Flakiness & Elongation Gauge

Product Details :

1.     Sieve the sample through the IS sieves (as specified in the table).

2.     Take a minimum of 200 pieces of each fraction to be tested and weigh them.

3.     To separate the flaky materials, gauge each fraction for thickness on a thickness gauge. The width of the slot used should be of the dimensions specified in column (4) of the table for the appropriate size of the material.

4.     Weigh the flaky material passing the gauge to an accuracy of at least 0.1 per cent of the test sample.

5.     To separate the elongated materials, gauge each fraction for length on a length gauge. The width of the slot used should be of the dimensions specified in column (6) of the table for the appropriate size of the material.

6.     Weigh the elongated material retained on the gauge to an accuracy of at least 0.1 per cent of the test sample.
