Los Angeles Abrasion Machine, Micro-Deval, Polishing & Friction Equipment

Mechanical durability and friction are method-specific. LS-LA-12 combines impact and abrasion in a rotating drum; LS-MDV-4C100 uses wet abrasion in four stainless cylinders; LS-PSV-14 conditions mounted specimens by accelerated polishing; and LS-BPT-126 measures surface-friction response after preparation or conditioning.

Select by Failure Mechanism

Fragmentation & Abrasion

Choose LS-LA-12 to measure mass loss caused by impact, abrasion, and degradation inside a rotating drum.

Wet Micro-Deval Abrasion

Choose LS-MDV-4C100 for simultaneous wet-abrasion conditioning in up to four stainless cylinders.

Surface Polishing

Choose LS-PSV-14 when pavement-surface friction retention and polished-stone performance are the target properties.

Pendulum Friction

Choose LS-BPT-126 when the workflow requires a portable 126 mm pendulum slide over prepared specimens or pavement surfaces.

Compliance & Standards

All products in the Abrasion, Polishing & Surface Friction category comply with international testing standards including:

ASTM Standards

EN Standards

AASHTO Standards

BS Standards

ISO Standards

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Los Angeles and Micro-Deval use different degradation mechanisms and conditioning environments. Accelerated polishing prepares mounted specimens, while a pendulum tester measures surface-friction response; each method needs its own procedure and reporting basis.
