Aggregate Testing in Qassim — Local Aggregate Classification for Development Projects
Qassim's local aggregate from western and northern mountain quarries varies in quality, and large-scale imports from distant sources require verification before use. The most common defect found in sandy-region aggregate: clay lumps and friable particles that reduce concrete and asphalt performance. ASAS Lab performs sieve analysis, LA abrasion, density and absorption, and clay lump/friable particle testing. SASO GSO 1992 compliance certificates accepted by Qassim Municipality and MODON industrial authorities.

FAQ About Aggregate Testing
For concrete: gradation (ASTM C136), specific gravity & absorption (ASTM C127/C128), clay lumps (ASTM C142), and abrasion resistance (ASTM C131). Asphalt additionally requires magnesium sulfate soundness (ASTM C88).
