Working Principle

Accurate determination of specific gravity and water absorption of aggregates.

The Density Basket is used to determine the specific gravity and water absorption of aggregates. The aggregate sample is placed in the basket and immersed in water to saturate the surface.

The basket with the sample is weighed in water and then in air to calculate the specific gravity and water absorption values as per standard test procedures.

The wire mesh construction allows water to pass freely while retaining the aggregate sample, ensuring accurate and repeatable results.
