Product Code: R034

Category: AGGREGATE

Sub-Category: PARTICLE SHAPE


  • The Length Gauge is designed to determine the elongation index of coarse aggregates, identifying particles whose length exceeds 1.8 times their mean sieve size.
  • This evaluation is critical in assessing aggregate shape characteristics, which can significantly influence the mechanical properties and durability of construction materials.
  • The gauge comprises six precisely spaced pins mounted on a robust base, facilitating accurate measurement across various aggregate size fractions.
  • Designed for ease of use in laboratory settings, the device ensures compliance with BS 812-105.2 standards, providing reliable performance for quality control and research applications.
