Stone Grit 10MM VSI
Stone Grit 10 MM VSI
10mm VSI Stone Grit refers to 10mm stone aggregates processed using a Vertical Shaft Impact Crusher (VSI). VSI machines are widely used to produce superior-quality aggregates with a cubical shape, ensuring better performance in construction applications.
Specifications of 10mm VSI Stone Grit:
Size:
- Nominal size: 10mm.
- Graded to meet standards such as IS 383.
- Typically ranges between 6mm to 10mm.
Material Quality:
- Round in shape due to the VSI process, ensuring excellent bonding in concrete.
- Free from flaky or elongated particles.
Physical Properties:
- Shape: Cubical, improving the concrete mix’s strength and reducing voids.
- Specific Gravity: Typically between 2.6 and 2.9, depending on the source material.
- Water Absorption: Less than 1.5%.
- Crushing Value: Should be less than 30%, as per IS 2386 (Part IV).
- Impact Value: Typically less than 20%.
Advantages of VSI-Processed Grit:
- Enhanced compressive strength in concrete.
- Better gradation and particle size distribution.
- Reduced water demand in the concrete mix.
Compliance:
- Must meet IS 383 standards for aggregates.
- Grading should fall within prescribed limits for 10mm aggregates.
Applications:
- Used in high-performance concrete (RCC and PCC).
- Ideal for road construction, bridges, and load-bearing structures.
- Better workability and durability in concrete mixtures compared to traditional crushed aggregates.
