Abstract

The polished stone value (PSV) of a coarse aggregate indicates its ability to resist the polishing action of tires. In the measurement tests of PSV of coarse aggregates, due to the complicated process, artificial factors or instrumental performances may cause measurement deviations. In order to explore the influences of instrumental factors, based on the features and working principle of a pendulum friction coefficient tester, the main influencing factors were firstly analyzed and then experimentally verified through measuring PSV of andesite and basalt. With the one-variable linear regression method, the testing data were fitted in order to determine the variations of the PSV of coarse aggregates with the hardness of rubber strip used in the slider block and the axial deformation distance of the slider block corresponding to the maximum positive static pressure on the tested surface. With the increase in the hardness of rubber strip, the measured PSV increased. With the increase in the axial deformation distance of slider block corresponding to the maximum positive static pressure on the tested surface, the measured PSV decreased. The quantitative analysis of the factors affecting PSV can improve its determination accuracy.
