About Flakiness Sieve Set
Specification:
BS 812-105.1
Aggregate particles are considered as flaky when their thickness is less than 0.6 of their mean sieve size. Aggregate to be classified is separated into seven sieve fractions from 6.3 to 63 mm and each fraction is examined separately. The dimensions of each sieve comply with the relevant international standard, manufactured from heavy gauge steel sheet and coated with electrostatic paint.
The accuracy of the slot size is better than 0.1 mm.
Flakiness index sieve set consists of 7 sieves.
For sample preparations 6.3, 10, 14, 20, 28, 37.5, 50 and 63 mm aperture sizes test sieves should be ordered seperately.

Engineered for Reliable PerformanceEach Flakiness Sieve Set features precisely machined slots and a high-quality steel construction (approx. 60 HRC hardness) that ensures long-lasting usage in demanding laboratory or field conditions. The polished or coated finish resists corrosion for sustained accuracy and physique, allowing repeated use without compromising measurement integrity. Stackable trays and a portable design deliver easy handling and storage.
Wide Test Range and ComplianceThe sieve slots cover a standardized aperture range (6.3mm to 50mm), making the set suitable for determining the flakiness index of aggregate specimens in line with IS: 2386 Part I specifications. The resolution and accuracy of the slots facilitate instant manual sorting and reliable test outcomes, whether in a laboratory or onsite aggregate assessment.
Ease of Use and MaintenanceManual operation allows effortless control and sorting during the testing process. Aggregates can be quickly washed and the slots cleaned due to the set's washable construction. Accessories such as a carrying case add further convenience for transportation, making this equipment a favorite for manufacturers, suppliers, and testing professionals.
FAQ's of Flakiness Sieve Set:
Q: How do I use the Flakiness Sieve Set to determine the flakiness index of aggregates?
A: To determine the flakiness index, aggregate coarse particles are manually sorted through the seven precision sieve slots, each sized as per IS: 2386 Part I standards. Count and weigh particles retained and passing through each slot to evaluate the percentage of flaky aggregates.
Q: What materials are used in the construction of the Flakiness Sieve Set and why?
A: The sieve slots are made from stainless steel or brass and mounted on a sturdy steel frame. This combination imparts high strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, essential for accuracy and longevity in aggregate testing applications.
Q: When should I use this equipment and in what environments is it suitable?
A: The Flakiness Sieve Set is ideal for use whenever you need to assess the quality of coarse aggregates in construction, sampling, or research. Its robust design allows for both laboratory and field testing under ambient temperature and humidity conditions.
Q: Where can I purchase or source the Flakiness Sieve Set in India?
A: This testing equipment is available through specialized dealers, distributors, exporters, manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers across India. You can contact these networked providers for purchases, customization, or technical support.
Q: What is the process for cleaning and maintaining the sieve set?
A: The set is designed to be washable and easy to clean. After each test, simply remove aggregate residues and clean the slots using water or appropriate cleaning agents. Regular maintenance ensures precise slot measurements and extends the equipment's life.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a Flakiness Sieve Set for aggregate testing?
A: Key benefits include compliance with IS specifications, robust and corrosion-resistant construction, precise and reliable results, portability, and suitability for repeated laboratory and onsite testing. Its modular design also simplifies handling and storage.
