Standard Method of Test for

Resistance to Degradation of Small-Size


Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion and Impact
in the Los Angeles Machine
AASHTO Designation: T 96-22
Technically Revised: 2022

Technical Subcommittee: 1c, Aggregates


ASTM Designation: C131-01

AASHTO T 96-22 is identical to ASTM C131-01 except for the following provisions:
1. All references to the ASTM standards contained in ASTM C131-01, listed in the following
table, shall be replaced with the corresponding AASHTO standard.

Referenced Standards
ASTM AASHTO
C136/C136M T 27
C702/C702M R 76
D75/D75M R 90

2. Add references in Section 2 for AASHTO.


 M 231, Weighing Devices Used in the Testing of Materials
 M 339M/M 339, Thermometers Used in the Testing of Construction Materials

3. Add references in Section 2 for ASTM standards.


 E1, Standard Specification for ASTM Liquid‐in‐Glass Thermometers
 E230/E230M, Standard Specification for Temperature‐Electromotive Force (emf) Tables
for Standardized Thermocouples
 E2877, Standard Guide for Digital Contact Thermometers

4. Add references in Section 2 for International Electrotechnical Commission standard.


 IEC 60584‐1:2013, Thermocouples ‐ Part 1: EMF Specifications and Tolerances

5. Add a new Section after Section 3.1 of ASTM C131-01 as follows:


3.2 DESCRIPTION OF TERMS
Constant Mass—Test sample dried at a temperature of 110 ± 5°C (230 ± 9°F) to a condition
such that it will not lose more than 0.1 percent moisture after an additional 2 h of drying at
110 ± 5°C (230 ± 9°F). Such a condition of dryness can be verified by determining the mass
of the sample before and after successive 2-h drying periods. In lieu of such a determination,
samples may be considered to have reached constant mass when they have been dried at a

temperature of 110 ± 5°C (230 ± 9°F) for an equal or longer period than that previously found
adequate for producing the desired constant mass condition under equal or heavier loading
conditions of the oven.

6. Add to the first sentence in Section 6.1 of ASTM C131-01 as follows:


…machine “equipped with a counter and” conforming…
Also replace the seventh sentence of this section as follows:
“A removable steel shelf shall extend along the length of the cylinder to within 5 mm (0.2 in.)
of the full inside length of the cylinder, project inward 89 ± 2 mm (3.5 ± 0.1 in.) and shall be
mounted on the interior cylindrical surface of the cylinder, or on the inside surface of the
cover, in such a way that a plane centered between the large faces coincides with an axial
plane.”
Also, the third from the last sentence of Section 6.1 of ASTM C131-01 is not included in
AASHTO T 96-22.

7. Changes to Figure 1 of ASTM C131-01 are as follows:


a. The phrase “NOT LESS THAN 1270 mm MEASURED ON OUTSIDE OF DRUM” is not
included in AASHTO T 96-22.
b. The steel wall thickness shall be changed from “12.7 mm THICK” to “12.7 ± 3.2 mm
(1/2 ± 1/8 in.) THICK.”

8. Add the following after Note 2 in ASTM C131-01:


“NOTE—Due to its mass, the location of the shelf relative to the opening influences the “at
rest” position of the opening. The shelf location should be chosen to provide a convenient
position of the opening to facilitate the loading of aggregate and spheres and to avoid impact
of the charge on the cover.”

9. Add the following new section after Section 6.3 of ASTM C131-01:
“6.4 Oven—The oven shall be capable of maintaining a uniform temperature of 110 ± 5°C
(230 ± 9°F). Oven(s) for heating and drying shall be capable of operation at the temperatures
required, between 100 to 120°C (212 to 248°F), within ±5°C (±9°F), as corrected, if
necessary, by standardization. More than one oven may be used, provided each is used within
its proper operating temperature range. The thermometer for measuring the temperature,
regardless of drying apparatus used, shall meet the requirements of M 339M/M 339 with a
temperature range of at least 90 to 130°C (194 to 266°F), and an accuracy of ±1.25°C
(±2.25°F) (see Note 1).

Note 1—Thermometer types suitable for use include ASTM E1 mercury thermometers;
ASTM E2877 digital metal stem thermometer; ASTM E230/E230M thermocouple
thermometer, Type J or K, Special Class, Type T any Class; IEC 60584 thermocouple
thermometer, Type J or K, Class 1, Type T any Class; or dial gauge metal stem (bi-metal)
thermometer.”

10. Replace Section 6.3 of ASTM C131-01 with the following:


“Balance—The balance shall conform to AASHTO M 231, Class G 5.”
