Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates - Part 8: Determination of the polished stone value

This European Standard describes the reference method used for type testing and in case of dispute for determining the polished stone value (PSV) of a coarse aggregate used in road surfacings. For other purposes, in particular factory production control, other methods may be used provided that an appropriate working relationship with the reference method has been established. Examples of advanced test methods can be found in the Bibliography.
Annex A describes an optional method for the determination of the aggregate abrasion value (AAV).
NOTE   The AAV method is suitable to use when particular types of skid resistant aggregates, (typically those with a PSV of 60 or greater) which can be susceptible to abrasion under traffic, are required.

4 Principle
PSV is a measure of the resistance of coarse aggregate to the polishing action of vehicle tyres under
conditions which simulate those occurring on the surface of a road.
The test is carried out on aggregate passing a 10 mm sieve and retained on a 7,2 mm grid sieve, and is in
two parts:
a) test specimens are subjected to a polishing action in an accelerated polishing machine;
b) the state of polish reached by each specimen is measured by means of a friction test. The PSV is
then calculated from the friction determinations.
5 Sampling
The sample submitted to the laboratory for the test shall be obtained from a batch of normal production
from the source.
Aggregate that has been freshly produced in the laboratory or has been recovered from bituminous
mixtures can give misleading results and shall not be used for conformity testing.
6 Materials
6.1 General Detailed requirements for the control of materials are specified in Annex B.
6.2 Natural corn emery, complying with the grading specified in Table 1. This shall be used only once.

Technische Universität München (TUM), MPA Bau – Abteilung Baustoffe, Baumbachstrasse 7, 81245 München,
Germany.
NOTE 2 An alternative source of PSV control stone with a mean PSV value in the range 50 to 60 can be used
provided the PSV value has been established in a controlled experiment carried out in at least ten laboratories, by
cross testing against the TUM type control stone.
In case of dispute, the TUM type control stone should be used.
6.5 Friction tester reference stone, from a recognized source, for conditioning new sliders (Annex E)
and checking the friction tester (11.3), with a mean PSV value in the range 60 to 65.
NOTE 1 At present, the only recognized source of friction tester reference stone is a stock of olivine basalt
aggregate controlled by WESSEX, United Kingdom.
NOTE 2 An alternative source of friction tester reference stone with a mean PSV value in the range 60 to 65 can
be used provided the PSV value has been established in a controlled experiment carried out in at least 10
laboratories, by cross testing against the WESSEX type friction tester reference stone.
In case of dispute, the WESSEX type friction tester reference stone should be used.
7 Apparatus
7.1 General
All apparatus, unless otherwise stated, shall conform to the general requirements of EN 932-5.
Additional requirements for calibration and control of the accelerated polishing machine and the
rubber-tyred wheels are given in Annex C.

7.2 Accelerated polishing machine
The polishing machine (Figure 1) shall be mounted on four adjustable levelling feet, placed at the
corners and secured on a firm, level base of stone or concrete. It shall include the following:
7.2.1 A wheel, referred to as the “road wheel”, having a flat periphery and clamping arrangements to
hold the aggregate specimens shown in Figure 2. It shall be of such a size and shape as to permit 14 of
the specimens described in Clause 8 to be clamped onto the periphery so as to form a surface of
aggregate particles (406 ± 3) mm in diameter and bounded by clamping rings (44,5 ± 0,5) mm apart.
−1
7.2.2 A means of rotating the road wheel about its own axis at a speed of (320 ± 5) min under test
conditions.
7.2.3 Two solid rubber-tyred wheels of (200 ± 3) mm diameter and with a width of (38 ± 2) mm. One
of these wheels shall be used exclusively with the corn emery and clearly marked as such, whereas the
other wheel shall be used exclusively with the emery flour and clearly marked as such. The surface of
the rubber tyres shall initially have a hardness of (69 ± 3) IRHD as specified in ISO 7619-2.
7.2.4 A lever arm and weight to bring the surface of the appropriate solid rubber-tyred wheel to bear
on the road wheel with a total free force of (725 ± 10) N. The solid rubber-tyred wheel shall be free to
rotate about its own axis, which shall be parallel with the axis of the road wheel, and the plane of
rotation of the tyre shall be in line with that of the road wheel.
The machine shall be accurately aligned so that the road wheel and either of the rubber-tyred wheels
shall be free to rotate without play in the bearings (C.2.4):
a) the planes of rotation of the two wheels in use shall be not more than 0,33° of arc out of parallel
(1 mm in 200 mm);
b) the planes of rotation through the centres of the two wheels in use shall be not more than 0,8 mm
apart.
7.2.5 Feed mechanism, identified as being for use with the rubber-tyred wheel marked for use with
the corn emery (7.2.3), to feed the corn emery (6.2) and water at the specified rates. The emery and
water shall be fed directly onto the road wheel near the point of contact with the rubber-tyred wheel.
NOTE Feeding the corn emery and water near the point of contact with the rubber-tyred wheel is usually
achieved using a nozzle into which water and emery mix. In such a case, instead of having a continuous emery
flow, emery clusters may form under capillary forces and discharge discontinuously near the point of contact with
the rubber-tyred wheel. To avoid this phenomenon, a possible solution would be to connect the water supply to
the lowest point of the nozzle (close to the road wheel).

