Qualitest offers a specialized line of Rock and Aggregates Testing Equipment designed to evaluate the mechanical properties, durability, and surface characteristics of rocks, aggregates, and construction materials. These instruments are essential for civil engineering, mining, transportation, and quality control applications where the performance of materials under mechanical stress and wear must be accurately assessed.

Whether you’re testing coarse aggregates for road construction, rock cores for structural integrity, or abrasion resistance for flooring materials, our advanced equipment ensures compliance with international standards and delivers highly repeatable results in both laboratory and field environments.

Rock and Aggregates Testing Equipment

Rock and Aggregate Testing Instruments We Offer

  • Los Angeles Abrasion Tester: Used to determine the abrasion resistance and durability of coarse aggregates. Conforms to ASTM C131, ASTM C535, AASHTO T96, and EN 1097-2 standards.
  • Micro-Deval Abrasion Tester: Ideal for evaluating the abrasion resistance of fine and coarse aggregates in wet conditions. Compliant with ASTM D6928, AASHTO T327, and EN 1097-1.
  • Specimen End Grinder: Precision grinding of cylindrical rock or concrete specimens to achieve perfectly flat and parallel ends, required for compressive strength testing per ASTM and ISRM guidelines.
  • Böhme Abrasion Tester: Measures the wear resistance of natural stone and concrete paving slabs, commonly used in flooring and road surface material evaluation. Follows EN 1338, EN 1340, and related standards.
  • Skid Resistance and Friction Tester: Assesses the slip resistance and frictional properties of aggregates, road surfaces, or flooring materials under dry or wet conditions. Designed in accordance with ASTM E303, EN 13036-4, and BS 812 standards.
