This mean figure is then used to find the percentage of aggregate particles that have a thickness of 60% of the mean particle thickness. The resulting figure is known as the flakiness index.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIt is of the utmost importance to know the flakiness of an aggregate when used in construction. Flaky aggregates, for example, lower the workability of concrete. This is due to the higher surface area to volume ratio of the particles. Also, flaky particles may cause structural weaknesses that could fracture under pressure from heavy loads. Therefore, they would be unsuitable for basal and foundational structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eEach grid sieve that we supply has a powder-coated, steel, painted frame with stainless steel bars. As a result, you can rely on this robust, corrosion-resistant piece of apparatus for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Labquip","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53177192251730,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1059\/8272\/2386\/files\/1_9cde55b4-c4c9-4db1-b548-fcd6f05f6ce5.png?v=1775836033","url":"https:\/\/labquipltd.co.uk\/products\/grid-sieve","provider":"LabQuip","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
