Sub-Category: PARTICLE SHAPE


  • The Aggregate Shape Gauge is designed to determine the shape index of coarse aggregate particles by assessing the ratio of length to thickness.
  • This evaluation is essential for understanding aggregate shape characteristics, which can significantly influence the mechanical properties and durability of construction materials.
  • The gauge facilitates the classification of individual particles, identifying those with a length-to-thickness ratio exceeding 3:1, which are considered elongated.
  • Constructed from durable steel, the device ensures longevity and compliance with international testing standards.
  • The shape index is calculated as the mass percentage of elongated particles relative to the total dry mass of the sample.

STANDARDS

EN 933-4
