BLAINE AIR-PERMEABILITY APPARATUS (C035)

Category: Cement

Product Code: C035

Category: CEMENT

Sub-Category: FINENESS OF CEMENT

 

  • The Blaine Air-Permeability Apparatus is designed to determine the fineness of hydraulic cement by measuring its specific surface area, expressed in square centimeters per gram or square meters per kilogram.
  • The apparatus operates by drawing a defined volume of air through a compacted bed of cement with a specified porosity. The resistance to airflow is measured to calculate the specific surface area, providing an indication of the cement's fineness.
  • Constructed with high-quality materials, including a stainless steel permeability cell and plunger, the apparatus ensures durability and consistent performance in laboratory environments.
  • The inclusion of a U-tube glass manometer with a valve allows for precise measurement of pressure differentials during testing, enhancing the accuracy of results.
  • The apparatus is supplied with essential accessories, such as filter papers, manometer liquid, and a rubber aspirator bulb, facilitating immediate use upon setup.
