Bellstone Aggregate Impact Tester

The Bellstone Aggregate Impact Tester is a specialized instrument used to determine the impact resistance of aggregates and evaluate their durability under repeated impacts. It consists of a sturdy base and a cylindrical steel cup with a specified height and diameter, which houses the aggregate sample. The tester operates by dropping a steel hammer of specified weight and height onto the aggregate-filled cup from a specified height. The resulting impact causes the aggregates to break and disperse, with the percentage of aggregate retained on specified sieves used to determine the aggregate's toughness and resistance to fragmentation. This tester is essential in assessing the quality and suitability of aggregates for various construction applications.
