EN1097-2 specifies two test methods, one is the Los Angeles Machine and the other is the Impact Tester (AG400).
The Los Angeles Abrasion Machine consists of a cylinder, manufactured from structural steel plate, which is rotated about its horizontal axis. The cylinder has an internal removable shelf compliant with both the ASTM test method and the EN1097-2 test.
A full width bolted cover protects the filling aperture and a steel tray is provided for specimen unloading. The Los Angeles machine is fitted with a revolution counter, which can be pre-set to stop after a set number of revolutions and a safety stop button.
