Sub-Category: SPECIMEN PREPARATION
- The Le Chatelier Mould is utilized to determine the soundness of cement by measuring its potential expansion when subjected to boiling water, ensuring the material's volume stability.
- Constructed from spring-tempered brass, the mould comprises a split cylinder with an internal diameter and height of 30 mm, equipped with two indicator stems extending 165 mm from the centerline, facilitating precise measurement of expansion.
- This apparatus is essential for quality control in cement manufacturing, detecting unsoundness caused by excessive free lime or magnesia, which can lead to delayed expansion and structural issues.
- The mould is designed for repeated use, maintaining its shape and accuracy over time, and is compatible with standard water baths used in cement testing laboratories.
- Compliance with international standards ensures the mould's suitability for use in various regulatory environments, supporting consistent and reliable testing outcomes.
