Our Testing Services
WISDOT Fracture (Coarse)
This test determines the percentage of fractured faces in coarse aggregates, ensuring they meet Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) specifications for durability and performance in construction applications.
T11: Material Finer Than No. 200 Sieve
We measure the percentage of fine particles passing through a No. 200 sieve to assess the cleanliness of aggregates. Excess fine material can affect the bonding and durability of concrete and asphalt mixes.
T27: Sieve Analysis of Fine and Coarse Aggregates
This test determines the particle size distribution of aggregates. Proper gradation ensures optimal performance in construction materials, enhancing strength and workability.
T90: Determining the Plasticity Index of Aggregates
We evaluate the plasticity index to identify the potential for shrinkage and expansion in aggregates. This is crucial for materials used in roadways and other infrastructure.
T255: Moisture Content Determination
This test measures the moisture content in aggregates, ensuring accurate mix designs and preventing issues such as cracking or poor compaction in finished products.
ASTM D4791: Flat and Elongated Particles in Coarse Aggregate
We assess the proportion of flat and elongated particles in coarse aggregates. These characteristics are critical for ensuring stability and reducing deformation under load.
