LABORATORY CEMENT AUTOCLAVE AZA0797
Description
The AZA0797 Laboratory Cement Autoclave is a precision-engineered instrument used to test the soundness of cement by exposing it to high-pressure steam. Ideal for quality control labs, cement factories, and construction research centers, this autoclave is built to ensure consistency and accuracy in testing expansion caused by excess lime in cement.
Available now on Azalab, the AZA0797 helps meet ASTM and IS standard specifications for cement soundness testing. Explore our full range of Cement Testing Equipment
What is Cement Soundness Testing?
Cement soundness refers to the ability of hardened cement paste to retain its volume after setting, without delayed expansion that may cause structural cracking. The autoclave expansion test is a standard method to evaluate this property, especially in Portland cement.
The AZA0797 automates this high-pressure steam testing process, ensuring safe and consistent results.
