    The document describes procedures for testing aggregate resistance to abrasion using a Los Angeles testing machine. The test involves placing aggregate samples into the machine along with steel balls and rotating it for a specified number of revolutions. The sample is then sieved and weighed before and after to determine the percentage of wear. The percentage of wear is calculated and reported as the result of the test.

    LOS ANGELES TEST

    This method covers procedures for testing aggregate for resistance to abrasion using
    LOS ANGELES TEST MACHINE.

    LOS ANGELES TEST MACHINE

    LOS ANGELES TEST

    LOS ANGELES TEST


    Sample preparation
    Step 1: The test sample shall be washed and oven-dried at 105 C to
    110 C to substantially constant mass.
    Step 2: The sample shall be separated into individual size fractions
    and recombined to the grading of Table 1 and 2 most nearly
    corresponding to the range of sizes in the
    aggregate as furnished for the work.
    Step 3: The mass of the sample shall prior to test shall be recorded to
    the nearest 1 g (m1).

    LOS ANGELES TEST


    TABLE 1

    LOS ANGELES TEST


    TABLE 2

    LOS ANGELES TEST

    The charge shall consist of 12 steel spheres averaging approximately 47 mm


    (12732 in.) in diameter, each having a mass between 390 and 445 g, and having a
    total mass of 500025 g.

    LOS ANGELES TEST

    Place the test sample and the charge in the Los Angeles testing machine and
    rotate the machine at a speed of 30 to 33 rev/min for 500 revolutions.

    The number of revolutions shall be 500 for aggregate smaller than 38 mm

    The number of revolutions shall be 1000 for aggregate larger than 19 mm.

    After the prescribed number of revolutions, discharge the material from the
    machine and make a preliminary separation of the sample on a sieve coarser than
    the 1.70-mm (No. 12). Sieve the finer portion on a 1.70-mm sieve in a manner
    conforming to Test Method C 136. Wash the material coarser than the 1.70-mm
    sieve and oven dry at 1105C (2309F) to substantially constant mass and
    determine the mass to the nearest 1 g If the aggregate is essentially free of
    adherent coatings and dust, the requirement for washing after test may be
    waived, but drying before the test is always required. However, in the case of
    referee testing, the washing procedure shall be performed

    LOS ANGELES TEST

    Valuable information concerning the uniformity of the sample under test may be
    obtained by also determining the loss after 100 revolutions in the case where 500
    revolutions is specified or after 200 revolutions in the case where 1000 revolutions
    is specified. The loss should be determined without washing the material coarser
    than the 1.7-mm sieve. The ratio of the loss after 100 or 200 revolutions to the
    lose after 500 or 1000 revolutions, respectively, should not greatly exceed 0.20 for
    material of uniform hardness. When this determination is made, care should be
    taken to avoid losing any part of the sample; the entire sample, including the dust
    of abrasion, shall be returned to the test machine for the final 400 or 800
    revolutions required to complete the test.

    LOS ANGELES TEST


    CALCULATION

    Express the difference between the original weight and the final
    weigth of the test sample As a percentage of the original weight of
    the test sample
    Report this value as a percentage of wear
