Product Description
Flakiness Test Gauges
Specification :
Flakiness Test Gauges 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. Flakiness Test Gauges 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.
Exceptional Build for Accurate Aggregate TestingConstructed from high-grade stainless steel, our Flakiness Test Gauges offer excellent durability and a smooth, polished finish for easy handling and long-lasting service. Their design ensures precise flakiness index determination, crucial for analyzing aggregate shape characteristics in laboratories.
Compliance and Versatility You Can TrustFully compliant with IS 2386 (Part I), these manual gauges are trusted by laboratories, manufacturers, distributors, suppliers, and traders across India. Their robust and versatile features cater to a variety of aggregate testing needs, making them suitable for both routine testing and quality assurance applications.
FAQs of Flakiness Test Gauges:
Q: How is the Flakiness Test Gauge used to determine the aggregate flakiness index?
A: The Flakiness Test Gauge is used by manually passing aggregates through specified slots on the gauge. Aggregates that pass through the slots are classified as flaky, allowing the determination of the flakiness index, which is essential for evaluating aggregate shape and suitability for construction.
Q: What materials are the Flakiness Test Gauges made from?
A: These gauges are manufactured using premium stainless steel, providing robust structural integrity and resistance to corrosion, which is particularly important for laboratory environments handling diverse aggregate samples.
Q: When should laboratories use Flakiness Test Gauges?
A: Laboratories should use Flakiness Test Gauges during routine aggregate quality control tests, particularly when assessing materials for construction projects to ensure compliance with standards and optimal performance of the aggregates.
Q: Where are Flakiness Test Gauges commonly supplied and exported from?
A: Flakiness Test Gauges are distributed, exported, and supplied by authorized manufacturers and traders throughout India, supporting construction and research laboratories regionally and internationally.
Q: What is the process for operating these Flakiness Test Gauges manually?
A: Manual operation requires the user to pass aggregate particles through the polished gauge slots. The process is straightforward, with each particle checked against slot dimensions as per IS 2386 (Part I) compliance, ensuring accuracy in flakiness index calculation.
Q: What are the benefits of using a smooth polished finish Flakiness Test Gauge?
A: A smooth polished finish ensures ease of cleaning and prevents sample contamination, while also enhancing durability. This finish supports consistent, accurate testing results and extends the lifespan of the gauge in high-frequency laboratory environments.
