Product Code: C070
Category: CEMENT
Sub-Category: EXPANSION OF CEMENT
- The Autoclave Expansion Tester is engineered to evaluate the soundness of hydraulic cement by determining its potential for delayed expansion due to the hydration of free lime (CaO) and magnesia (MgO).
- This apparatus subjects cement specimens to high-pressure steam conditions, simulating accelerated aging to detect possible volumetric instability that could compromise structural integrity.
- Constructed with a robust stainless steel chamber, the autoclave ensures uniform temperature and pressure distribution, maintaining consistent testing conditions as per standardized requirements.
- Equipped with precise pressure and temperature control systems, including safety features such as a rupture disk or safety valve, the tester guarantees accurate and secure operation during the testing process.
- The design facilitates easy loading and unloading of specimens, with a user-friendly interface that allows for straightforward monitoring and adjustment of testing parameters.
