As Per IS 2386 (P-I)
Specification :
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. The 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.
