About ISI Marked - Length Gauge
Purpose:
This instrument is used to determine the elongation index of aggregates. Particle is elongated when its length (longest dimension) is more than 1.8 of the midsize of the sieve fraction.
Significance and Use:
This method classifies aggregate elongation by measuring the length of individual particles. The test is not applicable to material retained on a 63.0 mm BS test sieve.
Construction Details:
- ISI Marked
- Consists of a hard wood base with vertically mounted S.S. studs
- Eight S.S. studs are mounted.
- Aggregate to be classified is separated into seven sieve fractions from 63 to 6.3mm, and each fraction is examined separately.
- The mass of all elongated particles as percent of the sample is the elongation index.
- The distance between nails is applied according to following table.

FAQs of ISI Marked - Length Gauge:
Q: How is the ISI Marked Length Gauge used in aggregate testing?
A: The length gauge is used to determine the elongation index of coarse aggregates by manually passing individual particle sizes (6.3mm to 50mm) through slots defined by the hardened steel pins, as specified in ISI standards.
Q: What are the benefits of using an ISI Marked Length Gauge?
A: The gauge offers high measurement accuracy, corrosion resistance due to its powder-coated body, immediate manual test results, and compliance with ISI standards for quality assurance, making it reliable for aggregate testing.
Q: What materials are used in the construction of this length gauge?
A: The main body is manufactured from mild steel with a powder-coated finish, while the six measuring pins are made from hardened and ground steel for high durability and wear resistance.
Q: Where is this equipment typically used?
A: The ISI Marked Length Gauge is primarily used in civil engineering, quality control laboratories, and material testing facilities engaged in aggregate analysis for construction projects.
Q: What is the measuring capacity of the length gauge?
A: It is designed to measure individual aggregate specimens ranging from 6 mm up to 80 mm, but typically aligns with aggregate sizes from 6.3mm to 50mm as per ISI guidelines.
Q: Is any external power or electrical supply required for operation?
A: No, the length gauge is entirely manual, requiring no electricity or external power, which facilitates easy use and immediate test results.
Q: How does the ISI certification benefit users of this length gauge?
A: ISI marking signifies that the length gauge meets prescribed Indian Standards for accuracy, quality, and reliability, ensuring trustworthy results for aggregate elongation index testing.
