concrete and asphalt mix design.

Model NL 1007 X / 001.

Applications & Test Methods

Sand Absorption Apparatus is used for aggregate and rock testing for concrete, asphalt and road-base quality control. It supports test procedures to BS 812-137, AASHTO T84, ASTM C128, EN 1097-6).
