Project on which I am working uses particle shape requirements - flakiness and elongation. The definition for elongation is an H/D ratio > 1.8; Flakiness definition is d1/d2<0.6. This is significantly more stringent that Canadian definition of elongation.
We have a limit of combined of 25% and quarries are unable to produce to less than 30% - generally about 35%. We want to relax, but here the "word" in the specification is the "law" regardless.
Does anyone have a really good idea of what difference 25% has compared to, say 35%??
Your help is appreciated.
