Los Angeles

The Los Angeles method is used to determine a material’s resistance to abrasion. 

The Los Angeles test is used to evaluate the wear resistance and durability of aggregates, which are an important component of concrete and asphalt.
The test measures how well the aggregates resist wear and degradation when subjected to mechanical loading. 

The machine consists of a heavy steel cylinder with an internal diameter of 711 mm and an internal length of 508 mm, mounted on a base frame.
It is supplied with a sound-insulated safety enclosure in accordance with CE requirements. 

The machine is equipped with an automatic digital counter that can be preset to the desired number of drum revolutions.
The cylinder is counterbalanced so that the loading opening remains in position without tipping, making it possible to position the opening for loading and unloading.
The control panel can be wall-mounted or placed on a bench.
