Quality control

Quality control

In lightweight aggregate, quality means predictability. Our test programme is built around that.

Routine testing

Routine testing Working hours Standards
Particle size distribution (sieve) Every shift ASTM C136 / ISIRI 4977
Loose bulk density Every shift EN 1097-3
Water absorption, 24 h Daily EN 1097-6
Crushing resistance Weekly EN 13055-1
Thermal conductivity Quarterly ISO 8301
Volume stability & harmful substances Quarterly EN 1744-1

From sample to certificate

  1. 01 Automatic sampling off the cooler at the start, middle and end of every shift.
  2. 02 Grading and bulk density tested in the plant laboratory, recorded against the batch.
  3. 03 The line is stopped and kiln parameters corrected whenever a result leaves the tolerance band.
  4. 04 A certificate of analysis is issued for the consignment as it is loaded.
  5. 05 A retained sample of every batch is kept for six months.
