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.

APPARATUS FOR REACTIVITY OF QUICKLIME AZA0809
The AZA0809 Quicklime Reactivity Apparatus is a precision laboratory instrument engineered to measure the thermal reactivity of quicklime (CaO) when it reacts with water—a process known as slaking. This exothermic reaction produces heat, and by recording the temperature rise over time, the apparatus helps determine the quality, fineness, and reactivity rate of quicklime.
Widely used in lime processing plants, cement industries, construction materials testing labs, and research institutions, this apparatus ensures accurate evaluation of quicklime performance for applications in soil stabilization, water treatment, chemical manufacturing, and cement additives.
The apparatus fully complies with IS 1514:1990 – Methods of Sampling and Test for Quicklime and Hydrated Lime and ASTM C110 – Standard Test Methods for Physical Testing of Quicklime, Hydrated Lime, and Limestone.
