The test measures the resistance of aggregates to surface wear by abrasion.
Inadequate abrasion of road-surfacing aggregates leads to an early loss of the texture depth required to keep high-speed skidding resistance.

The control panel can be wall fixed or placed on a bench.
Supplied complete with two specimen moulds, two trays, weights and fixing device.
