The flakiness of aggregate is determined by measuring the thickness of individual particles. We offer both a thickness gauge and length gauge to check the flakiness index and elongation index of the aggregate respectively

Aggregates that are flaky and/or elongated will often lower the workability 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.
