Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus
Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/CE/93) is a steel cylinder-and-plunger set used to find how much coarse aggregate breaks down under a gradually applied compressive load in civil engineering and highway materials laboratories. Engineering colleges and testing labs use it with a compression testing machine, and the set is built around a 150 mm diameter mild steel cylinder with a 148 mm plunger. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus Used For?
The aggregate crushing value (ACV) test rates how well road stone and concrete aggregate resist crushing. A graded sample is first measured in the metal measure, filled in layers and tamped with the rounded rod, then transferred to the 150 mm cylinder on its base plate and levelled. The plunger is placed on top and the assembly is loaded steadily in a compression testing machine to the load the test method specifies.
After loading, the crushed sample is sieved and the fines are expressed as a percentage of the original mass; a lower value indicates a stronger aggregate. Because the set is simple and robust, it is common engineering lab equipment in polytechnics and TVET workshops, where students compare aggregates from different quarries. Keep the plunger and cylinder bore clean so the plunger moves freely.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of complete sets (cylinder, plunger, base plate, measure and tamping rod)
- Any spare tamping rods or metal measures
- Whether you also need a compression testing machine to apply the load
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, and this Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus is one of its own OEM products. The cylinder, plunger, base plate and measure are made at the company's licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, not sourced from a trader.
Because the maker quotes directly, colleges, materials-testing laboratories, dealers and importers get factory-direct supply and can ask the manufacturer itself about repeat orders or replacement parts. Find out more about the company on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus set include?
Each Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus set includes a steel cylinder, a base plate, a plunger, a cylindrical metal measure and one tamping rod. The cylinder is 150 mm ±0.5 mm in diameter, the plunger 148 mm ±0.5 mm, and the rod 16 mm by 600 mm with rounded ends.
What size is the metal measure in the Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus?
The metal measure in the Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus is 115 ±0.5 mm in diameter and 180 ±0.5 mm high. It is used to measure out the aggregate sample, filled in layers and tamped with the rod, before the sample goes into the test cylinder.
Does the Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus include a loading machine?
No. The Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus is the cylinder, plunger, base plate, measure and tamping rod set. The crushing load is applied with a separate compression testing machine, which you can include in the same enquiry if your laboratory does not already have one.
What finish do the parts of the Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus have?
Parts of the Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus are powder-coated or galvanized steel, and the listing notes they are heat treated and ground for durability. Wipe the cylinder and plunger clean and dry after each test to keep them in good condition.
Who manufactures the Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus?
The Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations, repeat orders and replacement-part questions are handled by the manufacturer directly.
What should a quotation request for the Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus include?
A quotation request for the Aggregate Crushing Value Apparatus should give the number of sets, any spare tamping rods or measures, whether a compression testing machine is also needed, and the delivery location. Send it through our contact page or the enquiry cart.
