Description
The AZA0971 Length Gauge helps identify undesirable elongated aggregate particles (length > 1.8 × mean particle size), which can negatively affect compaction, mechanical interlock, and load-bearing performance in concrete and pavement structures.
When used together with a thickness gauge, this system provides a complete aggregate shape index evaluation solution, improving overall material quality control for highways, bridges, airfields, and structural concrete works.
Applications
- Coarse aggregate shape analysis
- Road and highway material quality control
- Ready-mix concrete plant testing
- Construction site material inspection
- Academic and research laboratories

FAQ
Q1: What is the elongation index?
It is the percentage by weight of particles whose length exceeds 1.8 times their mean sieve size.
Q2: Why is this test important?
Elongated particles reduce concrete strength, compaction, and long-term durability.
Q3: Can AZA0971 be used alone?
It measures elongation, but it is recommended to use it along with a thickness gauge for complete shape index testing.
Q4: Is it suitable for field work?
Yes, the robust and portable design makes it ideal for both laboratory and site use.
Q5: How is the test performed?
Aggregates are passed through the standard slots, elongated particles are separated, weighed, and used to calculate the elongation index.
