LA Abrasion Test

Total weight before(g) 5000

Weight of tray (g) 207.3
Weight of retain + tray (g) 3821.5
Weight of retain(dry) + tray (g) 3806.7
Weight of retain (g) 3599.4
Weight passing (g) 1400.6

Calculation

Weight Loss = (Weight of Sample before abrasion) - (Weight of sample after abrasion)

= 5000- 3599.4

= 1400.6 g
