How is the maximum size for using the jigging procedure determined?

The maximum size for using the jigging procedure is determined by the diameter of the aggregate particles. Jigging is a method used to separate materials based on the differences in density and particle size. It is crucial that the size of the aggregate particles is appropriate for this technique, as larger particles may not settle correctly during the process, leading to ineffective separation and inaccurate results.

When considering the diameter of the aggregate particles, it’s important to ensure that they are within a range that the jigging apparatus can efficiently handle. If the particles are too large, they may not respond to the jigging process as intended, compromising the effectiveness of the separation. This specific size limitation directly impacts the efficiency of the jigging procedure, making it a key determining factor.

Other factors, such as the texture and moisture content of the aggregate, can affect the behavior of the aggregate but do not specifically define the maximum size for using the jigging procedure. Similarly, while bulk density is a relevant characteristic of aggregates, it does not directly correlate with the maximum size permissible for jigging operations.
