Services
Kivi-Labra Oy offers laboratory services for stone material and aggregate producers as a way to control the quality of the product.
In order to steer the production and to ensure the right quality of the stone aggregate product, laboratory services are needed. Quality control during production is a fast, simple, reliable and an inexpensive research method.
In our geotechnical laboratory the measurements are conducted in accordance with the national building code of Finland or in accordance to the European norms. The classification and identification of soils are conducted according to GEO- or ISO-EN standards.
PANK
The advisory board for the pavement industry (PANK ry) specifies the standards for rock- and asphalt materials and aggregates. With a PANK-approval we are qualified to perform and carry out measurements and tests approved by PANK and SFS-EN standards.
We are PANK-approved once every year in order to ensure that our methods and systems are reliable and up-to-date. In addition, we perform comparison tests and measurements with other laboratories in western Finland to guarantee the quality of our geotechnical work.
We are qualified to perform following tests:
SFS-EN 932-1
Tests for general properties of aggregates. Part 1: Methods for sampling.
SFS-EN 932-2
Tests for general properties of aggregates. Part 2: Methods for reducing laboratory samples.
SFS-EN 933-1
Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates. Part 1: Determination of particle size distribution. Sieving method.
SFS-EN 933-3
Tests for geometrical properties of aggregates. Part 3: Determination of particle shape. Flakiness index.
SFS-EN 1097-9
Tests for mechanical and physical properties of aggregates. Part 9: Determination of the resistance to wear by abrasion from studded tyres. Nordic test.
