Blaine's apparatus
To check fineness of cement and cementitious material. Blaine’s apparatus is used to determine the fineness or particle size of cement, which is an important factor in assessing its quality and performance characteristics. Blaine’s apparatus helps in quality control and research by providing a quantitative measure of the cement’s fineness, allowing manufacturers and researchers to optimize the cement composition for desired properties and performance.
Cement gauging
Cement gauging involves adding the appropriate amount of water to the cement powder to achieve the desired consistency. The water activates the chemical reactions within the cement, leading to its hardening and setting.Proper cement gauging is essential for producing high-quality concrete
Cement Mortar Cube Vibrating Machine
This device is used in the construction industry to prepare mortar cubes for testing. The machine is specifically designed to ensure proper compaction of mortar specimens before they are subjected to compressive strength testing.
Compression & Flexural testing machine for cement and Mortar testing- Capacity 500 kn & 15 kn
This machine is commonly used in the cement and mortar industry to evaluate the mechanical properties and strength of cement and mortar specimens. These machines apply controlled forces to the specimens and measure their response, providing valuable information about their performance and suitability for construction applications.
Crack Mouth Opening Displacement with Clip Gauge
Clip gauge is a device used to measure Crack Mouth Opening Displacement (CMOD). It helps assess crack width and displacement, providing important information about the fracture behavior and ductility of materials and structures.
The method provides for the determination of the limit of proportionality (LOP) and of a set of residual flexural tensile strength values.
Curing Chamber with Automatic Water Sprinkler
A curing chamber with an automatic water sprinkler is a specialized equipment used in the construction industry to provide a controlled and optimized environment for the curing process of concrete or other cementitious materials
Energy Absorption Test
A fiber reinforced slab, sprayed in accordance with EN 14488-1 is subject to a load, under deflection control up to 30mm, through a rigid steel block positioned at the center of the slab. The energy absorption test is a mechanical test performed to evaluate the ability of a material or structure to absorb energy before failure. It measures the energy absorbed or dissipated by the specimen under specific loading conditions, providing valuable information about its toughness, impact resistance, and ability to withstand dynamic loads.
Fully automatic Compression Testing Machine- Capacity 3000kn
A fully automatic compression testing machine is an advanced mechanical testing instrument used to determine the compressive strength and other mechanical properties of materials such as concrete, cement, bricks, and similar construction materials. This machine automates the entire testing process, reducing human intervention and improving efficiency and accuracy
Hardened Concrete Density by Water Replacement Method
The water replacement method is a common technique used to determine the density of hardened concrete. It involves measuring the volume of water displaced by a known mass of concrete and then calculating the density based on these measurements.
Humidity Chamber
A humidity chamber, also known as a climate chamber or environmental chamber, is a specialized testing equipment used to create controlled temperature and humidity conditions for various purposes, including testing, research, and quality control. The chamber allows for precise control and monitoring of humidity levels, making it ideal for simulating different environmental conditions.