7.2.6 Feed mechanism, identified as being for use with rubber-tyred wheel marked for the emery
flour (7.2.3), to feed the emery flour (6.3) and water continuously at the specified rates between the
rubber tyred-wheel and the road wheel.
NOTE Most feed mechanisms inject emery flour at the top of the rubber-tyred wheel and not at the contact
point with the road wheel. In this case, it is important to ensure that most emery is driven to the contact point
between the road wheel and the rubber-tyred wheel. For this purpose, some feed mechanisms incorporate a
disposable felt pad in contact with the rubber-tyred wheel to homogeneously spread and stick the emery flour
onto its tread. It is advised to change this felt pad every two tests.
7.2.7 A means of ensuring that the rubber-tyred wheels are not left under load when not running, to
prevent the risk of the tyre becoming deformed. When not in use, the rubber-tyred wheels should be
removed from the machine and stored as described in Annex C.
7.3 Friction tester
7.3.1 Calibration
Additional requirements for calibration and control of the friction tester, sliders and slider rubber are
given in Annex D.
7.3.2 Design
The friction test shall be carried out using the equipment shown in Figure 3 (see Note). All bearings and
working parts shall be enclosed as far as possible, and all materials used shall be treated to prevent
corrosion under wet conditions.

of suspension.
7.3.2.2 Means for setting the support column of the equipment vertical.
7.3.2.3 Means for rigidly locating one of the curved specimens from the accelerated polishing
machine, referred to as the “specimen holder”. The design shall allow sufficient movement between the
pendulum and this specimen holder to adjust their alignment so that the longer dimension of the
specimen lies in the track of the pendulum and it is central with respect to the rubber slider and to the
axis of suspension of the pendulum (11.4).

7.3.2.4 Means of raising and lowering the axis of suspension of the pendulum arm so that the slider
can:
a) swing clear of the surface of the specimen; and
b) be set to traverse a curved specimen over a length of (76 ± 1) mm.
7.3.2.5 Means of locking and releasing the pendulum arm so that it falls freely from a horizontal
position.
7.3.2.6 A pointer balanced about the axis of suspension, indicating the position of the pendulum
arm throughout its forward swing and moving over the circular scale. The mass of the pointer shall be
not more than 85 g. The friction in the pointer mechanism shall be adjustable so that, with the
pendulum arm swinging freely from a horizontal position, the outward tip of a nominal 300 mm long
pointer may be brought to rest on the forward swing of the arm at a point 10 mm below the horizontal.
7.3.2.7 A circular test scale (F scale) for curved specimens with a 76 mm sliding length, marked
from 0 to 100 and calibrated at intervals of two units.
NOTE A circular calibration scale for a sliding length of 126 mm on a flat surface can also be incorporated
into the friction tester, as shown in Figure 3. It is not needed for this test method.
7.3.2.8 The mass of the pendulum arm, including the slider, shall be (1,50 ± 0,03) kg. The centre of
gravity shall lie on the axis of the arm at a distance of (410 ± 2) mm from the axis of suspension.
7.3.2.9 The slider shall consist of a rubber pad (31,75 ± 0,50) mm wide by (25,4 ± 1,0) mm long (in
the direction of swing) and (6,35 ± 0,5) mm thick. This shall be held on a rigid base with a central
pivoting axis and the combined mass of the slider and base shall be (20 ± 5) g. The slider assembly shall
be mounted on the end of the pendulum arm in such a way that when the trailing edge of the slider is in
contact with a horizontal flat surface placed at the lowest point permitted by the arm swing, the plane of
the slider is angled at (26 ± 3)° to this surface (Figure 4).
NOTE In this configuration, the slider can turn about its axis without obstruction to follow unevenness of the
surface of the specimen as the pendulum swings.
7.3.2.10 The slider shall be spring-loaded against the test surface. The nominal static force on the
slider as set by the equipment calibration procedure defined in Annex D shall be (22,2 ± 0,5) N in its
median position. The change in the static force on the slider shall be not greater than 0,2 N/mm
deflection of the slider.
