Density
Do you need to perform ASTM C127 specific gravity testing to determine the relative density and absorption of coarse aggregate materials? Forney has a comprehensive selection of tools and accessories to help you analyze the weight ratio between identical volumes of aggregate and water. To complete this analysis, you’ll need to measure the weight and absorption of coarse aggregate in a dry sample, with a saturated surface, and when fully submerged.
The process for conducting ASTM C127 specific gravity tests is pretty simple and does not require any complex equipment. Still, you need to ensure you have the proper accessories on hand in order to perform accurate tests. At Forney, we sell a coarse aggregate specific gravity test set that provides the crucial tools for ASTM C127 specific gravity tests.
Each test set includes a wire density basket with a handle, along with a polyethylene pail. The basket is manufactured using No. 8 stainless steel mesh with a half-inch reinforcement. The basket and pail combination is perfect for weighing samples while suspended in water, allowing you to pinpoint the level of absorption of coarse aggregate materials.
If you’d rather purchase these items separately, we have several options for each. We offer varying sizes of unit weight buckets in your choice of aluminum or steel. You can also find wire density baskets and aluminum strike-off plates in our inventory, and we even stock specific gravity flasks made with break-resistant glass that you can use for gravity testing of cement, dust, sand, and other fine materials.
