The importance fo Particle Characterisation in the Construction Industry

Particle characterisation is essential in the construction industry, as it is a key factor in determining the suitability of raw materials and components used to make buildings, bridges, roads and other structures. It involves analysing the physical characteristics of the particles, such as size, shape, surface area, porosity and density.

Case study

We specialise in building high-quality roads and highways for various clients. Ensuring the proper composition of construction materials is crucial for the durability and performance of our roads.

One of the challenges we faced was achieving consistent and optimal particle size distribution in our construction aggregates, particularly in materials such as crushed stone and gravel used in asphalt and concrete mixtures. Variations in particle size distribution can impact the workability, strength, and longevity of the pavement.

To address this challenge, we decided to integrate particle size analysis into our quality control process. Meritics helped us to choose the Bettersizer 2600 as it has modules for both wet and dry methods of analysis. By accurately measuring and monitoring the particle size distribution of our construction aggregates, we are able to ensure compliance with specifications and improve the overall quality of our roads.
