LE CHATELIER FLASK AZA0793

Description

Le Chatelier Flask AZA0793 is a precision glassware tool used for determining the specific gravity of cement, an essential parameter in cement quality analysis. Available at Azalab, this flask is designed to meet the IS 4031 (Part 11) standard, making it highly suitable for cement testing laboratories, educational institutions, and construction material R&D labs.

Knowing the specific gravity of cement helps assess its density relative to water and detect adulteration, which directly impacts mix designs and strength outcomes in concrete formulations.

Product Overview:

The AZA0793 Le Chatelier Flask is a bulb-shaped flask with a long graduated neck and a funnel-shaped top. It is made from high-grade borosilicate glass for enhanced thermal and chemical resistance. The flask is calibrated for accurate volume measurement and is specifically designed for the displacement method of determining specific gravity.

Features & Design:

• Bulb Volume: Approximately 250 ml
• Graduated Neck: Marked from 0 to 24 ml in 0.1 ml increments
• Funnel Top: Helps in easy pouring of liquid (usually kerosene or naphtha)
• Material: High-quality borosilicate glass
• Accuracy: Each flask is calibrated individually for precision

How It Works:

1. The dry Le Chatelier Flask is filled with a reference liquid (kerosene or naphtha) up to a marked graduation.
2. A known weight of cement is then gently added.
3. The increase in volume observed on the graduated neck indicates the volume of cement displaced.
4. Specific gravity is calculated using the known weight and displaced volume.

This test is especially useful in identifying variations in cement composition and helps ensure uniformity and quality control during cement production.

 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q1: What is the primary use of the Le Chatelier Flask?
A: It is used to determine the specific gravity of cement by volume displacement method.

Q2: What type of liquid is used in the flask?
A: Usually kerosene or naphtha, which do not react with cement and have stable densities.

Q3: Does this flask meet IS standards?
A: Yes, it conforms to IS 4031 (Part 11) for specific gravity testing of cement.

Q4: Is the flask calibrated?
A: Yes, each flask is individually calibrated for precise measurements.

Q5: Can this be used for other powders?
A: While primarily designed for cement, it can also be used for other fine powders that do not react with the testing liquid.
