Slake Durability Apparatus
Standard:
ASTM D4644
Description:
Rock Slake Durability Apparatus has been developed to assess the durability of rock to weakening and disintegration when subjected to the simulated effects of climatic slaking.Rock Testing Equipment
Slake durability is a simulated weathering test to determine abrasion resistance during wetting and drying cycles of shale and similar soft rocks as used in embankments and other construction-related applications. Samples are alternately tumbled in mesh drums through a water medium and oven-dried for two cycles. The percent loss of mass is referred to as the slake durability index Rock Testing Equipment
