Aggregate Analysis
Aggregates, which have an important place in concrete production, are the components that occupy around 60-75% of the concrete by volume. Aggregates are divided into two types according to their grain sizes: fine (such as sand, crushed sand, etc.) and coarse (such as gravel, crushed stone, etc.). The most important features sought in aggregates are as follows.
- They are hard, durable and void-free,
- They do not contain weak grains (such as seashell, wood, coal, etc.)
- They are resistant to pressure and abrasion,
- They do not contain dust, soil or substances that may damage concrete,
- They do not contain flat and long grains,
- They do not react harmfully with cement,
It is necessary. Our laboratory reports the suitability of aggregates in line with these requirements as a result of precise measurements and analyses. We continue our services with 25 years of experience in the sector in analyzes carried out by our impartial, independent and competent personnel. While handling this process, we report the chemical and/or physical properties using both instrumental and wet methods with current standards and supporting technological equipment. We follow and implement developments regarding energy materials with National and International Methods (TSE, ISO, ASTM, etc.). You can find our descriptions of our main activities below.
