FAQs of Deval Abrasion Testing Machine:
Q: How does the Deval Abrasion Testing Machine work for aggregate assessment?
A: The machine evaluates the resistance of aggregate samples to abrasion by rotating them within steel drums containing an abrasive charge. The digital or mechanical revolution counter accurately records up to 999 revolutions, ensuring standardized testing as per industry protocols.
Q: What materials and surface treatment enhance the durability of this testing machine?
A: The body is constructed from mild steel (MS) and the drums are made of steel, providing robust mechanical strength. Its surfaces are powder coated or painted to resist corrosion and wear, prolonging the operational life even in demanding laboratory environments.
Q: When is the Deval Abrasion Testing Machine used in civil engineering laboratories?
A: It is typically used during aggregate quality assessment phases, either during procurement or construction stages, to determine abrasion resistance. This ensures that aggregates meet required standards for road building and other civil engineering applications.
Q: Where should the Deval Abrasion Testing Machine be installed for optimal performance?
A: The machine is designed for placement on laboratory floors due to its floor-mounted configuration. Positioning it in a controlled lab environment with stable electrical supply (220V AC, 50 Hz) ensures precise and consistent test outcomes.
Q: What is the process for operating the Deval Abrasion Testing Machine?
A: First, aggregate samples (up to 5 kg per drum) are loaded with abrasive charge into the hollow cylinders. Users set the desired revolutions on the panel-controlled timer, start the machine, and upon completion, remove the drums for analysis, aided by the easy drum removal feature.
Q: How do the features of the machine benefit users in aggregate testing?
A: Users benefit from its rugged construction, easy-to-use control panel, efficient counter system, and smooth operation. The device guarantees accurate results (1% accuracy) while simplifying sample handling and maintenance, making it a reliable tool for manufacturers, suppliers, and lab technicians.
