THICKNESS GAUGE (Flakiness Index) (R032)

Category: Aggregate

Product Code: R032

Category: AGGREGATE

Sub-Category: PARTICLE SHAPE

  • The Thickness Gauge is utilized to assess the flakiness index of aggregate particles, identifying those with a thickness less than 0.6 times their mean sieve size.
  • This evaluation is essential for determining the suitability of aggregates in construction applications, as flaky particles can adversely affect the strength and durability of concrete and asphalt mixtures.
  • The gauge features seven precision-cut slots, each corresponding to specific sieve size ranges, facilitating accurate and efficient classification of aggregate samples.
  • Constructed from heavy-gauge steel, the device ensures durability and compliance with BS 812-105.1 standards, providing reliable performance in laboratory settings.
