About This Product
The Los Angeles abrasion test is used to judge how well stone aggregate resists wear and impact. A sample is placed in the drum with the steel balls, the drum is turned for a set number of revolutions shown on the counter, and the material is then collected on the tray and compared with the original sample. The dust tight cover is used to load and empty the drum, and the detachable shelf inside catches the abrasive charge.
