Flakiness and Elongation Test Gauges
Model CCTE0034
Aggregates which are flaky and/or elongated will often
lower the work ability of a concrete mix and may also affect long term
durability. In bituminous mixtures, flaky aggregates make for a harsh mix and
may also crack and break up during compacting by rolling. The flakiness of
aggregate is determined by measuring the thickness of individual particles.
Hence we offer thickness gauge and length gauge to check flakiness and
elongation index of the aggregate respectively.
