Aggregate Crushing Value
The Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) Apparatus is a standard testing device used in civil engineering and materials science to evaluate the resistance of coarse aggregates to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load. This test helps determine the suitability of aggregates for use in concrete, asphalt, and road construction by providing a relative measure of their strength and durability. Aggregates with a lower crushing value indicate better quality for load-bearing applications
Standard Following
- IS 2386 (Part IV)
- ASTM equivalents
- BS 812 or IS 9376 1979.
It’s two type available Big size and Small size.
