This document (EN 1097-1:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 154 “Aggregates”,
the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2024, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2024.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 1097-1:2011.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
a) The European foreword, the Scope, the Terms and definitions and the Test report content have been
updated according to the current rules;
b) Lightweight aggregates have been included in the Scope;
c) The Normative references have been extended with EN 933-2, and ISO 3290-1 has been moved to
the Bibliography;
d) The definition of M or M has been added in Clause 3;
DE DE,RB
e) In Clause 5, the description of the micro-Deval apparatus has been clarified. In addition, the
requirement on steel balls to comply with ISO 3290-1 has been deleted since it was too sharp
compared with the specified diameter tolerance. A new Note with reference to ISO 3290-1 has been
added. A new Note about the hardness of steel ball diameters has been added. Two optional
apparatus, a gauge and a magnet, have been added;
f) In the test procedure, amount of water is expressed in mass instead of volume. Subsequently,
EN ISO 4788 Laboratory glassware has been deleted from Clause 2, Graduated glass cylinder has
been deleted from Clause 5 Apparatus, and B.2 Apparatus has been deleted;
g) The formulae for calculation of M and M have included the actual initial masses instead of
DE DE,RB
500 g resp. 10 000 g;
h) The tested size fraction of the aggregate has been moved from optional data to required data;
i) Annex A has been completed to contain full text, not only the clauses expressing additions or
modifications to main text clauses. Formula (A.1) has been changed and instructions to report the
mean value have been added in A.6;
j) In Annex C, the term “range classification” has been replaced by the term “size fraction”;
k) New informative Annexes D and E have been added and specify methods for determination of the
wear of fine aggregates.
l) In addition, the Principle and Annex C have been simplified and the Bibliography has been
supplemented.

4 Principle
A test portion of a single-sized aggregate, 10 mm to 14 mm, is rotated together with steel balls and water
in a steel drum. The contents roll within the drum with an abrading action. After the specified number of
revolutions, the contents are removed from the drum and the test portion is sieved on the 1,6 mm sieve.
The micro-Deval coefficient expresses the wear after completion of the test as the mass percentage of the
test portion passing the 1,6 mm sieve.
NOTE A lower value of the micro-Deval coefficient indicates a better resistance to wear.
5 Apparatus
Unless otherwise stated, all apparatus shall conform to the general requirements of EN 932-5.
5.1 General apparatus
5.1.1 Equipment for reducing laboratory samples, as specified in EN 932-2.

the mass of the test specimen.
5.1.3 Test sieves, 1,6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 11,2 mm (or 12,5 mm) and 14 mm, which shall conform to
EN 933-2.
5.1.4 Ventilated oven, controlled to maintain a temperature of (110 ± 5) °C.

closed by flat lids at least 8 mm thick and fitted with watertight and dust tight seals.
The drums shall have an internal diameter of (200 ± 1) mm and an internal length measured from the
base to the inside of the lid of (154 ± 1) mm. The inner surface of the drums shall be free of protrusions
resulting from welding or the method of attachment.
The drums shall be placed on two fixed shafts which rotate about a horizontal axis.
5.2.1.2 Abrasive charge, consisting of steel balls (10,0 ± 0,5) mm in diameter.
NOTE 1 The lower limit of deviation is a working tolerance limit. The upper limit of deviation is a manufacturing
tolerance limit.
NOTE 2 Steel bearing balls compliant with ISO 3290-1 [1] are also compliant with this document.
NOTE 3 Steel ball diameter can be checked quickly by passing the balls over parallel bars 9,5 mm apart.
NOTE 4 A hardness of the steel balls between HRC 52 and HRC 67 is suitable.
5.2.1.3 Motor, imparting a rotational speed to the drums of (100 ± 5) r/min.
NOTE A motor capacity of about 1 kW is suitable.

5.2.3 Magnet (optional), for removal of the steel balls from the aggregate test specimen after abrasion.
6 Preparation of test portion
The test portion shall consist of two test specimens, each having a mass of (500 ± 3) g. Record the mass,
m , for each test specimen.
NOTE Alternative size fractions d /D for certain end uses are specified in Annex C. Testing other size fractions
0 0
can produce results different from those obtained using the 10/14 mm size fraction.
The test shall be carried out on aggregate passing the 14 mm sieve and retained on the 10 mm sieve. In
addition, the grading of the test portion shall conform to at least one of the following requirements:
a) between 30 % and 40 % passing a 11,2 mm sieve; or
b) between 60 % and 70 % passing a 12,5 mm sieve.
Sieve the laboratory sample using the 10 mm, 11,2 mm (or 12,5 mm) and 14 mm sieves to give separate
fractions in the range 10 mm to 11,2 mm (or 12,5 mm) and 11,2 mm (or 12,5 mm) to 14 mm.
Wash each fraction on the sieve defining the lower limit of the size fraction. Dry the fractions to constant
mass at (110 ± 5) °C.
Allow the fractions to cool to ambient temperature. Mix the two fractions to provide a modified 10 mm
to 14 mm laboratory sample which complies with the appropriate additional grading requirements given
in paragraph 2 of this clause.
Reduce the modified laboratory sample prepared from the mixed fractions to test portion size in
accordance with EN 932-2.
It is also acceptable to directly reduce the mass of each individual size fraction to the required mass in
the test specimen.
7 Test procedure
Place a charge of steel balls (5 000 ± 5) g into each of the two separate drums. Then, add a test specimen
to each drum.
Add (2,50 ± 0,05) kg of water to each drum.
Fit a lid to each drum and place each drum on the two shafts.
Rotate the drums at a speed of (100 ± 5) r/min for (12 000 ± 10) revolutions.
After the test, collect the aggregate and the steel balls in a pan, taking care to avoid the loss of any
aggregate. Using a washing bottle, carefully wash the inside of the drum and the lid, and retain the
washings.
Empty the material and all the washings on to the 1,6 mm sieve protected by an 8 mm guard sieve. Wash
the materials in a stream of clean water.
Carefully separate the aggregate particles retained on the 8 mm guard sieve from the steel balls, taking
care not to lose any aggregate particles. The aggregate particles may be picked out by hand, or the balls
may be removed from the sieve using a magnet.
Place the aggregate particles retained on the 8 mm guard sieve onto a tray. Add the material retained on
the 1,6 mm sieve to the same tray.
Dry the tray and its contents in the oven at (
