Impact and Crushing Value
Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) Sets
UTA-0630 Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) Set Ø 150 mm BS
UTA-0640 Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) Set Ø 75 mm BS
The Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) Test Set measures how resistant an aggregate is, when being crushed under a gradually applied compressive load. Each set consists of steel cylinder, plunger, base plate, cylindrical measure and tamping rod. For durability and reliability, all parts of the apparatus are galvanized steel or powder coated, heat treated and ground prior to manufacturing. For aggregates smaller than 10 mm, a 75 mm diameter cylinder and associated equipment is available.
UTA-0630 and UTA-0640 Test Sets are also used for the Ten Percent Fines Value (TFV) of aggregates according to BS 812:111.
The Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) Set is supplied complete with:
- Cylinder,
- Base Plate,
- Plunger,
- Cylindrical Measure
- Tamping Rod

Aggregate Impact Value (AIV) Test Machine
UTA-0650
The Aggregate Impact Value Testing Apparatus 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 number of blows delivered to the sample is automatically documented by the counter that is fitted to the machine. The counter is made of heavy duty plated steel which is resistant to corrosion.
The Aggregate Impact Value (AIV) Apparatus is supplied complete with:
- Cylindrical Measure, Ø 75 mm
- Steel Tamping Rod, Ø 16x600 mm
