The Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) Test Set provides a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load. Each set consists of steel cylinder, plunger, base plate, cylindrical measure and tamping rod. All parts of the apparatus are powder coated or galvanized steel, heat treated and ground before manufacturing to make it durable and reliable. For aggregates smaller than 10 mm, a 75 mm diameter cylinder and associated equipment is available.
