Development Of Elongation Index Test Kit 2.0

Abstract

This research discusses elongation index test gauges that have been developed into elongation index test kit phase 2 (ETK 2.0). Existing elongation index test have is time consuming as it involves repetitive measuring and weighing procedure. The limited number of elongation gauge available in the laboratory also only exacerbated the problem. ETK was innovated and put to the test to evaluate its accuracy and practicality throughout the elongation index test procedure and the calculation process. ETK 2.0 was designed according to British Standard (BS 812 -105.2: 1990) with additions of the drawer for collecting the measured aggregates, a balancing weighing scale and with an application which will contains of elongation index test lab manual and automated data calculations. The materials used for ETK 2.0 main structures is mild steel. With 93.54% accuracy, ETK 2.0 practicality has been able to reduce the elongation index test procedure time by 28.9%. Meanwhile ETK 2.0 applications showed a practicality of 50.54% for time differences with 100% accuracy when compared to manual computations. In summary, ETK 2.0 has effectively accomplished its objectives. ETK 2.0 has demonstrated the ability to reduce computation time and expedite the elongation test procedure. Furthermore, accuracy of more than 90% demonstrates that ETK 2.0 is a valuable output in addition to being optimal. It is also respectable and reasonable.
