What is BS 812-110 - Determination of aggregate crushing value (ACV) about?

BS 812 is the British Standard for testing aggregates. The main objective of the BS 812 series is to provide the best industry guidance to ensure construction materials contribute to the structural integrity of your civil engineering works. BS 812-110 is the 110th part of the BS 812 series that describes a method for the determination of the aggregate crushing value (ACV) which gives a relative measure of the resistance of an aggregate to crushing under a gradually applied compressive load. The method is applicable to 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. Note: 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 BS 812-111 is applicable.
