Flakiness and elongation Apparatus
Flakiness and elongation are properties used to describe the shape of aggregate particles in construction materials, particularly in civil engineering for concrete, asphalt, and road base applications. These properties are critical because they affect the workability, strength, and durability of the final material.

Discription
BE 53-01 | Flakiness/ Thickness Gauge |
BE 53-02 | ELONGATION/LENGTH GAUGE |
Key Components Include
BE 53-01 | Flakiness/ Thickness Gauge |
BE 53-02 | ELONGATION/LENGTH GAUGE |
FLAKINESS/THICKNESS GAUGE
Definition: Flakiness refers to the tendency of an aggregate particle to be flat or thin, where one dimension (usually thickness) is significantly smaller than the other two dimensions (length and width).
ELONGATION/LENGTH GAUGE
Definition: Elongation refers to the tendency of an aggregate particle to be long and slender, where one dimension (usually length) is significantly larger than the other two (width and thickness).
