Cube moulds are usually 150mm x 150mm
x 15 mm (or 100mm x100mm x100mm)
and can be made from steel or polyurethane.
The cube moulds must be manufactured to
the specifications / standards of the relevant
body, in the UK it is the British Standards
Institute to this specification BS EN 12390-
1:2000.
Test procedures require that
specimens are cast in a number of
standard sizes convenient for
compressive and flexural strength
determination. The
engineeringtolerances specified for
moulds are very stringent and the
internal finish of the surface must
be of a high order to comply with
the recommendations laid down in
many International Standards.
Moulds must not deform during
manufacture of concrete specimens
if the specimen dimensions are to
be maintained. Before the concrete
is scooped into the moulds the
moulds must be lightly coated in a
mould release agent. This ensures
that the concrete does not stick to
the mould and makes it easier to
remove the cube. When using a
150mm mould, the concrete
sample is scooped into the mould
in 3 equal layers (50mm) and
compacted between each layer.
There are various methods to
compact the concrete into the
moulds.

15.Particle Size Distribution andSand Equivalent Value

The analysis of soils by particle size provides auseful engineering classification system from whicha
considerable amount of empirical data can beobtained. Two separate and different procedures are used. Sieving
is used for gravel and sand size particles and sedimentation procedures are used for the finer soils. For soil
containing a range of coarse and fine particles it is usual to employ a composite test of sieving and
sedimentationprocedures. The Sand Equivalent Test serves as a rapid field test to show the relative proportions
of clay-like or plastic fine sand dusts in granular soils and fine aggregates.

diagram attached to the machine.

CAUTION:On three phase models be sure that rotation of the drum is counterclockwise as seen from drive
end. More than momentary reverse rotation may damagecounter.The ratio-motor gear housing is shipped
with oil. Check the oil level and if necessary,be sure to lubricate in accordance with the instructions on the
motor plate and includedin this manual.

NOTE: The Operating Instructions forthe motor and for the right angle gear head are considered part of these
instructions.Pillow Blocks

The bearings in all Gear Pillow Blocks are pre-greased at the factory. When re lubricationis necessary use
recommended ball bearing grease of medium consistencyand apply by means of an ordinary grease gun and
the convenient grease fittingprovidedCounter

Wiring: Connect the blue and black wires to the motor on-off switch in the control box.Method of Operation:
Subtracting in one direction of rotation, adding when rotationis reversed. The counter subtracts from the
preset figure down to zero where a contactswitch is released. For knock-off at 9999, refer to particulars under
the heading “ControlContacts.”

Setting: Depress reset push button and hold it down. Preset the required figure bymeans of the individual
push buttons (sequence immaterial). Release reset push button.Repetition of count: By depressing the reset
push button once, the counter isautomatically set for a repetition of the preset cycle.
Control Contacts: Any of the following control contacts can be incorporated:
• Wiping contact at zero (duration of contact is for 1 count only and is, therefore,dependent on the counting
speed, e.g. 100 ms for gearing ratio of (50 revs = 1count at 10,000 rpm)
• Permanent contact at the changeover from 0000 to 9999, in which case onenumber less than required has
to be preset for correctness. This contact remains onuntil the counter is reset. Max presetting range is
8999.

Machine

The Los Angeles Abrasion Testing Machine consists of a hollow steel cylinder, closedat both ends, having an
inside diameter of 28" and inside length of 20". The cylinderis mounted on stub shafts attached the ends of
the cylinder but not entering it andmounted in such a manner that it may be rotated about its axis in a
horizontal position.

An opening in the cylinder is provided for the introduction of the test sample. Theopening can be closed dust-
tight with the removable cover bolted in place.The cover is so designed as to maintain the cylindrical contour
of the interior surface.The shelf is so located that the charge will not fall in the cover or come in contact with
itduring the test.

A removable steel shelf projecting a radial 3- ½" into the cylinder and extending its fulllength is mounted along
one element of the interior surface of the cylinder. The shelfis of such thickness and so mounted by bolts or
other approved means to be firm &rigid. The position of the shelf is such that the distance from the shelf to
the openingmeasured along the circumference of the cylinder in the direction of rotation is not less
than 50".

If the cover stops at the bottom in a difficult to reach location, jog the barrel by pushingthe outer weight-plate
forward then reverse and pull to jog the barrel to the desiredposition.Abrasive chargesThe abrasive charges
consist of cast-iron spheres or steel spheres approximately1-7/8" in diameter and each weighing between
390g and 445g. The abrasive chargedepending upon the grading of the test sample as described on page 4
