Coarse aggregates are particles greater than 4.75mm, but generally range between 9.5mm to 37.5mm in diameter. They can either be from Primary, Secondary or Recycled sources. Primary, or ‘virgin’, aggregates are either Land- or Marine-Won. Gravel is a coarse marine-won
To Determine Aggregate Impact value of Aggregate – Concrete Practical
Aggregate is a granular material obtained by processing natural materials. BS882 splits aggregate into coarse and fine elements, coarse being described as gravel or crushed rock and fine being described as sand.Aggregate consists of particles of a rock, of a
To determine Strength of Concrete by using Flexure Test – Concrete Practical
Concrete is an ancient material of construction, first used during the Roman Empire. Concrete today is a sophisticated material to which exotic (foreign) constituents can be added and, with computer-controlled batching, can produce a product capable of achieving 50,000 psi compressive strength.
To find the Overall Efficiency of a Centrifugal Pump – Hydraulics Practical
Centrifugal pumps are used to induce flow or raise pressure of a liquid. Its working is simple. At the heart of the system lies impeller. It has a series of curved vanes fitted inside the shroud plates. The impeller is
To compare Actual and Theoretical force for stationary object of different shapes – Hydraulics Practical
At a very basic level, hydraulics is the liquid version of pneumatics. Fluid mechanics provides the theoretical foundation for hydraulics, which focuses on the engineering uses of fluid properties. In fluid power, hydraulics are used for the generation, control, and
To find Efficiency of a Reciprocating Pump-Hydraulics Practical
Reciprocating pump is a positive plunger pump. They are used widely in lifting water from ground to the storage tanks in residential areas. They develop high pressures but has limited use. Reciprocating pump consists of “suction stroke” and a “delivery
To find efficiency of a Pelton Wheel Turbine – Hydraulics Practical
In a Pelton Turbine or Pelton Wheel water jets impact on the blades of the turbine making the wheel rotate, producing torque and power. Learn more about design, analysis, working principle and applications of Pelton Wheel Turbine.Hydraulic Turbines are being
To Determine Cube Strength of Concrete – Concrete Practical
Concrete is a composite material composed of coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement which hardens over time. Most concretes used are lime-based concretes such as Portland cement concrete or concretes made with other hydraulic cements, such as ciment
To perform Rockwell hardness test on given Specimen -Mechanical Practical
The Rockwell hardness test method is the most commonly used hardness test method. The Rockwell method measures the permanent depth of indentation produced by a force/load on an indenter. The Rockwell scale is a hardness scale based on indentation hardness
To study Window type Air Conditioner (AC) – Mechanical Practical
Air conditioning (or AC) is the process of altering the properties of air, primarily temperature and humidity, to more comfortable conditions.In common use, an air conditioner is a device that lowers the air temperature and Window type air conditioners are one of the most
