8、application This standard specifies a method for determining the flakiness index of coarse aggregate that passes a sieve of aperture size 75 mm and that is retained on a sieve of aperture size 4 750 m. NOTE The flakiness index is a measure of the flatness of an aggregate, which has an effect on most
9、 of its uses in the construction industry. The flakiness index is the mass of particles in the aggregate (expressed as a percentage of the total mass of the aggregate test sample) that will pass slots of specified width for the appropriate size fraction of the aggregate. 2 Normative references The f

16、 0,10 mm. 4 Procedure 4.1 From the sample to be tested (see SANS 197), weigh out a test specimen of such quantity that, for each fraction size to be gauged, the minimum mass prescribed in column 5 of table 1 will be available. The test specimen should be weighed out to the nearest 0,1 % of its mass
17、(basing the size of portions to be gauged on the actual fraction sizes present in the test sample). 4.2 Carry out a grading analysis in accordance with SANS 201, separating the aggregate into the relevant fraction sizes given in table 1 and discarding fraction sizes that constitute less than 10 % of
18、 the total mass of the test specimen. Record, to the nearest 0,1 %, the percentage (a), retained on each sieve. 4.3 From the fraction sizes separated in the grading analysis, take at least the minimum mass specified in column 5 of table 1 for each fraction size. Determine, to an accuracy of 0,2 % of
19、 its mass, the mass of each fraction to be gauged. 4.4 Gauge pieces in each fraction size (using the corresponding slot given in table 1), and determine the mass, to the same accuracy, of each quantity that passes through the appropriate individual slots.
