General Application: Aggregate Testing
Usage/Application: Laboratory (Lab)
Phase: Manual
Physical Material: Stainless Steel (SS)
Color: Silver
Purpose Used to determine the flakiness index of aggregates
Helps identify flaky or elongated aggregates that may reduce concrete workability and affect long-term durability
Detects flaky aggregates that can cause harsh mixes and potential cracking during compaction
Apparatus Included Metal Thickness Gauge with specified aperture widths for flakiness testing.
Special Sieves with elongated apertures as specified.
BS Standard Test Sieves (as required for aggregate size classification)
Balance with accuracy up to 0.5% of the mass of the test sample.
The Flakiness Gauge for the classification of aggregate is a tool that is used in a laboratory. It is made of stainless steel and is used to work out ...
