Shape and Void Content
Using a void content apparatus can help you determine an aggregate sample’s void ratio and bulk density. Conducting these tests allows you to figure out several shape characteristics of the sample, including surface texture, sphericality, and angularity. At Forney, we stock all of the tools and accessories you need to determine the shape and void content of an aggregate sample.
It all starts with the void content apparatus for fine aggregates. This device analyzes the uncompacted void content of a fine aggregate sample, and it also indicates the angularity, sphericality, and workability of the material. The void content apparatus includes a 100 ml brass cylindrical measure, a funnel with a glass jar, a sturdy stand, and a glass plate for calibration.
We also offer a coarse void content apparatus, which is a scaled-up version of the void content apparatus for fine aggregates. This void content apparatus is best suited for aggregates used in hot-mix asphalt paving projects. It includes a hopper, a stand, a measure, a strike-off bar, and a glass plate.
Forney also has all of the tools and accessories you need for shape and void content testing. For instance, you’ll find glass plates, aluminum pans, thickness gauges, measures, length gauges, and proportional caliber devices in our inventory.
If you have any questions about our void content apparatus and accessory inventory, don’t hesitate to call Forney at 800-367-6397. We will be happy to discuss your specific needs and help you find the ideal products for your next project.
