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.
