Sub-Category: SPECIMEN PREPARATION

  • The Le Chatelier Soundness Test Set is designed to assess the soundness of cement by measuring its potential expansion when subjected to boiling water, ensuring the material's volume stability.
  • This apparatus is essential for detecting unsoundness in cement caused by excessive free lime or magnesia, which can lead to delayed expansion and structural issues.
  • Constructed from spring-tempered brass, the mould comprises a split cylinder with an internal diameter and height of 30 mm, equipped with two indicator stems extending 150 mm from the centerline, facilitating precise measurement of expansion.
  • The set includes all necessary accessories for conducting the test, such as glass plates, weights, a tamping rod, and a steel ruler, ensuring compliance with international testing standards.
  • The components are housed in a durable carrying case, providing protection and ease of transport for field and laboratory use.
