Coarse Aggregate Density Test Set
Product Code : LSK-CL-10590
Coarse Aggregate Density Test Set (SKU LSK-CL-10590) brings together a buoyancy balance, water tank and wire-mesh density basket for finding the density and specific gravity of coarse aggregate by weighing it in air and in water. It handles aggregate between 63 mm and 5 mm. Concrete technology and highway materials labs use it for mix design data. Science Lab Supplies supplies the set from Ambala, India to institutions, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The buoyancy balance has an 8000 g capacity and runs on 220 V AC, 50/60 Hz. A suspension hook hangs the 203 x 203 mm wire-mesh density basket into a water tank of about 400 x 400 x 330 mm, while an 8 inch No. 4 brass sieve and a galvanised pan prepare the sample.

Applications and Experiments for the Coarse Aggregate Density Test Set
The set is used to measure the density and specific gravity of coarse aggregate by buoyancy weighing. These values feed directly into concrete mix design, so the test is a routine practical in civil engineering concrete technology and highway materials labs and in construction-materials training courses.
- B.Tech / B.E. civil engineering: specific gravity of coarse aggregate for mix design.
- Diploma civil engineering: aggregate testing in the building-materials lab.
- Highway engineering: density of road aggregates.
- TVET materials-testing courses: practice in buoyancy weighing.
Standard Scope of Supply
Supply covers the 8000 g buoyancy balance, suspension hook, density basket of reinforced No. 8 wire mesh, water tank, 8 inch brass No. 4 sieve and one galvanised pan. A drying oven for bringing samples to constant mass is a separate item.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size aggregate can be tested?
The buoyancy balance and basket are intended for coarse aggregate between 63 mm and 5 mm; the No. 4 sieve is used to remove finer material before the test.
What is the capacity of the balance?
The buoyancy balance has a capacity of 8000 g and runs on 220 V AC at 50 or 60 Hz.
How is the density found?
The sample is weighed in air and then in the basket suspended in the water tank. The difference gives its volume, from which density and specific gravity are calculated.
Who supplies this test set?
Science Lab Supplies, based in Ambala, India, supplies the set and quotes to colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
