High Pressure Cement Autoclave is used to evaluate the delayed expansion resulting from CaO and MgO hydration in Portland cement. Steam pressure and constant temperature can be controlled under different pressures.
The device can apply pressure of 60-350 psi (0.4 - 2.4 MPa) and consists of a steam boiler, pressure regulator, pressure manometer (0-600 psi x 5 psi), air valve and 350 psi adjustable safety valve.
The Autoclave is designed to perform expansion tests on cement specimens.
It consists of a high pressure boiler with internal dimensions Ø 154x430 mm height, to accept a rack for holding 10 specimens. The heating system is achieved by electric resistances.
The Autoclave Complete with a pressure gauge, temperature regulator, control switches and safety valve.
The Cement Autoclave is supplied complete with 10 samples capacity Specimen Rack. Two Gang Shrinkage mould and Length Comparators should be ordered separately.
Autoclave include following equipments;
• Steam boiler
• Pressure Manometer
• Pressure Regulator
