Sub-Category: CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

  • The Methylene Blue Test Set is used to determine the presence of harmful clay-like fines in fine aggregates by measuring the Methylene Blue Value.
  • This test is essential for assessing the suitability of fine aggregates in concrete and asphalt mixtures, as excessive clay content can adversely affect the performance and durability of these materials.
  • The Methylene Blue Value is determined by titrating a methylene blue solution into a suspension of fine aggregate and water, with the endpoint identified by a distinct color change on filter paper.
  • The set includes all necessary components for conducting the test in accordance with international standards, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
  • The apparatus is suitable for use in both laboratory and field settings, providing flexibility for various testing environments.
