    This machines used the for determination of
    resistance to wear by attrition iron cylinders 20 cm. dia 34 cm. long with
    dust and water-tight covers, mounted on shaft with their axis inclined at 30
    deg. to the axis of rotation of the shaft. Rotation speed is 30-33 rpm.

    This is for aggregates resistance to abrasion. The
    apparatus consists of a metal disc which revolves in a horizontal plane on a
    vertical shaft. A suitable attachment for holding the specimen with is axis
    vertical and its lower end pressed with a prescribed pressure against the
    surface of the disc (the distance from the centre of specimen to the centre
    of shaft being 25 cm) is provided. A convenient funnel for feeding sand
    continuously upon the rotating disc is also provided. The machine is fitted
    with a ¼ h.p. electric motor, driven through a reduction gear to give
    28-30 revolution of the disc per minute. Suitable for operation from 220/230
    volts single phase, A.C. supply

    The object of this apparatus is to determine the
    polished stone value which gives a relative measure of the extent to which
    different types of road stones in the wearing surface will polish under
    traffic. The complete apparatus consists of the following:
    
      -  An accelerated polishing machine
 
      -  A friction tester.
 
      -  IS test sieves of sizes 10mm., 8.0mm.(both perforated plate),
        425micron, 300micron, 212micron, 150micron.

    MI.SA-1010 Friction Tester 
    A pendulum arm, having a spring-loaded rubber slider
    on the pendulum foot. Device is placed on the portion of the road surface to
    be tested. It is then leveled, and the height of the center of suspension of
    the pendulum is adjusted to a fixed value which is read on a special gauge.
     The pendulum is then released from its horizontal position, to swing down
    freely until the rubber slider contacts the test surface. As the slider
    travels across the surface for a fixed distance, the pendulum is slowed and
    a frictionally-constrained pointer affixed to the pendulum arm measures the
    highest point in the pendulum arc.
