STANDARD SAND EN 1097-8: 2020 Annex A

Method for determining aggregate abrasion (AAV)

The silica sand meets the specifications of Annex A.4.1 and A.4.3 under the term “abrasive” and corresponds to the method for determining the aggregate abrasion value (AAV) which provides a measure of the resistance of the aggregate to surface wear resulting from abrasion caused by circulation.

A quantity of approximately 30 kg is required for each test.
