Los Angeles Abrasion Machine to EN1097-2 ASTM C131

EN1097-2 specifies two test methods, one is the Los Angeles Machine and the other is the Impact Tester (AG400).

The Los Angeles Abrasion Machine consists of a cylinder, manufactured from structural steel plate, which is rotated about its horizontal axis. The cylinder has an internal removable shelf compliant with both the ASTM test method and the EN1097-2 test.

A full width bolted cover protects the filling aperture and a steel tray is provided for specimen unloading. The Los Angeles machine is fitted with a revolution counter and an easily accessible safety stop button in a separate control unit that can be wall mounted.
