Length Gauge
The Length Gauge, also known as the Elongation Gauge, is manufactured in accordance with IS: 2386 Part II and is used to determine the elongation index of coarse aggregates. This device is essential for evaluating the particle shape characteristics of aggregates used in construction, roadwork, and concrete applications.
The apparatus consists of a precision-engineered metal plate on which eight steel pins are mounted vertically at accurately specified distances. These fixed openings allow quick and reliable measurement of aggregate particle length. The entire assembly is fitted on a hardwood base, ensuring superior stability, durability, and long-term performance in laboratory conditions.
Designed for accuracy and ease of use, the Length Gauge helps engineers, quality control teams, and material testing labs assess aggregate quality to ensure compliance with Indian Standard specifications.
