Thickness Gauge

BS 812-105.1

Thickness Gauge is used to determine if the aggregate particles are to be considered as flaky, i.e. their thickness is less than 0.6 of their nominal size.

The aggregate to be classified is separated into seven sieve fractions from 6.3 to 63 mm, and each fraction is examined separately. Slot sizes are 4.9 x 30 mm, 7.2 x 40 mm, 10.2 x 50 mm, 14.4 x 60 mm, 19.7 x 80 mm, 26.3 x 90 mm and 33.9 x 100 mm.
