Type of test The objectives of tests on road construction materials

Ten Percent Fine Value Test (BS 812:Part 111:1990)
• To determine the load needs to crush the aggregate with 10 percent fine

• Sample is prepared similar to ACV test, then apply the expected load that could
produce ten percent fine.

• Calculate the exact percentage of fine and calculate the exact load using the following
formula provided the fine is the range of 7.5 to 12.5%

TFV = 14f
4 + y

Mould and rods for ACV and TFV Test

Where : f = Load applied

y = Percent Crushed
