Aggregate Shape Length Measuring Apparatus Flakiness Index Tester Elongation Index Tester Coarse Aggregate Needle Flake Gauge ASTM D4791 Stainless Steel OEM Supported

The aggregate shape length measuring apparatus (flakiness & elongation index tester) is specifically designed to determine the particle shape characteristics of coarse aggregates. It consists of a thickness gauge (flakiness gauge) and a length gauge (elongation gauge). The thickness gauge identifies flaky particles (thickness <0.6× mean dimension), while the length gauge identifies elongated particles (length >1.8× mean dimension). During testing, sieved coarse aggregate particles are individually passed through standard slots or between pins, and the weight of particles passing each gauge is measured to calculate the flakiness index and elongation index. The apparatus complies with ASTM D4791 and BS 812-105.1/105.2, is made of stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability. It features multiple standard slots (covering 4.75mm–53mm size fractions) and precise pin spacing. Widely used in highway engineering, railway ballast, concrete quality control, hydropower projects, and construction material research. It is an essential tool for evaluating the influence of aggregate particle shape on concrete workability and strength. OEM customization supported.

This apparatus is designed per international standards to quickly assess the particle shape of coarse aggregates by determining flaky and elongated particle content. Key features:

  • Two‑in‑one design: One unit performs both flakiness and elongation tests, saving cost and lab space

  • Standardized slots: Thickness gauge with slots for each size fraction (4.75/9.5/13.2/16/19/26.5/31.5/37.5/53mm); a particle that passes through is classified as flaky

  • Precision pin spacing: Length gauge with pins spaced at 1.8× the mean dimension of each fraction; a particle passing between pins is classified as elongated

  • Stainless steel construction: 304 stainless steel gauge plates and pins, rust‑treated for durability

  • Compatible with standard sieves: Used together with square‑hole sieves for complete particle shape analysis

  • Simple operation: Manual individual particle testing, no complex training required

  • Compliant with international standards: Meets ASTM D4791, BS 812‑105.1/105.2, EN 933‑4

Test procedure: Sieve the coarse aggregate sample into size fractions. Pass each fraction through the corresponding slot of the thickness gauge; particles that pass are flaky. The remaining particles are then passed through the pin spacing of the length gauge; those that pass are elongated. Weigh and calculate flakiness index and elongation index (as percentages).
