We provide a comprehensive range of Aggregates Testing meeting Cyprus and European Standards together with Standard Highways PWD requirements. Mechanical, physical and chemical testing is conducted on a wide range of natural and recycled aggregates to ensure they are fit for purpose. Our Clients are Quaries (EN 12620, EN 13139, EN 13043, EN13242) , Batching Plants , Asphalt Plants, Developers and Contsrtuction Companies

  • Water Content Percentage of water based on dry mass of sample.BS 1097-5
  • Particle Size Distribution Grading Aggregates to determine suitability using grading limits defined in BS Standards and MCHW.BS EN 933-1
  • Constituents of Coarse Recycled Aggregates  Recycled materials, physical examination to determine the constituent parts and foreign materials within a sample. (Note; this test is not suitable for sands)BS EN 933-11
  • Los Angeles (Fragmentation) A common test to indicate the resistance to fragmentation indicating toughness, replaces BS 812 Ten Percent Fines test.BS EN 1097-2 
  • Micro Deval  Abrasion resistance and durability of aggregatesBS EN 1097-1
  • Magnesium Sulphate Soundness of aggregates, resistance to disintegration from soaking and crystallising of salts granules.BS EN 1367-2
    • Particle Density & Water Absorption Particle density, sometimes referred to as specific gravity and absorption to show porosity of the aggregate when used in conjunction with Loose Bulk Density and Voids test.BS EN 1097-6 
    • Sand Equivalent Test Determines the cleanliness of a fine aggregate. Reports to % sand presence in sample.BS EN 933-8
    • Methylene Blue  Determines how absorptive the fine fraction (<2mm fraction) of a material is. i.e. harmful fines content.BS EN 933-9 
    • Particle Shape – Flakiness/Shape Index  Slotted sieves designed to determine flaked / elongated shapes with in the aggregateBS EN 933-3/4
    • Loose Bulk Density & Voids With single size material this will provide mass against volume and using PD/WA voidage can be calculated.BS EN 1097-3
    • Max Dry Density/Optimum Moisture Content (modified Proctor) 5 point test to determine the optimum water content to achieve the best densityBS EN 13286-4
