    Scope *
    1.1 This test method covers a procedure for testing sizes of
    coarse aggregate smaller than 37.5 mm (1 12 in.) for resistance to
    degradation using the Los Angeles testing machine (Note 1).
    NOTE 1A procedure for testing coarse aggregate larger than 19.0 mm
    (34 in.) is covered in Test Method C 535.

    1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the


    standard. The inch-pound values given in parentheses are for
    information only.
    1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the
    safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
    responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

    3. Terminology
    3.1 DenitionsFor denitions of terms used in this test
    method, refer to Terminology C 125.
    4. Summary of Test Method
    4.1 This test is a measure of degradation of mineral aggregates of standard gradings resulting from a combination of
    actions including abrasion or attrition, impact, and grinding in
    a rotating steel drum containing a specied number of steel
    spheres, the number depending upon the grading of the test
    sample. As the drum rotates, a shelf plate picks up the sample
    and the steel spheres, carrying them around until they are
    dropped to the opposite side of the drum, creating an impactcrushing effect. The contents then roll within the drum with an
    abrading and grinding action until the shelf plate picks up the
    sample and the steel spheres, and the cycle is repeated. After
    the prescribed number of revolutions, the contents are
    removed from the drum and the aggregate portion is sieved to
    measure the degradation as percent loss.
    5. Signicance and Use
    5.1 This test has been widely used as an indicator of the
    relative quality or competence of various sources of aggregate
    having similar mineral compositions. The results do not
    automatically permit valid comparisons to be made between
    sources distinctly different in origin, composition, or structure.
    Assign specication limits with extreme care in consideration
    of available aggregate types and their performance history in
    specic end uses.
    6. Apparatus
    6.1 Los Angeles MachineA Los Angeles machine, conforming in all essential characteristics to the design shown in
    Fig. 1, shall be used. The machine shall consist of a hollow
    steel cylinder, with a wall thickness of not less than 12.4 mm
