About Aggregate Impact Tester With Blow Counter
Specification:
It is robustly designed to determine the aggregate impact value (AIV) of aggregates which provides a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate to sudden shock or impact. The counter fitted to the machine automatically records the number of blows delivered to the sample, manufactured from heavy duty plated steel to resist corrosion.
Specification:
The instrument consists of a circular base with Two vertical guides. The Hammer of weight 13.75 +/-0.25kg can be raised to fall freely down the vertical guides. The Height of fall can be adjusted through 380 +/- 5mm. The Hammer is provided with a lockingarrangement.
The hammer falls freely to the base and is removable for employing. Supplied complete with metal measure 75mm dia x 50mm high
(For specimen preparation) and Tamping Rod 230mm long x 10mm diameter.
A Blow Counter to count the number of strokes is fitted on top of the equipment.

FAQ's of Aggregate Impact Tester With Blow Counter:
Q: How does the Aggregate Impact Tester with Blow Counter operate?
A: This tester operates by placing the aggregate specimen in the cup, setting the digital blow counter, and using the manual control to release the 13.5 kg hammer from a fixed height of 380 mm. The automated blow counter records each impact in real time, allowing precise measurement of aggregate impact value.
Q: What is included in the accessory set with the tester?
A: The equipment is supplied with a measuring cylinder, tamping rod, automatic blow counter, and a specimen tray. All components are housed in an export-quality wooden or metallic case for safe transport and storage.
Q: Where can this aggregate impact tester be used?
A: It is designed for laboratory environments such as construction material testing labs, civil engineering institutes, and research facilities. Its compact benchtop mounting allows versatility in placement on laboratory tables.
Q: When is calibration required for this tester?
A: Calibration is performed at the factory and typically does not require immediate recalibration. Routine checks should be conducted based on laboratory protocols and frequency of use to maintain optimal accuracy.
Q: What is the process for testing aggregates using this equipment?
A: The process involves loading a single specimen of 10-12.5 mm aggregate size into the cup, presetting the desired number of blows, and initiating the automated test sequence. The digital LED counter displays each blow, and aggregate impact value is calculated post-testing.
Q: How does the digital blow counter benefit the testing procedure?
A: The digital blow counter ensures precise blow counts with single blow resolution, eliminates manual error, and provides immediate data feedback, enhancing test accuracy and efficiency.
Q: What are the main advantages of using this Aggregate Impact Tester?
A: Its sturdy design, accurate digital measurements, easy specimen loading, and low-maintenance features reduce operator effort and deliver reliable results, essential for quality assurance in aggregate impact strength assessments.
