Thickness Gauge (Flakiness Index)

Category:

Standards: BS 812-105.1

  • 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.

Slot Sizes (W x L):

    • 4.9 x 30 mm
    • 7.2 x 40 mm
    • 10.2 x 50 mm
    • 14.4 x 60 mm
    • 19.7 x 80 mm
    • 26.3 x 90 mm
    • 33.9 x 100 mm

Material: Heavy-gauge steel with powder-coating

  • CM 0164: Thickness Gauge (Flakiness Index)
