METHODS OF TESTING AGGREGATES:
PART 8: METHODS FOR DETERMINATION OF
AGGREGATE CRUSHING VALUE (ACV)
(FIRST REVISION)
This Part of MS 30 describes methods for the determination of the aggregate crushing
value (ACV) of aggregates which give a relative measure of the resistance of an
aggregate to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load.
The methods are applicable to both weak and strong aggregates passing a 14.0 mm test
sieve and retained on a 10.0 mm test sieve. For other size fractions, a recommended
method is described in Appendix A.
The method is not suitable for testing aggregates with an aggregate crushing value
higher than 30, and in such cases the method for ten per cent fines value described in
MS 30 : Part 9 is applicable.
